Product Description

Review

"There are no prerequisites to taking the CCNA exam and, like all Cisco career certifications, the title is valid for 3 years. To become a CCNA, simply pass the exam 640-507 (Cisco Certified Network Associate) at any authorised Prometric testing centre. However, before paying the $100 fee when registering for this exam, make sure you thoroughly understand how to install, configure, and operate Cisco 2500-series routers and 1900-series switches and have a good command of the Cisco IOS commands." - TCPMAG.COM

Product Description

Ideal as a stand-alone exam preperation tool, or as a complement to any study guide, the Mike Meyers' Certification Passport series is a focused exam preperation programme. This "passport" provides intensive and concise exam preparation plus practice exam software from recognized experts. With free practice exam software included on the CD - the reader experiences exactly what it's like to take the real exam. The book's interior features a unique design that plays off a "travel" theme, making difficult material more interesting. Design icons make learning more fun than the traditional approach of other exam guides. Focusing on only what the candidate needs to know to pass the exam, the reader gets intensive and concise coverage of each official exam objective. Sample questions and answers are at the end of each chapter. All answer options, correct and incorrect, receive detailed explanations as to why the answer is or is not the correct one. The book's compact design is very portable for candidates on the road.

Some areas need a little more information - 4 1/2 stars! 9 Jan 2002

By Michael J Woznicki - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

Having passed the CCNA exam last year and having taught the ICND class over the past several months I am always looking for new material to better the class. Finding this book has given me new ideas and labs to create for the class.

In over 400 pages, this book has a narrow focus on only the exam objectives. While the book does a good job of covering the exam for those with limited knowledge or exposure you'll need alternative resources for studying.

Covering the OSI model, media, cabling, the IOS and boot process, CDP, config register, bridging, switching, spanning tree, the 1900 switch, VLANs, TCP/IP and subnetting gets you about two thirds through the book.

From there static and dynamic routing, RIP and IGRP, access lists, WANS, including HDLC, PPP, ISDN, DDR and Frame Relay finish out the coverage. Each chapter has questions and answers. There is also a cd with practice questions included and I think to make this the perfect study tool a router simulator should be included. Overall very good.

640-507 is a retired test. 12 Jun 2003

By gfx - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

.
This book covers a retired exam (640-507).

Passport does not produce the CCNA 640-607 book.

This book will not prepare you for the CCNA any more.

ONLY STUDY MATERIAL NEEDED FOR EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONALS 3 Feb 2003

By Kye - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

This review is for the "CCNA Certification Passport" from the Michael Meyers Passport series. This series is geared toward the experienced professional that needs a study guide that is written in a concise manner and specifically for passing certification exams. This exam guide is no different. I have passed the CCNA exam and can assure everyone considering this book that it contains all the knowledge you will need to pass the test.

What I like about this book:

- Pithy explanations of all the tested objectives.
- Exam tips of what to expect and not to expect on the actual exam.
- End Chapter questions that do a good job of testing the understanding of material.
- Practice tests of acceptable quality included on the provided CD companion.
- There is no material on the test that is not covered in this book.
- A replacement for and half the page count of Todd Lemay's book.

What I don't like about this book:

- The travel theme is a gimmick and is not needed.
- The CD exams do not prepare you for the format of the real exam.
- Some extraneous information discussed not covered on the exam.
- A simulator would have been nice.

Conclusion:

A great CCNA exam prep book that is really all the experienced professional needs to prepare for the exam. Also, a complete replacement for the Lemay book that is twice the read. A simulator is not provided but for this test that is not such a big deal.

I recommend some additional exam taking software like Boson or Transcender (my favorite). Boson is less expensive and has a simulator for sell as well.

Study well and then take as many exams as possible before taking the real test. Also be on notice that the real exam requires a high score to pass, so be sure that you are scoring around 80 to 90 percent on the practice exams before the real test is scheduled.

Good luck.
