Customer Reviews

Ditto on the CCDA recommendation ...

Although a new CCDA exam (640-861) is now appearing, and the Cisco prodcut information is somewhat dated for the older CCDA exam (640-441), the foundations are great for both CCDA and eventual CCDP. I read this a year before taking up the CCNA and CCDA exams, and ended up referencing _back_ to it every time reading another book raised some questions.All-in-all, it's a great "base reference" for anything studying for Cisco exams.

Cisco Network Design Handbook, design concepts at its best!

After reading the Cisco Network Design Handbook, I was amazed at the amount of knowledge that I gained. I was able to easily plan, implement, and maintain global customer networks in a direct and organized fashion. Also I was able to solve network design issues that my engineering team and I were faced with, with quick and precise methods that I learned from this great authored book ! This book is must, for those in today's high paced networking enviroment.

Good book!

This book not only covers technical topics as they relate to Cisco Network Design, but also covers some of the more important softer issues that network designers have to deal with - customers, proposals, personnel and management. All in all , a good book to buy. Great for CCDA prep, too.

A must have for anyone wanting the CCDA

Not only have I read every word of this book at least twice but I was also on the production of this book serving as a technical reviewer for Michael. This book is one of the best cisco design books I have read. I highly recommend it for anyone wishing to work toward the CCDA or any network administrator or contractor that will be implmenting a new or revising an existing network. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK MICHAEL!
