Title: Be warned
Product review: Don't buy this book unless your instructor specifically requires it. Terribly written with virtually no sign of editing, it's a struggle to read and, when covering extremely technical issues, virtually incomprehensible. Worse, the content does not exactly match the on-line curriculum, meaning that Cisco on-line tests typically ask questions about topics not covered in the relevant book chapter. Even worse, the answers to the tests in the book don't match the questions being asked. Buy the Sybex CCNA book instead; although it's not written to match the on-line course, it will help clarify networking, and not leave the reader frustrated and feeling cheated.In short, this book is something of a disaster, and by no means should be used by someone who's simply looking for a textbook on computer networks. Much, much better would be "Computer Networking" by Kurose.I hate writing negative reviews, but this book certainly calls for it.
