Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
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

- Needs some Practice exams included
I studied from this book and thanks God I passed the exam. However, I had to get many other sources to practice on exam questions. I think the book is very good, but it lacks the exam-feel multiple questions. It also has a lot of writing which can be shortened out.

- Good book but overkill for the CCNA
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 ... Read More

- Exam retires July 31, 2000
This exam will retire on July 31, 2000. People planning to take the exam after that date should buy the newest edition of this book.

One person whom I know who has taken the exam says the real exam is significantly more difficult than the questions that are on the CD.

- Needs a lot of work
There's useful study material here somewhere -- but just try to puzzle it out.

This book BADLY needs to go back to a real editor. Not just to clean up the errors (there are a truckload of 'em), but to give it some sort of organization that makes sense. And while they're at it -- to try explaining commands and concepts before using them in examples and scenarios.

For the sort of money charged for these books, one expects something that's been at least read by somebody other ... Read More
