Summary: Great book!
Review: if you are learning CCNA by yourself and have a ciscopress book, but just understand half of the stuff, this book clear any doubt about the subject, its written in natural language, easier to understand than any other book of networking.

Summary: Average rating, becuase...
Review: Lammle generalizes a great deal in this text. Yes, he covers the fundamentals, but fails to give more detail information concerning LAN design, LAN Switching, and WAN protocol compatibility. A text for beginners, but I would not rely on it alone for the examination...It is the details that will make you or break you on the exam...

Summary: The best CCNA study guide
Review: Last month I took the CCNA exam and I passed it with 978 out 1000. In fact I was studying the CNAP for one year but this book was the right complement to success in CCNA. Obviously the next step is to pass CCNP exam, getting help from Todd Lammle books. The material contains some errors but it's an excellent study guide.

Summary: Good content, poorly edited
Review: The book is easy to follow. However, in several places typos and poorly worded review questions lead the reader to the wrong conclusion. Information is well organized and overall the book is a good investment of time. But the polish is missing in several places, especially Chapter 6.

Summary: Can't go wrong with this book
Review: The CCNA study guide is solid, and accomplishes its stated purpose: prepare you to pass the exam. If you read this book, understand the material, and do the practice questions/labs, you've got a great shot at passing the CCNA the first time (I did). There are errors, for sure, but you can check the sybex site for errata when things seem a little suspicious. This book will get you ready to go hands-on with Cisco gear and master the basics. Starting from scratch, devote 1-2 hours a night to this text for 6 weeks, and you'll be ready to rock on the test.

Summary: Simulator doesn't work well
Review: The text of the book seems decent enough, but the whole reason I bought the book was to get the router simulator software. This is supposed to be limited in scope, but sufficient to support the labs in the book. However, too many of the commands don't work even when entered verbatim, as specified in the labs. Someone obviously quit working on the software before it was finished. I am going to borrow a real router and get my money back.

Summary: It helps you get the job done
Review: This book and the CD-ROM helped me get my CCNA certification. The practice exams on the CD-ROM are a big plus because they really prepare you for the "real thing". All-in-all, I am very happy with the book. The only reason I am rating it a 4 is because of the many typos on the book, sometimes even wrong or inconsistent information.

Review: This book is ... ..Full STOP!! it has not enough info.
Info it has is not in enough detail
+
It contains wrong info and they are in alot of detail too The way it explains wild card in access list is just confusing... He doesn't even mention that it works in binary fomat which 0 represents checking and 1 means ignor..instead he made up this formula that are just impractical.. He talks VLAN and ISL but no where does he mention how you can set up a vlan and ISL on routers and switches... I recommend Cisco press' ICND and certification guide...I bought this cert library which had those two books and internetworkikng tech hand book...it's awesome.. with Sybex I failed by alot and with cisco books i got 95x..

Summary: Amazing book with an amazing amount of information!
Review: This book is more like a whole self-study kit. It includes a Router Simulator and over 1000 practice exam questions and 500 flash cards. For the price you cannot beat this deal. Besides having the "famous" Todd Lammle's text, you get a huge amount of extras that I have not seen included in any other text ever! This is worth three or four times what they charge for this book, but don't tell them that!!

Summary: Excellent book on the subject
Review: This book was well written and easy to understand. I have a background in networking, but had no experience with routers and switches. I used this book and the CCNA Virtual Lab, Gold Edition to prepare for the exam. I got a 967 my first time taking the test. Next up is the CCNP exams.
