3.0 out of 5 stars Not enough to get you through the SWITCH exam 9 Oct 2010
By Mr-P
Format:Hardcover
Based on its title this book has been written with a sole purpose of teaching you what is required to pass the CCNP SWITCH exam. In that respect it fails! The book as it stands has gaps relating to syslog, SNMP, IP SLA, planning and implementation. Cisco Press released an errata after plenty of people complained on the Cisco forums but still this is not sufficient. I learned the hard way by relying solely on this book along with Cisco 3750's for labs, the end result being that I failed. I am now reading the Foundation Learning Guide which covers the areas missing from the Certification Guide and in my opinion is better suited if you are following the self study path.

** UPDATE 22nd October**

2 weeks after originally taking the SWITCH exam, I have now passsed. The Foundation Learning Guide played a big part in this as it filled a lot of gaps in topics that are not covered in the Certification Guide. As a self study aid, I would still recommend the Foundation Guide over the Certification Guide.

2.0 out of 5 stars Missing vital exam components 28 Mar 2013
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Based on the title, one would think this was a certification guide designed to help pass the Cisco CCNP SWITCH 642-813 examination. It was published by Cisco Press, who you would trust to write the text to ensure you have sufficient knowledge to pass the exam. You would be a fool to believe this!

The book serves as a good foundation to many topics such as Etherchannel and MLS, however covers NOTHING about monitoring your devices using such things as a Cisco IP SLA or SNMP monitoring or even Syslog monitoring.

I sat the exam hoping I had learnt enough about the subject from the text as well as a home lab comprising of 3550 and 2950 switches. I failed the exam as there were items on there that I had not seen before after reading the text.

If you are planning on sitting the Cisco CCNP SWITCH 642-813 exam, I would suggest getting another text to fill in the huge gaps in this one

2.0 out of 5 stars Not enough content 7 July 2012
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I used this for renewal, however there was no where near enough information to fully recap and cover the new content. Used in conjunction with other materials and you'll be able to do it.
