OUTSTANDING STUDY GUIDE!!!
6 Feb 2000
Format:Hardcover
I bought Robert Myhre's CCNA Certification book and a Cisco 2501 Router on February 1, 2000. Prior to that date I had no working knowledge of Cisco routers and very little knowledge of networking in gereral. Today, February 5, 2000 I passed the Cisco CCNA test with an 804. The only study guide I used was this book and a router. This book covers every CCNA exam objective. It has excellent labs with practice questions at the end of each chapter. The author has done an exceptional job.

Even without page numbers this book is still one of the best
25 Mar 2000
Format:Hardcover
CCNA is one of the fastest growing certifications in the computer industry and there are so many books on the subject that it's hard to make a choice sometimes. If there was a book that would give you what you need and make it easy to understand you would buy it, right?
Maybe you check out CCNA Certification by Prentice Hall. Starting with the OSI model then moving to Hardware devices, followed up with TCP/IP, you have a great starting point. Also there is great overview of other CISCO switches and routers and for the test this is very handy.
There is one of the best breakdowns of TCP/IP addressing and subnetting I have ever read. The author simplifies static and dynamic routing, IPX/SPX, access lists and managing the router. There is also a chapter on router commands and extra features, another useful tool in passing the exam.
Appendix A is the answers to the practice questions, Appendix B is practice exercises and C is command structure and a cd with helpful utilities is also included. The only drawback to the whole book is there is no page numbers making it difficult to find things. Overall this book will give you everything you need to pass and for the money a good purchase.

A major factor in my passing the CCNA!
13 Jun 2000
Format:Hardcover
I'm new to the IT world, and I've still never laid hands on a router, so I had to do a great deal of reading to pass the CCNA exam. Mr. Myhre's book did more than any of the others I read to help me become familiar with and understand the exam topics. I had read some other Cisco books prior to reading this one; it's the one that really brought things together. The practice questions seemed easier than those in other books and may give a false sense of security if this is the only book you have read, but I think if you're seeking your CCNA and have limited or no experience you should read more than one book anyway (and find a good router simulator). After reading several books, I recommend this path to folks with limited experience who are pursuing the CCNA*: (1.) Myhre's book (this one!); (2a.) Lammle's study guide; (2b.) Lammle's e-trainer router simulator; (3.) Lammle's CCNA Exam Notes <* Note that this is in reference to CCNA1: 640-407. This test will be retired at the end of July 2000, so the new CCNA (640-507) may change this.>
I really like the way this book is put together - many thanks to Mr. Myhre. I didn't think the page numbers were hard to find, either. This is the best place to start your CCNA pursuit.
