Summary: Excellent book
Review: Book is great with many sample tests. But hands-on experience will help. One book alone will not pass the test. This is a difficult test. Not a bad deal to have this book, alone with the exam cram.

Summary: CCNA Study guide
Review: Brilliant book, I passed CCNA exam yesterday with a 924 score first time, tried other books but Todds was the most readable as if he was actually talking to you, and the best explanation ever on subnetting, even though I read it over a few times, but I felt comfortable during the exam. I liked Todds sense of humour. The test questions at the end of each chapter, plus the test exam were realistic to the real exam, 2 CCNP books already on order by Todd of course!

Summary: Disappointed with this particular Sybex book
Review: I have used Sybex for the routing/switching and remote access exam and passed the respective exams. But this book on the other hand was lacking some of the information on various categories of the official exam. Today I have purchased the official Cisco press book for this exam, which I will likely do for now on in the future. For now I have to pay for this exam AGAIN, this was the first I have failed. Good Luck!

Summary: Good Book
Review: I just passed the CCNP Support exam and now I have my CCNP cert. This is a solid book with good review questions. I thought this was the hardest exam of the four required for CCNP certification but it can easily be passed with this study guide. I also purchased the McGraw Hill CIT book (updated for CCNP 2.0) but I think the CCNP Support book from Sybex is a superior study guide.

Summary: Did he even write this himself?
Review: I used Lammle's CCNA book, and loved it. And I've often heard people say "I'm going to use all of Lammle's books from hear on out". Don't. My guess is Lammle didn't write the majority of this book. The writing style and sentence structure in this book is very different from his CCNA book. The first few chapters are ok, and includes diagrams where needed. But about 3 chapters in and the writing goes to gibberish and the diagrams disappear. I think they hired someone in the mail room to write 80% of this one. I found myself going back to his CCNA book to understand what he was TRYING to say in the CCNP book. ISDN is a great example. For a MAJOR CCNP topic, the coverage is bad. He tries to describe the ISDN reference points (poorly) and does not include a diagram. A quick glance at his CCNA book cleared up what he tried to spend 2 pages describing. Anyway, I found myself barrowing a Support 640-440 book and was amazed what a little "effort" on the authors part can do for clarity. I passed the exam with a score in the 900's, but can not accredit much of that to Lammle's book. Since he's coming out with a whole set of CCNP books, lets hope he does better on the others.

Summary: Good Enough, but not as good as his previous works
Review: I used this book and my own experience to study for the CCNP Support test. I did not use any hands-on time to study and passed the exam with a 896 (692 required to pass). So, based on the fact I passed the test, I have to say the book helped me to pass.Keep in mind that the CCNP: Support exam is really nothing more than a review of the stuff you SHOULD have learned when you studied for the CCNP: Remote access, Switching and Routing exams, with a small emphasis on basic troubleshooting methodology thrown in. Because of that fact, I found this book really only re-stated things that were in the previous books. The only exception is the first chapter where they talk about basic troubleshooting methodology. (Hint: There were at least 5 questions on the test from this chapter). The chapter review tests, along with the assessment test, practice test and 'bonus' test on the CD-Rom were very useful in focusing my study away from areas that I knew well and onto the areas where I needed to brush-up. This fact alone makes the book worth its price.

Summary: Same book as CIT just different name.
Review: I was dissapointed when I went cover to cover and realized I bought the same book again. Don't let it happen to you. You'd think something changed. The CD is the only thing that was different. If you have the CIT from the same source don't waste your money.

Summary: Passed Support Exam First Time
Review: I would recommend this book to anyone who is planning to study for the Cisco support 640-506 exam.

Summary: What are you waiting for?
Review: I'm not going to lie. The Support 2.0 exam is very hard! If you have hopes in passing the exam the first time, I recommend you to study this book cover to cover. On top of that, this is the only resource I used to prepare. If you do not have access to a router, you can follow the excellent examples in the book by writing down the commands and their results a few times to jog your memory. Bottom line, this may be the easiest way to prepare for such a hard exam.
