In each 10-minute video, author Wendell Odom walks you through basic CCNA configuration tasks, including navigating router and switch command-line interface, static and connected routes and the IP routing table, and NAT overload (PAT). The videos consist of animation and video captures of a terminal displaying router and switch command entry and output while Wendell provides audio instruction on how to configure various features and offers various tips and shortcuts that truly help make learning easy.
CCNA INTRO Exam Certification Guide, First Edition, and CCNA ICND Exam Certification Guide, First Edition, present you with an organized test preparation routine through the use of proven series elements and techniques. “Do I Know This Already?” quizzes open each chapter and allow you to decide how much time you need to spend on each section. Exam topic lists and Foundation Summary tables make referencing easy and give you a quick refresher whenever you need it. Challenging chapter-ending review questions help you assess your knowledge and reinforce key concepts. Scenario-based exercises help you think about exam objectives in real-world situations, thus increasing recall during exam time.
The companion CD-ROMs contain a powerful testing engine that allows you to focus on individual topic areas or take complete, timed exams from INTRO, ICND, or unified CCNA test banks. The assessment engine also tracks your performance and provides feedback on a module-by-module basis, presenting question-by-question remediation to the text and laying out a complete study plan for review. The CD-ROMs also include a wealth of hands-on practice exercises and a copy of the Boson NetSim™ for CCNA, Learning Edition, network simulation software that allows you to practice your hands-on skills in a virtual lab environment.

Reader Reviews
I am studying for the CCNA exam. Per my CCNA instructor, it is going to take a lot more than studying these books to pass the exam. Real life experience of course comes first but extra studying and a firm understanding of IP subnetting is what is going to get you through the exam. The instructor we had was quite excellent and very involved in the industry and has seen a lot of people take this exam. He has yet to meet one who passed by reading this material exclusively. He had suggested the best use of these books was to use them to prop the door open. I would actually disagree on the last point. I haven't read these cover to cover (and I likely won't) but I have referenced them quite often while studying and they have helped me to understand many topics more clearly. Besides, my old Macintosh props my door open for me. But I do believe that these books are keepers, both before and after the test. My biggest gripe is that I am having problems installing the NetSim LE and I've heard the same experience from other students. So, I hope you don't pick up this item just for the network simulator.
