5.0 out of 5 stars It's Cisco ... but not just for Dummies !!, 20 Nov 2000

By	Paul Murphy "slowly growing deaf" (Edinburgh, Scotland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Cisco Networking for Dummies (Paperback)

This is my first purchase from the Dummies range, and it certainly won't be the last. I work with computers every day and was looking of a way to get a good grasp on Cisco, whilst also hoping to improve my networking skills - this book has it all! Unlike most other computer 'bibles' this is actually quite entertaining to read, avoiding the countless diagrams and masses of technical jargon used elsewhere. If you are looking to get involved with Cisco, then this is for you (just don't be too embarrassed when caught reading a 'dummies' book!).

5.0 out of 5 stars Recommended, 2 Oct 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Cisco Networking for Dummies (Paperback)

I read this book as an introduction to cisco, and it did the trick, it allows people with basic or little knowledge to get a grip with cisco, it has excellent diagrams which explain the various ideas of cisco.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read this book and be a Dummy no more, 19 April 2004

By	David Moule (Essex, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Having worked with PABX's for many years the world of networking and VOIP seemed very daunting, but this book has been a Godsend. It explains what I had previously considered unfathomable subjects such as subnets and VLAN's in a concise, easy to understand way. It can't be considered as the only book You'll ever need to configure networks, but it's a great introduction - and no more will I be fobbed off by nitwits telling me if I can't ping it, it must be my fault!!
