Spotlight customer reviews:

Summary: You've got to be kidding me.
Comment: Noticeably absent from these reviews are all the people who used these books to pass the exams. I believe that might be because these books are not very effective learning aids. I struggled to follow along on topics I was fairly familiar with. But when the books took me into topics I was unfamiliar with, I found myself rereading paragraphs - not once or twice, but 5 or 6 times! I've been in enterprise computing for almost 4 years now, yet this author used terms I've never seen or heard (some words I think he just made up.) But the real problem was the 40 to 50 word sentences loaded with commas and double negatives. Here is how the author introduces you to Classful Routing

"Classful Routing: When a packet's destination only matches a router's default route, and does not match any other routes, only use the default route if this router does not know any routes in the classful network in which the destination IP address resides."

That was when I said to myself, "I'm going to need another book to teach me this material because I can't take another 400 pages of this." So, I think what I will do is find another book to teach me the material, and use these books to fill in the blanks.

If you are looking for just a reference manual for Cisco devices, this book will probably serve you well. If you are looking for learning material, then my advice is to keep looking.

Summary: Good book, horrible Boson test engine
Comment: I passed the ICND1 test with Odom's book, and the included Boson Test engine test questions had me well prepared for the actual exam. The Boson test engine included with this particular book does not prepare you well for the actual exam, with hardly any scenarios where you are doing an actual beginning to end configuration of the various technologies that are part of the ICND2 exam objectives. It is also filled with bugs, and the Boson people have provided a bug reporting system. They do not respond and have not corrected any of the bug requests that I sent over five months ago. Read the book, but forget Boson as reliable gauge as to what will be asked of you on the exam.

Summary: Its the official curriculum
Comment: This book is worth reading because its the official curriculum. However I have come accross a lot of inaccuracies which is amazing considering the technical review team.He does give some insights not found in the Academy program.Would be great if there was more of a focus on best practices and what is encountered in the real world of networking.There is too much emphasis on the exam but the book is not really a help on the real exam.

Summary: A great resource!
Comment: The Cisco Press CCNA ICND2 Official Exam Certification Guide is an excellent resource for those who are planning on sitting for either the ICND2 (640-816) or the CCNA 640-802 certification exam. There are two discs included with the book; one is a DVD with video training on such topics as subnetting and NAT, the other contains the complete book in PDF format, as well as practice exams.

Topics in the book are presented in a logical order, and include LAN switching, IP routing, routing protocol configuration and troubleshooting, wide area networks, and scaling the IP address space. There is extensive coverage of NAT and advanced routing protocol configuration that was not included in the first edition of this book.

Throughout the book, there are concrete examples illustrating the concepts presented. At the beginning of each section, there is an outline of the ICND2 exam topics that are covered, giving the reader a chance to gauge their knowledge of the topic. As usual, there is a "Do I know this already?" section that enables readers to tell if they have sufficient knowledge of the material that is presented in the chapter, and gives them an opportunity to skip ahead!

With this title (as well as other certification titles available from Cisco Press), there is a companion Website that publishes updates and keeps track of errata. This enables the reader to have the latest information available at any time.

Summary: Great book, very well explained, excellent for self learning
Comment: The book is great, good quality... Perfect for self-paced learning. I recommend to get a (free) router emulator to practice the concepts shown in the book, such as dynamips/dynagen/gns3 to apply the concepts better. The books has some little errors, such as graphics repeating (not supposed to) and some errors on the router labels. These facts shouldn't matter if you are really willing to learn the great (and challenging) world of cisco!.
