Format:Hardcover
Doesnt cover everything you need to know for the exam but what it does cover it explains a lot better than other CCDA books.

Only 27 pages on WAN design and topologies - it doesn't really cover most things in enough detail but still a good book if you already have underlying knowledge

Very Good 28 Dec 2000
By George Reynolds - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
I used this book to study for my CCDA. I had the Desgining Cisco Networks CD from Cisco, but this covered a lot more. The practice questions were excellent. I highly recommend this book.

Complete exam coverage for CCDA! 29 Dec 2000
By Michael J Woznicki - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Don't ever let it said that there are any good books published that cover the CCDA exam, If you think this true you might want to check out this book and begin to see what information is contained within the700 plus page book.

Starting off with Internetworking technology overview which will cover the OSI model, protocols and topologies. You'll then move to Cisco hardware and software and design fundamentals and documentation.

The once you have comprehended those topics you'll next find LAN design, WAN design, Network Address Design and Architecture design and finish with testing your design. This book is an excellent teaching tools for those people looking for a formal type of training.

The appendix A is a excellent glossary, there is also appendices covering firewalls and DMZ, NT Networks and a 33-page breakdown of the OSI Model. You also have review questions at the end of every chapter.

Also included is a cd-rom that has over 200 questions that can be setup in a timed or adaptive exam. The cd was easy to install and there was no major complications with the install.
