all serious network engineers need this book

I bought this for my CCIE lab exam prep, and it was headand shoulders above anything else I've seen, including somevery expensive ccie lab prep manuals. You will not be disappointed, Karl presents dificult problems and then showsyou step by step how they are solved correctly.Even if you are not pursuing the CCIE ciertification, every serious network engineer needs to understand this material.

To focus on exam - CCIE # 9285

It was my main book to prepare the exam. It is well focused on exam. It includes some fast and good therorical parts. During the exam you need to be fast. You get speed with confidence in your knwoledge and practice. The book help you very much in that sense because it gives you a method with the main steps, the traps you'll face and the main show and debug command.It offers nice and sophisticated exercises and labs. A very good way to check your level and practice "translation" of an instruction into a configuration. Does not include QOS, IPX, BGP but on those we already have the CD and good books. For those not familiar with Cisco Voice and ATM, it gives exactly what we need for the exam. With or without it, it requires work and practice. With some luck, I passed on the first time.

The difinitive study guide for the CCIE lab exam!!!

This is the best lab exam preparation book ever! The book assumes that you possess a strong knowledge of network protocols and understand a great deal about routing and switching, so it's not necesssarily the first book you should read. But it should definitely be the last book you read before taking the lab exam. If you do- not just read, but actually do the practice tests at the end of the book you will be very well prepared for the Cisco exam. I hope volume II comes out soon!

The MUST HAVE Book for CCIE candidates

This great book gives CCIE candidates the kind of info needed to present the new 1 day lab exam, I eagerly wait for Volume II of this book (Vol I does not cover BGP, Multicast, VPNs and some other topics that are currently part of the CCIE Lab). If you are looking for a clear and accurate study material for the CCIE Lab THIS IS THE BOOK YOU ARE LOOKING FOR!!

Excellent CCIE Lab Prep

I have used several ccie lab preps and books but have never come across anything as good as this one. I just wish it had come out a few months earlier, so I would have more time to pratice the labs. The book is jam packed with numerious exercises and several ccie day-one-type labs at the end of the book for practicing the real lab. There are diagrams for every exercise and scenario. This book certainly makses Caslow's obsolite and threatens the the businesses that have sprang up selling ccie labs. The down side of the book is, this is vol 1 and doesn't have IPX, BGP, IS-IS, IPSec, and Multicast which the author says will be in vol 2. Also the solutions for the labs at the end of the book can be downloaded from a Cisco site. I think this should have been on a CD and included with the book. I can't even find the solutions on Cisco site; it is probably not postered yet. The price is steep, but compared to what is out there, it is worth every penny.
