Title: Only a Good Start for the CCNA
Review: Let me start with the Pro's:[1] This is a great book for people who have ZERO knowledge of CISCO like me. Todd does a great job of explaining the things that he writes about in the this book.[2] This book does a really fantastic job of discussing Sub-Netting.Con's:[1] This book falls short when it comes to the material on the Transcender test. This book is missing at least 30% or more of the test. Becuase you will be tested on hardware inside a CISCO 7000 router which is not covered in the book. There are also some commands that are not covered as well.Also, do your self a favor and do purchase Todd Lammle's CCNA Gold software program that emulates a CISCO router/switch network. Our CISCO engineers at work however, do recommend the CISCO Press books by Wendell Odem. Also, it would be envaluable for you to go to Ebay and purchase a CISCO 2500 or better router to play with.
