Cisco 642-902 Exam: Frequently Asked Questions
The Cisco Implementing cisco ip routing exam is the official Cisco test registered under exam code 642-902. Passing it earns you the CCNP Routing and Switching, CCDP, CCIP certification, a credential at the Professional level. It is also linked to the related certifications: CCNP Routing and Switching, Cisco Certified Design Professional (CCDP), Cisco Certified Internetwork Professional (CCIP). Cisco exams are valued because they test job-ready skills, so a passing score here carries real weight on a resume.
The Cisco Implementing cisco ip routing exam includes 45-55 questions to be completed within 120 minutes. Do the pacing math before exam day: with that many items on the clock, you need a steady rhythm and the discipline to flag a hard question and move on instead of stalling. Two or three full timed sessions with the ActualCollection test engine will show you exactly what that pace feels like, so time pressure stops being a factor on the real day.

One of the most important characteristics of OSPF is multiple areas. Which statement best describes why this feature is such an important enhancement to earlier routing protocols?
- A. All computation is kept within the area, with minimum communication between the areas, allowing the network to scale to larger sizes.
- B. The use of multiple areas allows for the use of prioritization.
