Richard Deal for President!!!

Mannnn, this book is an excellent resource. Upon sitting for the test and being presented a few questions, I felt that I prepared well. I used this book and the Cisco site during my studies and scored very well. Buy this book, follow up on anything that you do not fully understand (Cisco site) and you will do fine. The topics presented on the test were all covered in the book! Further, for an Exam Cram, the topics were covered in sufficient detail. Coverage of the XL access switches proved to be sufficient, as well. The test interrogated me on several topics related to those switches, more so than I expected. However, knowledge gained from this book pulled me through. Note: I noticed a few errors in the book related to the all router and all hosts multicast addresses. Beware of that! All router = 224.0.0.2, All hosts = 224.0.0.1. However, a few errors are to be expected with any book. Hence, I bestow five stars upon this book, anyway. Richard Deal for President!!! This book is off da chain! Thx.

Excellent Final Prep

This book is an excellent final preparation tool for the BCSN exam. It will not cover everything on your exam, but does an excellent job of highlighting a lot of the points you will encounter on the exam.

With the exam prep this is an unbeatable combo.

In preparing for the CCNP Routing exam I have read over books and each one is good and each one covers the objectives in great details. However there are times when I want to review and coverage of the major points only.This is where Coriolis comes in with the exam cram version of the Routing exam. Right in the beginning is a Cram Sheet with major points to keep as a handy reference.In only 320 pages you'll cover topics like internetworking, routing protocols like RIP, OSPF, IGRP, EIGRP and BGP, VLSM and management. Although this an excellent source of information it works best to use with the exam prep book to fill in the details.There is review questions and also a sample exam has been included. Overall the value is worth the price.

Excellent Resource!

The term "routing" is something that should not be not be taken lightly. My job as a Senior Network Engineer has caused me to wade through countless books, both good and bad looking for references and study material to assist me in troubleshooting and optimization, not to mention just trying to understand what the heck I am doing! Hopefully, no one is going to try and take this test on the material presented in this book alone....being a CCNP means so much more than taking a test....however, if you are looking for a compact, lightweight, EASY TO CARRY AROUND book that covers nearly ALL of the terms needed to understand the routing process and specifics about routing protocols, than this is your book! Mr. McMasters has taken a complicated subject and brought it down to terms that the average person can understand using clearly objective questions and lots of excellent visual aides. There are a few typos, and some of the review questions have debateable answers, but those factors do not detract from the versatility of this book. Use this book for more than just cramming for an exam....use it for reference because all of the facts are in there and easy to find! Remember that there is more to being a network engineer than just a certification!Good job Eric....this book will be well used!

Good Review Book!

I used this book just prior to the exam -- it was a great refresher! Questions are good, well written. This is the book to have if you need a good, solid review of the material. It's an exam CRAM not a textbook.
