If you're planning to take the CCNA exam, you'll need more than this book.
For Example , page 25 Chapter 3 Introducing the TCP/IP protocol , the book states " You first look at a diagram of the TCP/IP protocol suite that illustrates how TCP/IP relates to the OSI network reference model". All well and good , except that there is no diagram in that chapter.
This Diagram is important and should not be excluded.
This continues throughout the book , and will have you flicking pages wondering where these items are ?
So on its own , this book is not good enough to get a grasp of the CCNA concepts.
I have been using it along with Todd Lammles CCNA study guide Sixth Edition. As a companion to that book it is very good , in that this explains key points concisely without wandering off topic and waffling on about advanced items you havnt covered yet , which Mr lammle has a habit of doing.
So , I'd recommend it as a companion to Todd lammle and his study guides , I made great progress reading lammle's chapters and then the corresponding chapters in this book.
But certainly would not recommend it as a comprehensive study guide to the CCNA on its own, due to the amount of important missing material.
I consider myself a beginner/intermediate in networking and so far, it's been quite easy to understand the concepts explained. Plus all this info will probably be useful as reference ongoing. It even covers newer stuff like those sexy Cisco IP phones that you see on all TV shows now.
I like the way the author explains things, for example I have heard my colleagues speak about EtherChannel and port trunks and VLANs... all this sounded like rocket science to me, until I read an example that compares EtherChannel and port trunks and VLANs to a freeway overpass in the VLAN chapter. Now I get it!!! Also, the diagrams in the book make it very easy to understand some of the more advanced stuff.
This book has been very helpful so far. It helps me understand networking stuff that felt intimidating before. I am quite confident about the CCNA test now. I'll probably use the tip and tricks and best practices ongoing as a reference. I highly recommend this book.
Overall, everything was great, but we will see when I go to take the actual CCNA. If I pass this book will get a 5 star rating regardless of the flaws it has. The purpose of the book is to pass the CCNA and if I can do that with the help of this book, then who I am to rate it any less than perfect.
