Product Description
Product Description
Prepare for Cisco's CCNA Routing and Switching exam-while gaining practical knowledge of Cisco's Internetworking technology solutions for on-the-job success-using this comprehensive, 100% curriculum-based training system. Built upon the proven training methodology of Global Knowledge Network, this comprehensive study guide and CD-ROM offers actual classroom techniques used by more than 150,000 network professionals for certification each year. It will help you pass your exam and put you on the road to becoming a highly valued technical professional.
From the Publisher
Study Guide covers all CCNA certification objectives..
One of the dangers of being a print publisher in the computer world is that real-world changes happen all the time. Just as this book was coming off press (in late September) CISCO changed the number of questions on the test. Please note that they did not change the objectives...we have checked with the Cisco certification folks this week (mid October) and they have confirmed that Osborne's book maps 100% to the tested material...they just ask you (nearly) twice as many questions. So maybe you need the book twice as much! ;)

So maybe you need the book twice as much! ;)
In any event, Osborne's Press study guide is the only test prep book currently available for the CCNA exam. It's the only book that is based on tested classroom experience: Global Knowledge Network is CISCO's largest training partner. Each book goes through 2 stages of technical review with by professional trainers. Look for books on the 4 required exams on Cisco's CCNP sylabus to be available through Amazon in early January.
The book is selling amazingly fast for a Certification that is still only a few months old. The second printing is underway...and yes, we've updated the testing information. You'll also find a a place on the Syngress.com web site to post any accuracy questions as well as find updated information and errata listings.

2 Days with this book was enough to drive me up the wall. I know all books will have their mistakes but some of the ones in this book make me believe that it has never been proof read. I'd guess from the earlier reviews of the 1st edition that a lot of the mistakes have not been rectified. Pretty poor showing really. Is this a genuine attempt to educate or a fine example of how to frustrate. I'm of to buy the Todd Lammle book as I've heard only good things about it.
This book is easy to read and understand. I have recomended it to every one I know who wishes to be a CCNA.
Without this book I would not have passed my CCNA because even if you know the info, this book helps you express it in the correct exam-eze.
I do feel that this book does not cover all that you need to get 100% in the exam BUT - and this is an important BUT - if you read this book from cover to cover and understand what it tells you, then test yourself on the questions that are supplied and revisit what you need to brush up on, you WILL pass the exam.
Great Book Passed test on the first try.

I passed the CCNA exam and I used this book!
I purchased this book because its formatting was appealing. What I found very useful with this book is the HTML version of the entire text on CD. Read more

Worst book of the bunch
Numerous errors in diagramming and the use of nonstandard diagrams make for confusing examples. If you really want to get certified get the Cisco Press books and the Exam Cram... Read more

Worth Purchasing
This is a strong book that I used along w/ lammle's. Both were great, and both helped me pass CCNA. This book is strong in many places, and should not be disregarded. Read more

Don't buy this - buy the CCNA Study Guide by Todd Lammle!
This book was a terrible waste of money. I wish I read all the reviews prior to buying it! There were so many errors it made my head spin (both typos and incorrect facts! Read more

Good reference
There were some errors in the book, but over all it was a good reference to pass the CCNA certification.

A must to avoid
Bought this book and got burned just like everybody else. If it were possible to assign a negative star rating, this collection of dis-information would get five of those. Read more
