Reader Reviews
Robert Larson's CCNA book is well written and detailed far beyond the exam objectives of the CCNA exam. His knowledge of the subject matter is exceedingly evident with each page and each chapter. The drawback to the book is the timing, this book should have been released several months back. The 1,100 page reference manual starts off with the standards and the importance of why we have these standards. Then comes the OSI model breakdown, hitting the exam objectives right on the head. Next you get and look into topologies and access methods. I was impressed with the breakdown of IP addressing, subnetting and NAT. The author really knows what he is talking about. Excellent coverage is provided for in the Router commands, setup and configuration sections. Other areas covered are NOS, ACLs, switching, WANS, PPP, ISDN and Frame Relay. Included at the end of each chapter is review questions and there is a cd with hundreds of practice questions. If the timing was better the book would be a best seller.
