Reader Reviews
Having been working with Cisco and networking over the past several years I found the exams to quite challenging and very tough. Having worked with 2 CCIE's over the past couple years the CCIE exam would have to be the toughest exam of all, this training guide maybe a bright light at the end of the tunnel. What the author does in this book is create a prep guide of seventy plus pages for the written exam. His understanding of what it takes to pass the exam is what makes this book one of the best I have seen on the market today. To ensure you best shot at passing the exam each chapter has both a pre and post assessment test. Also the book has you working with over 15 scenarios and judging from the content it would appear that the scenarios were taken from real life situations. Covering the topics like the OSI model, number conversions, RIP, IGRP, EIRGP, OSPF, VLANs, BGP, MPLS, IS-IS, firewalls and NAT to name a few, you are given router screen shots and step by step instructions to help your learning experience. There is also a cd included with over 200 practice questions, so overall you have a very good tool. With a few grammar errors that need fixing this book should provide a great of help either for the exam or for the real world. Comment | | (Report this)
