The Barnes & Noble Review
Todd Lammle￯﾿ﾽs CCNA Cisco Certification Study Guide, Fifth Edition draws on more independent CCNA preparation expertise than any book we￯﾿ﾽve seen.

Lammle begins with an expert introduction to internetworking ￯﾿ﾽthe way Cisco wants you to learn it.￯﾿ﾽ This edition contains even more detailed coverage of IP addressing and subnetting: all you need to know to subnet a network ￯﾿ﾽin your head.￯﾿ﾽ You￯﾿ﾽll walk through configuring routers, switches, and hosts, as well as planning, implementing, operating, and troubleshooting LANs. You￯﾿ﾽll drill down into the details of IP routing and protocols (with newly extended discussions of EIGRP and OSPF). Lammle thoroughly reviews VLANs, WANs, access lists, and especially administration.

There are practice labs in every chapter, sample questions galore, and a CD-ROM packed with goodies (flashcards, PDF e-book, router simulator, and more). This book didn￯﾿ﾽt become a bestseller by chance. Bill Camarda, from the March 2005 Read Only
