Title: Great Conceptual Review
Product review: The binding of this book, which struts the CCNA #640-507 label, is slightly misleading. A beginner will not pass the test studying this book alone. That being said, this is a great book to start with. The topics covered, from Spanning Tree Protocol to VLANs and Access Lists, are explained in detail with steps for implementing the technology thrown in. More comprehensive configuration examples and having those examples grouped logically would be a plus, and would have raised my rating to 5 stars. It is important to get a good grasp on the subjects presented in the book for taking the test and for performing the job. If an individual does not have much hands on experience, reading about the same technologies from more than one author (in a variety of books) will help greatly to understand networking concepts from all angles. I would definitely suggest reading the book... But for those in a hurry to get the knowledge and get on with the test, you should check out other options.
