Product Description
CCNA Exam Certification Guide is a comprehensive study tool for CCNA Exam #640-407. Written by a CCIE and Certified Cisco Systems Instructor and reviewed by Cisco technical experts, CCNA Exam Certification Guide helps you understand and master the exam objectives. Section-by-section objective lists keep you focused on the material you need to study. The instructor-developed elements and techniques lead you to maximize your retention and recall of exam topics, and scenario-based exercises validate your mastery of the exam objectives. Along with the book, practice questions on the companion CD-ROM enable you either to build and take random sample tests or to focus on an objective area of your choice.

Amazon.com Review
Gunning for your Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) ticket? CCNA Exam Certification Guide helps you transform your real-world experience into test-ready material you can use to satisfy all requirements of the CCNA test (exam 640-407).

The CCNA exam is all about internetworking, with emphasis on the role routers play in sending packets back and forth among networks. Since the CCNA Exam Certification Guide is published by Cisco Press, it holds to the exam's focus. After a discussion of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) reference model and the mechanics of how each layer operates in an internetworking environment, the author talks about Cisco's Internetworking Operating System (IOS) and how it does its job, presenting information about setting up, configuring, and managing IOS along the way. Author Wendell Odom goes on to discuss networking protocols (especially TCP/IP) and the telecommunications technologies for connecting the nodes of a wide area network (WAN).

The book presents the CCNA material in sections. This approach allows you to work through Cisco's stated objectives for the exam one at a time, consecutively, or by only shoring up on weak spots. A quiz program on the companion CD-ROM offers extra drilling in problem areas. --David Wall

4 out of 5 stars Needs some Practice exams included   June 27, 2001
I studied from this book and thanks God I passed the exam. However, I had to get many other sources to practice on exam questions. I think the book is very good, but it lacks the exam-feel multiple questions. It also has a lot of writing which can be shortened out.

4 out of 5 stars Good book but overkill for the CCNA   June 19, 2000
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This is a fairly good book for the folks on the CCNP/CCIE track, its probably overkill for folks just looking to get their CCNA (The Todd Lammle book is probably better suited for that). It covers a broad range of material in fairly good depth. There are a few technical errors in the book, but overall if you can absorb 70 % of the information in this book and have a good understanding of the practice scenarios you will have no problem passing the CCNA. I found the sample exam on CD to be much harder then the actual CCNA 640-507 exam, also there were a few errors in the test exam. Overall a good pick for those on the CCNP/CCIE track. I picked up this book 5 days before I was scheduled to take the CCNA and passed with a 924.


3 out of 5 stars Exam retires July 31, 2000   June 10, 2000
  0 out of 3 found this review helpful

This exam will retire on July 31, 2000. People planning to take the exam after that date should buy the newest edition of this book.

One person whom I know who has taken the exam says the real exam is significantly more difficult than the questions that are on the CD.


1 out of 5 stars Needs a lot of work   May 6, 2000
  2 out of 3 found this review helpful

There's useful study material here somewhere -- but just try to puzzle it out.

This book BADLY needs to go back to a real editor. Not just to clean up the errors (there are a truckload of 'em), but to give it some sort of organization that makes sense. And while they're at it -- to try explaining commands and concepts before using them in examples and scenarios.

For the sort of money charged for these books, one expects something that's been at least read by somebody other than the author before being printed.

Unless you enjoy wading through things like repeated "study objective number" tables, I'd avoid this one.
