Good Overview of Cisco Basics

I read two Cisco preparation books prior to getting my hands on this one. Wendell Odom did a fantastic job of covering the basics of Cisco networking. If you plan on buying this book for the 640-801 exam, you should also consider his other book CCNA ICND (ISBN: 158720-083-X). Utilizing these two books really clarified any questions I had about Cisco switching and routing. This particular book is very basic and it describes...

An excellent resource for the new CCNA INTRO exam.

This book is best off the shelf study guide for preparing to pass the new CCNA INTRO exam. The CCIE author is very knowledgeable and thorough. I'm impressed by the list of technical reviewers who are all CCIE certified. What I found helpful within this book is the information presented in an easy to read, digestible format. Nothing is more frustrating than spending hours wading through printed or online documentation attempting...

I would reccomend this book for network professional who has just never taken the leap to certification and needs to bone up, as well as someone looking for a strong fundamental grasp of networking.

If you are ready to become a CCNA - start here.

You know by now that you could take just one exam, 640-801 and become a CCNA. But what if you haven't enough experience or want to be able to break down the studying, well then taking one exam at a time maybe just the answer. This book is the INTRO or 640-821 exam which covers the networking fundamentals all the way up to the actual router configuration, which is the other exam. One thing about Wendell Odom is that he usually...
