Summary: Now there is no excuse not to pass the exam.
Review: Twelve weeks ago I couldn't turn on a Cisco Router let alone program one to work. After using Todd Lammle's book not only can I program one, but I am on the verge of taking the test for CCNA. Lammle makes learning the Cisco Router fun and easy.In this book you get step-by-step instruction on the router and how to make it work. Lammle start from the beginning, networks and the OSI model, right through TCP/IP and sub netting, the configuration of the routers. The books has review question and hands-on exercises to track your progress. Included is cd with over 200 questions to practice with, I think more should be included. Also the cd has a demo copy of Visio Professional 5.0 for drawing out network. I also think a Cisco Configuration should have been included as well. About the only utility on the cd I Couldn't get working the Etherpeek, a small inconvienence in the grand scheme of things. So for the book that's filled with dozens of working configurations, meets the CCNA objectives, and give you the best chance to pass - don't pass this one up.

Summary: Good Book
Review: This is basically the only resource I used to study for the exam and I passed it a couple of days ago. Study the book, do the test questions over and over again and do the labs and you should pass.

Summary: I'll buy the next edition when it's time to recertify
Review: Good book if you want to pass the test. Occasionally not technical enough, and there are some errors, but it covers what you need to know. The practice tests on the CD are also a big help. I used this book, the Wendell Odom Cisco Press book, and some practice time on routers. Passed the exam with plenty of room to spare.

Summary: Good book - maybe not enough for the exam
Review: I took the exam today, based soley on this book, and two courses (ACRC and CIT). It was a new exam 78 questions, no reviewing or going back. I think unless you have a perfect memory this book is not enough to pass, or only just. Excellent book however and I highly recommend it for both study and to learn the basics or networking with Cisco. Learn the OSI model backwards, subnetting, access-lists, frame-relay, IPX/IP commands, console port commands. I did pass BTW.

Summary: Very good but not enough
Review: I use this book as my major study guide, and use the Exam Notes for revision. This book starts from fundamental things, so that it can refresh you about some things basic, you can go on studying easier. I think you can get what you want and what you need in CCNA exam from this book. However, this book cannot give a full details about WAN, such as Frame Relay, ISDN etc. I think you need other resources for supplement to ensure you can pass. Anyway, it is still worth to buy it. I can get 860 with this book and Exam Notes

Summary: Good book but no enough
Review: This is a good book to start preparing for the exam. The OSI model is well documented and believe it or not that is the section most tested in the exam! . I passed the test by studying this book. Not all the questions in the exam were from the book but they were not in the other books either.So the moral of the review is; you need hands on experience on the routers! That plus this book should more than suffice.

Summary: Read the book, had experience, passed first time
Review: Great book. I already had a ggood amount of experience working with IP addressing so I didn't even bother to look at that chapter in the book. As for the rest, it was good. Information was clear and concise. The examples were good. I passed the exam first time and am now goingt o start going up toward the CCNP. Recommend the book to anyone who wants to get there CCNA. Even with the book, I'd still recommend some work experience.
