Reader ReviewsIn the certification process everyone has to start at the beginning. For the CCDP certification CCDA is the starting point and this book will help get you on your way. Once again McGraw Hill publishers are leading the way down the path to the Cisco Certification. For exam 640-441, CCDA, you'll find this book laid out in a manner that will take each exam objective and give you the information necessary to pass the exam. In over 750 pages of text the book makes sure that information presented is accurate and up to date. Starting with basic networking, routed and routing protocols, network devices and customer service, you might think you are leaning the CCNA track. However the book goes further including router design, troubleshooting and the CISCO ios making it a complete and well-rounded study reference. Discussing topics like RIP, IGRP, EIGRP and OSPF are but a few of the protocols listed in the book. A good explanation of TCP/IP is also included. The book gives you study techniques and "From the Field" which is real life situations to make it easier to understand certain concepts. Other things included are Exam Watch, which will help you understand the exam before you go live. The two minute drills are excellent, summarizing what you have just read and finally the self test are but one of the ways you can test your knowledge. The book also comes with a cd-rom with practice test that can be taken at any time to gauge your learning process. I recommend that you have some router experience before trying the CCDA track and then using this book you should have little trouble passing the exam.
