Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices, Part 2 (ICND2), is a Cisco®-authorized, self-paced learning tool for CCNA® foundation learning. This book provides you with the knowledge needed to install, operate, and troubleshoot a small to medium-size branch office enterprise network, including configuring several switches and routers, connecting to a WAN, and implementing network security.
In Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices, Part 2 (ICND2), you will study actual router and switch output to aid your understanding of how to configure these devices. Many notes, tips, and cautions are also spread throughout the book. Specific topics include constructing medium-size routed and switched networks, OSPF and EIGRP implementation, access control lists (ACL), address space management, and LAN extensions into a WAN. Chapter-ending review questions illustrate and help solidify the concepts presented in the book.

Reader Reviews
The book is a great source for one of Cisco's hidden mysteries - the meaning of the individual fields of various show commands and debug command outputs. Other than that, using it to prepare for the CCNA exam the book is drastically over priced for its content. The Two book CCNA Exam Preparation series (CCNA ICND1 & ICND2) by Wendell Odom is a far better buy and closer to the CCNA exam objectives outlined by Cisco. In fact, both of the Odom books together are cheaper than this single book. This book includes way too much trivia to be useful for the CCNA exam. Eventually you get lost in the detail of what is needed for the test and what the author threw in to show off his knowledge.
