Reader Reviews
Starting off this book is 25 pages just covering the OSI model and then 55 pages on router configuration and both are very good. Moving along to TCP/IP addressing is given fair coverage, needing more coverage of the CIDR topic. Ammann then tackles RIP and RIP2, OSPF, BGP, IGRP and EIRGP protocols and each are broken down and explained very well. This is the first book I have seen that actually breaks down IPX Addressing with any clarity. Along with IPX addressing is NLSP, IPXWAN and IPX traffic coverage making a complete sweep of the protocol. Ammann again amazes me with his 100 pages on the AppleTalk Protocol and his explanations are extremely complete, yet easy enough to comprehend. There is also discussion on the following topics, X.25, frame relay, ATM, ISDN and DDR. Finally the author gives you 55 pages on bridging and bridging concepts. Written by a CCNA, this book covers far more than the basic CCAN topics and should be used in Cisco certification exam.
