Publisher Description
I found this CCDA book to be quite exceptional. It covered all of the areas that are on the Cisco CCDA Certification. The ideas, protocols and terminology are well explained and the scenario Case Studies at the end are simply AWESOME! The practice tests on CD are great too with a lot of the concepts found on the exam itself. I spent about three weeks reading and evaluating the book and CD. Get this book and get certified, it's that simple.
Reader Reviews
I went looking for material for CCDA and stumbled across this book. What I found was 400 plus pages of information making the passing of the CCDA exam easier and the learning were enjoyable. Covering the 640-441 exam the book is broken down into 6 parts covering 11 chapters. Starting off with the OSI model and then on to design concepts and models. You then move right into identifying the customers needs and quickly follow up with hardware for LANS and WANS. There is excellent coverage of addressing along with protocols, management and testing and a very good coverage of the IOS. The author includes 5 case studies to further help you understand the concepts of the book. The book comes with a cd-rom with over 200 questions and the install was a snap. The book and cd are setup for a classroom situation and the software can be taken as a straight forward exam or in the adaptive mode. You can track your results as well as a history of your success. Overall the material is excellent and the money I spent was well worth it.
