: The 642-661 exam is no longer active. CBT Nuggets explicitly noted during the course release that the Service Provider track was being overhauled. Modern Alternatives : CBT Nuggets has since released a newer Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) Skills Course

The newer series is shorter, more focused, and aligned with current Cisco exam objectives. The older CCIP series is more comprehensive and spends more time building deep conceptual understanding through detailed explanations and analogies.

BGP isn’t just for certification seekers. Network engineers in enterprises with multiple ISP connections, data center engineers implementing BGP for workload mobility, and service provider professionals all rely on BGP daily. Having a go-to resource that explains core concepts clearly and concisely is invaluable. One description puts it well: “However, this training retains considerable value as an IT resource”.

Deep dive into how BGP stores, processes, and advertises routing information differently than IGP protocols like OSPF or EIGRP. 2. Advanced Path Control and Attributes cbt nuggets cisco ccip bgp 642661 by jeremy cioara new

Students consistently rate Jeremy as "the reason I passed." His energy is infectious. For a dry, specification-heavy protocol like BGP, this energy is a lifesaver. He treats the material not as an exam hurdle, but as a puzzle to be solved.

Keep in mind that this review is based on the course's general outline and might not reflect any updates or changes made to the course.

iBGP requires a full mesh (every router peers with every other router). In a service provider network, this is impossible. Jeremy walks you through: : The 642-661 exam is no longer active

Manipulating the BGP best path selection process.

Modifying the split-horizon rule to allow a central router to reflect updates.

Are you studying for a (like ENARSI or SPCOR)? The older CCIP series is more comprehensive and

Instead of relying on bulleted slide decks, Cioara draws live network topologies. You watch the packets move visually across the screen, making abstract concepts like "split horizon" instantly clear.

Moving beyond traditional distance-vector or link-state logic to route based on path attributes and policies.
