A Great Study Resource [1999-12-03]

Outstanding resource! This book is exactly what the title states. An exam certification guide, maps the test objectives directly into the book and provides tools that help you test your understanding. Good discusions on technical concepts with clear and definative explanations. I am taking the test soon, I will let you know how it goes.

What I've been waiting for! [1999-11-24]

Finally, a good resource for Cisco's CLSC exam and Catalyst products. I appreciated the level of detail and focus on enterprise configurations. This book contains insightful information that I found very useful.

CLSC Exam Certification Guide is a comprehensive preparation tool for the CLSC exam (#640-404) and Foundation Routing and Switching exam (#640-409). Coverage of all CLSC exam objectives ensures readers will arrive at a complete understanding of the exam topics. This title reviews the main features of the Catalyst family of switches and the placement, configuration, and troubleshooting of switched LAN networks. Chapters in this book follow a logical organization of the CLSC exam objectives, and readers can streamline their preparation through the assessment and review features in each chapter. In-depth scenarios provide a battery of challenging questions, and the accompanying CD allows readers to build random practice exams or to study with flash cards. CLSC Exam Certification Guide pulls together the breadth of exam material, enabling readers to achieve mastery of exam objectives.

The only book to get through the CLSC exam... [2000-01-14]

One good thing about this book is that it gives a breakup of the CLSC Sylvan Paper, telling you how many sections are there and how many questions are there from each section. This book is a summary of the CLSC course taught by Cisco around the world. It is recommended for people who do not feel comfortable with LAN Switching concepts... The books is very heavy on the Cisco Catalyst 5xxx switches and provides extreme detail. If you are following your CCNP track, this book is the OFFICIAL one. So get it. Pay special attention to the Catalyst 5000 chapters espcially the ATM and FDDI modules. :-)

A Cisco Documentation Cut and Paste! [2000-06-13]

Sorry to dispute all the other reviewers, but I spend some time with the Cisco Documentation and found that this book is almost entirely a "cut and paste" effort from Cisco Documentation. I found entire areas that were merely "pasted" into the book and others (e.g. Chapter 7 & 8 on VLANs) where the material was simply repeated from the previous chapter word-for-word.

No effort was made by this author to edit or explain the Cisco concepts. I always thought a book like this would contain explanatory material - but alas it was not to be!

Since I have yet to take the test, I can't comment on the substance of the material -- but only on the fact that I could have obtained the same material -- verbatim -- from Cisco's site. Too bad!

WOW! *Total CLSC Test Prep!* [1999-12-02]

Talk about an information packed book. I am working towards the CLSC exam, and this book really is the resource I need to complete my study library.

Each chapter starts with a quiz, and then covers the material with clear diagrams. The included CD-ROM includes practice tests and flash cards among other resource related material.

CLSC Exam Cert Guide is designed around the published study points for the test. Some of the topics covered are : network architure, switch configs, switch software, management, ATM and FDDI modules.
If you are actually studying for this test, then this book is a must have, and if you have ANY cat switch in your network, you best bet it to read this book and learn how to *really* use it to its full potiental!

An Excellent Study Guide and Cisco Switching Reference [1999-11-30]

This book walks you through the CLSC curriculum providing detailed explanations of terminology, switching concepts and sample configurations that will help you understand and digest Cisco Switching. This is the first book to provide the reference and study material necessary to prepare for the Cisco CLSC Exam #640-404, without this book you will have to rely on using the CLSC classroom text, lab guides, and Cisco Manuals which, in my opinion, lack sufficient explanation and detail needed to prepare for the exam. If you are preparing for the CLSC Exam this book will defenitely help.

A must Have [2000-06-21]

I have some lammle's book, but i always prefer cisco for it's easiness to read, systematically, and their closeness to the course objective.

Therefore, If you're going to take CLSC I would remommend you to use this book. This book will ensure high probability of passing rather you read other book.
Going to take it in 2 more days, with high Confident.

This book hits the target [1999-12-03]

This Guide is indispensable in preparing for the CLSC Certification. The book achieves an effective balance between conceptual and "hands-on" discussions. These discussions are skillfully mapped to real-world enterprise networking issues, empowering the reader with practical knowledge that can be directly applied, both on the exam and in the real world. This book is a must-have in the toolkit of the CLSC-bound networking professional.

The 1 book to purhcase for the CLSC exam [2000-08-31]

I was given this book to help prepare for my CCNP v2 certificaiton. It was orginially written for the V1 CLSC exam but the material in it well covers the BCMSN exam as well. A must read. If you could only purhcase 1 study aid for a cisco certificaiton this would be a top pick.
