Thanks Anthony
I think I will practice it along with my switching. Not least as I read it
about while doing my washing in the launderette in 2000 when it was a
chapter in my Switching exam cram book for CCNP by Richard Deal.
I have no doubt that a botched Multicast config won't break your core, but
the marks available there may take you over a pass mark!
Incidently..I don't think Multicast is *that* difficult.

Hi Gary!
Multicast is a L2 and L3 Non-core topic. It used to be taught in the BCMSN
course (L2) - and now it has moved to the BSCI course (L3).
No matter when you decide to tackle it in your studies...I hope this
information might benefit you...
Most of us on this list like to break all of the CCIE lab tasks down into
one of two categories - Core and Non-Core. I define a Core task as one that
is critical for universal connectivity in the CCIE Lab. I further define it
as a task that, if not completed, will cause potential point loss in other
areas of the CCIE lab.
One of the many reasons this categorization is beneficial is the fact that
you can typically SKIP a Non-core task without as much worry as skipping a
Core task.
The entire Multicast section is typically Non-core, therefore. As such - I
actually left it until the very end of my initial CCIE Preparation studies.
There are some great stories of candidates that passed their CCIE lab
without ever even having time to attempt a Non-core section like Multicast.
While these stories are fun to listen to, it is definitely not a strategy
approach we want to plan on! :-)
