CCIE Practical Studies, Vol. 1

Rating:
Summary: An absolute Star outstanding
Review: This is an outstanding book. In fact the part 2 is also a winner. The examples and the explanations are outstanding. This book and together with the part 2 is an art by itself . I think some of the materials are from Cisco website but yet the explanations are very down to earth and well written. I consider Jeff and Karl to be my Gurus and hope I will meet them some day.

Summary: Man oh Man!
Review: This is the best Cisco Press book I have ever bought. It has everything you need and nothing you don't. I thought it was perfect because it was a refresh of all the CCNP books in one! The labs are awesome (even though they require alot of equipment)I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to get a straight and to the point "Here's what you need to do, how to do it, and why" book

Summary: The difinitive study guide for the CCIE lab exam!!!
Review: This is the best lab exam preparation book ever! The book assumes that you possess a strong knowledge of network protocols and understand a great deal about routing and switching, so it's not necesssarily the first book you should read. But it should definitely be the last book you read before taking the lab exam. If you do- not just read, but actually do the practice tests at the end of the book you will be very well prepared for the Cisco exam. I hope volume II comes out soon!

Summary: Best as book but not unique
Review: Yes, this book is the best on the market in it's own class, but
if you are looking for a MANY great practical labs, just go Cisco
& search "Technical Tips" ... & no pay your $$$ for information.
