Amazon.com Review

Gunning for your Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) ticket? CCNA Exam Certification Guide helps you transform your real-world experience into test-ready material you can use to satisfy all requirements of the CCNA test (exam 640-407).

The CCNA exam is all about internetworking, with emphasis on the role routers play in sending packets back and forth among networks. Since the CCNA Exam Certification Guide is published by Cisco Press, it holds to the exam's focus. After a discussion of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) reference model and the mechanics of how each layer operates in an internetworking environment, the author talks about Cisco's Internetworking Operating System (IOS) and how it does its job, presenting information about setting up, configuring, and managing IOS along the way. Author Wendell Odom goes on to discuss networking protocols (especially TCP/IP) and the telecommunications technologies for connecting the nodes of a wide area network (WAN).

The book presents the CCNA material in sections. This approach allows you to work through Cisco's stated objectives for the exam one at a time, consecutively, or by only shoring up on weak spots. A quiz program on the companion CD-ROM offers extra drilling in problem areas. --David Wall

Ok Book but Read the Sybex book first [2000-02-08]

This was the third book I have read on CCNA and is an ok book over all. Mistakes are always expected, but my main complaint on this book was the OSI section. I read through it and might as well skipped it. It does have it's stronger points though. I'd recommend buying Todd Lammle's cybex book and this one, but read the cybex book first so this book doesn't loose you.

Good but very misleading... [2000-02-15]

This book is very good, but with it's title one would expect it to be a Cliff's Notes type of book that breaks down all aspects of the test. While it does do a good job of giving you most of the information you need to take and help pass the test, it does not cover everything in enough detail and also does not have anything dealing with Switching and ATM's. Two things which were added to all Cisco exams in 2000. Also this book has a tendancy to cover areas not needed or covered on the test which may lead to some confusion in some individuals. Overall however, this book did about an average job in preparing for the CCNA exam. If you are purchasing this book in preparation for the exam, you should look into buying other books as well if not attend some classes.

Someone didn't pay the editor enough money... [2000-02-17]

This book had the right information, but after my instructor handed me an offical 30-page handout of all the corrections that needed to be made, I realized that I had been better off buying the Sybex book. By the way, I found the ACRC book to be extremely helpful if your going to take the CCNA exam.

Good book but overkill for the CCNA [2000-06-19]

This is a fairly good book for the folks on the CCNP/CCIE track, its probably overkill for folks just looking to get their CCNA (The Todd Lammle book is probably better suited for that). It covers a broad range of material in fairly good depth. There are a few technical errors in the book, but overall if you can absorb 70 % of the information in this book and have a good understanding of the practice scenarios you will have no problem passing the CCNA. I found the sample exam on CD to be much harder then the actual CCNA 640-507 exam, also there were a few errors in the test exam. Overall a good pick for those on the CCNP/CCIE track. I picked up this book 5 days before I was scheduled to take the CCNA and passed with a 924.

Yeah MON! [2000-01-14]

I am a Professional in the I.T industry for 10 years and an associate lecturer for 6. I also have worked on several large scale projects and am trained in or exposed to many gobal trends. Believe me, if you have a clue of what networking is about and you want this certification, get this book. In my opinion, this book is quite relevant and a good source of preparation for this exam, the CD needs some work though. If you don't like the book, take the class instead! It's not Wendell's fault!
I not only have the book ... I'm keeping it!

This book is great but not enough to pass the CCNA test [2000-02-09]

This morning I passed the CCNA test successfully and would like to review this book. This book covers all topics for the CCNA test except ATM, VLAN, ISDN and switching. To cover the rest you need to buy the self study kit from the cisco website which comes with a book and a CD ROM (100$). If you learn these 2 books I am sure you can get the CCNA cert.

Good Reference - Some Mistakes [1999-06-02]

The book was helpful to me. I read the book twice and passed the CCNA test; however, there were some notable mistakes. I was able to translate around those because of my experience. As I've seen written several times, practical experience is a must. If you don't have access to routers or a test lab, then why bother? This line of testing isn't like Novell or Microsoft. Those testing and study programs are designed to help you pass regardless of your experience. Where as the Cisco line will test your knowledge based on experience as well. The test will try to trip you up, so you better know your stuff!! Believe me. I think this book is a good addition to your technical library. Good luck!!

No book has it all, but why not com close... [2000-02-24]

There is no way to take the CCNA after reading just one book, anyway, but after attending the Introduction to Networking and the ICRC courses, and reading this book, I scored an 869 on the exam. This book was definately enough to re-enforce the essentials and well as fine tune the more advanced topics covered in the exam.
