Product Description

CCNP Official Exam Certification Library

Fifth Edition

CCNP Certification Library is a comprehensive review and practice package for the four Cisco CCNP exams: BSCI, BCMSN, ISCW, and ONT. The four books contained in this package, CCNP BSCI Official Exam Certification Guide, Fourth Edition, CCNP BCMSN Official Exam Certification Guide, Fourth Edition, CCNP ISCW Official Exam Certification Guide, and CCNP ONT Official Exam Certification Guide, present complete reviews and ample opportunities to test your knowledge of CCNP exam topics. These authorized Cisco CCNP study guides are written by CCIE certified individuals and certified Cisco instructors, bringing years of teaching and consulting experience together in an ideal test preparation format.

CCNP BSCI Official Exam Certification Guide, Fourth Edition, helps you evaluate your ability to use advanced IP addressing and routing in implementing scalability for Cisco integrated services routers (ISRs) connected to LANs and WANs. This book covers all the topics on the CCNP BSCI exam 642-901. CCNP BCMSN Official Exam Certification Guide, Fourth Edition, covers all the topics on the CCNP BCMSN exam 642-812 and helps you understand how to implement scalable multilayer switched networks. CCNP ISCW Official Exam Certification Guide covers all the topics on the CCNP ISCW exam 642-825 and tests your ability to secure and expand the reach of an enterprise network to teleworkers and remote sites with a focus on securing remote access and VPN client configuration. CCNP ONT Official Exam Certification Guide covers all the topics on the CCNP ONT exam 642-845 and examines your ability to optimize and apply effective quality of service (QoS) techniques for converged networks.

Every chapter in each Cisco Press Official Exam Certification Guide focuses your study and tests your knowledge of the subject through specially designed assessment features. ?Do I Know This Already?? quizzes assess your knowledge and help you decide how much time you need to spend on each section. The detailed Foundation Topics sections review the exam topics you will need to master. Each chapter includes a Foundation Summary section full of tables and concise reviews for quick reference. Challenging chapter-ending review questions and scenario-based exercises test your knowledge of the subject matter, reinforce key concepts, and ensure that you understand how all the technologies work together in a real-world environment. Finally, each book?s companion CD-ROM has a robust, customizable test engine that allows you to take practice exams that mimic the real testing environment. You can take a full sample exam, focus on particular topic areas, randomize answers for reusability, track your progress, examine your strengths and weaknesses, and refer to an electronic version of the book to review concepts.

CCNP Certification Library, Fifth Edition, is part of a recommended learning path from Cisco that can include simulation and hands-on training from authorized Cisco Learning Partners and self-study products from Cisco Press.

5 out of 5 stars Great Material with Good Examples   November 26, 2008
I received my CCNA last year using the Sybex/Lammle books. I was really worried when I found out there weren't any current Lammle books for the CCNP so I broke down and bought this set hoping it wouldn't bore me to tears with traditional technical manual writing. So far, so good, with the official exam library. The material is clearly written and explained with good examples and diagrams. I have taken 2 of the CCNP classes with the "official" Cisco curriculum and didn't get nearly as much detail as I have with this library. Don't be worried that the books are 4th edition, this is the 5th edition of the library and all the books are the most recent versions. The chapter-opening quizzes were very good at helping me decide what I needed to review when going back through the material a 2nd and 3rd (and 4th time). Don't forget to get your hands-on lab experience with free GNS3/Dynamips labs (routing only), they are a life saver and open-source to boot, check out gns3-labs.com. My only complaints are, first, there is no Kindle edition yet and, second, some of the tables are just page filler. For example, do I really need a 5.5" x 2" table showing that EIGRP is the only vendor proprietary routing protocol?

The CD has the PDF version of the book plus the test engine. It's a decent engine, I was hoping to find the pre-chapter assessments so I wouldn't have to flip to the appendix but I had to go to General - Book Questions then to Select Categories and remove all but the chapter I was interested in, then I had the questions I was looking for. It would have been easier to have a tab of pre-assessment questions with chapter buttons. The Study Saver was kind of fun, it turns your screen saver into an exam review. Not that I use a screen saver in this must-be-green age but handy anyway.

They may not have the humor and one on one style of Lammle books but they get you the information with examples and a friendly reading style.

One last thing to watch out for unrelated to the books themselves. I had them sent USPS media mail to save some cash, it took 11 days from TX to CO. It was a grueling wait.



5 out of 5 stars read BCSI only   October 29, 2008
The BCSI book looks really good. All information well explained with good examples. The summaries and Q&A s are helpful to reinforce the knowledge.

This was a GREAT deal... all 4 books for less than what any two of them would have cost on their own!

I live in Brazil and the delivery was amazin ! I bought through the standard shipment and it arrived here in 20 days.


5 out of 5 stars Very Helpful Books   June 20, 2008
The Cisco Exam Certification books by Cisco Press are the only books that I use when studying for the exam. The "Do I know this already" questions help you gauge how much time you need to spend on any given chapter and the practice tests included on the CDs are very similar to test questions. I have yet to fail a test using this method *knocks on wood*.
