Product Description
Get ready for the new CCNP Remote Access exam with the updated CCNP: Remote Access Study Guide, 2nd Edition. Organized for optimal learning and retention, this book provides in-depth coverage of all exam objectives along with practical insights drawn from real-world experience. The accompanying CD includes hundreds of challenging review questions, electronic flashcards, and a searchable electronic version of the entire book. The mid-level Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) certification was developed by Cisco to validate advanced knowledge of Cisco-based networks. The Remote Access exam (#640-605) is one of the four core exams that cover a wide range of topics, including installing, configuring, operating, and troubleshooting LAN, WAN, and dial-up access services for organizations with mid-to-large sized networks. Cisco recently "refreshed" the four CCNP exams, adding new questions and question formats to the pool, but leaving the previous set of exam objectives intact.

Reader Reviews
This review is from: CCNP Remote Access Study Guide, Exam 640-505 (Hardcover) After buying the Support and Switching books from Sybex, I was disappointed in their Remote Access book. It is not up to the same quality. The Authors have a tendency to repeat themselves from one sentence to the next. I found at least a dozen mistakes in both the text and the end-of-chapter quizzes. I did pass the Remote Access exam by using this book and on-the-job training. I can't believe anyone could pass the test by using this book alone. I have not read any other of the CCNP Remote Access books, but I would think there is something better available. I don't even recommend it as a reference book. There is just not enough detail nor is it clearly explained.
