Customer Reviews: Read 8 more reviews... Bad quality printing press? October 15, 2008 Maybe I just got a fluke book, but the one I received was very hard to read. The pages are a rough low contrast white paper, but some pages have a stained look to them. It is like reading black text on a smeared newspaper. As for the content I bought the color page PDF for the BSCI exam by Cisco press used it and some video learning modules and passed the exam. Again I am not complaining about the content of the book, if it is similar to the PDF then it is good. However, the book looks like an illegal copy you would buy out of the back of a van. Very poor quality press work! Excelent material for CCNP prep August 30, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful This is an excellent material for those who want to get Cisco CCNP certification. Also contain a very useful and update topics of networking. Mistakes & Inconsistencies Throughout August 22, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful I have the 3rd printing from July 2008. Make sure you download the latest errata from the Cisco website to catch some of the errors in the product, especially for earlier printings of the work. This product has Ciscopress on the cover. I would expect it to be the best material for preparing to pass Cisco's official exam. I have made to chapter 5 and my frustration grows with each chapter. The book is shoddy. The examples and questions related to route summarization are confusing and incomplete. (Fortunately, I still have my McGraw Hill/Osborne CCNA book to clarify these issues). There are errors on figures and tables (Figure 5-1 refers to a DDP?) The "Do I Already Know" quizzes in the book and on the CD do not have matching answers! For example, Chapter 3, quiz question 1: The answer in the book is "A reliable unicast" and on the cd the answer is "Best effort unicast" (in this case the book is correct, see page 71). I have tried updating the test engine, no update exists. I have never experienced these types of errors with Sybex products or McGraw Hill. I won't experience them again with Ciscopress books because I doubt I would purchase another book from them. just a supplement May 19, 2008 A good supplement but not a sole resource for the exam. IGP's are covered in depth but topics like BGP, redistribution and multicast are vaguely explained without much examples. frequent errors in the answers to the quizes that are in the begining of each chapter. Sufficient to pass the exam April 1, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful This book was the only one I used to study for and pass the BSCI exam on the first attempt. This is one of the better Cisco books I have purchased. The level of detail seemed appropriate and matched the emphasis placed on topics in the exam itself. As this was completely a self-study effort, I was skeptical that this would be sufficient for passing the exam but it was in my case. As is most typical with Cisco exams, they choose many small details that are in the textbook but may not be information that you retain while studying. This did take me 2 1/2 months worth of studying most every day in order to feel confident enough to attempt taking the exam.
