Passed the CCNA in 3 weeks using only this book

I found this book complete, concise, and easy to follow. I passed my CCNA in three weeks using this book and access to a 2600 router.

Very Good but needs a little work.

Study for the CCNA Exam and you'll find that there are several books on the subject. However when a great book is coupled with an excellent testing package you'll find the study time is reduced.The 2-book reference is a great set of material for the classroom or self-study. Book 1 - CCNA Study Guide covers the topics of the OSI Model, 802, standards, topologies, bridging & switching, IOS Commands, TCP/IP addressing and subnetting.Also covered are IP Protocols, VLANS, IPX, and ISDN. ATM and Frame Relay. The book included hands-on exercises, Lab questions, and self-test at the end of each chapter. The book also details the 1900 switch, which is essential to passing the exam.Book 1 also has a cd-rom included with over 300 practice questions. The cd includes CertTrainer, which is a self-paced trainer for the CCNA Exam. ExamSim is the practice exam software that simulates the real exam. In book 2 - CCNA Test Yourself, you'll be given over 300 questions that cover areas like Bridging, switching, routing protocols, access lists, ISDN, PPP, frame relay and OSI. Also there is 1 practice test included in the book and you have the ability to download more questions from the web.

Great just for the exam

Don't expect to pass the exam if you know nothing about Cisco routers. Although you won`t learn nothing else, it is a good complement for practising the layout of the exam. Learn with Cisco and practise with Syngress, I passed the exam with no difficulties.

Covers all you need

I just walked out of my testing center a new CCNA, and I owe a lot of it to this book. After taking a course at my local training center, I spent a solid couple of weeks reviewing this book. It hits all the key objectives and material you need to know in order to pass this exam. Obviously the more hands on the better, but this book really fills in the details.

Another great catch on the road to CCNA success.

With the newest CCNA exam, 640-507, now available to the public it is very important to have the best possible chance to pass the exam. The 2nd edition of the CCNA study guide is a great start in making sure you pass the exam the first time around.The book takes on every exam objective and delivers an excellent study guide for those new to the CCNA arena. With some of the best coverage of TCP/IP and IP Addressing and sub netting I have ever come across, this is an outstanding work. Other topics like LAN, VLANS, Cisco IOS 12.0, CDP, STP, STA, Access lists with IP and IPX are also covered in the book. The author's ability to make the ideas seems easier is a great plus. The author has taken the time to simplify the complex.There are exercises, figures, diagrams, review questions and even screen shots of the router to make sure you are on the right track. Also the author gives you a very detailed breakdown of the 1900 switch.Finally there is a cd-rom included with over 290 questions to practice before going live. The cd includes an e-book, which makes studying easier because you can bring the book with you. Overall a very good value for the money.
