following topics are general guidelines
for the content likely to be included on
the Routing exam. However, other related
topics may also appear on any specific delivery
of the exam (excerpts from Cisco Certification
web site).
1. Routing Principles

area
4. Interconnecting Multiple OSFP Areas
4.1. Describe the issues with interconnecting
multiple areas and how OSPF addresses
each
4.2. Explain the differences between the
possible types of areas, routers, and
LSAs

7.3. Describe and configure policy control
in BGP using prefix lists
7.4. Describe methods to connect to multiple
ISPs using BGP
7.5. Explain the use of redistribution
between BGP and Interior Gateway Protocols
(IGPs)
7.6. Configure a multihomed BGP environment
and verify proper operation
8. Optimizing Routing Update Operation
8.1. Select and configure the different
ways to control routing update traffic
8.2. Configure route redistribution in
a network that does not have redundant
paths between dissimilar routing processes
8.3. Configure route redistribution in
a network that has redundant paths between
dissimilar routing processes
8.4. Resolve path selection problems that
result in a redistributed network
9. Verify route redistribution
9.1. Configure policy-based routing using
route maps
9.2. Configure redistribution between
different routing domains and verify proper
operation
