 Best book as a Final preparation step February 24, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I strongly recommend this book as a final preparation step for the BSCI exam. It is perfect for that specific purpose. Firstly, learn the concepts and practise the commands using another material. Finally use this book to reinforce the concepts and pass the exam.
Necessary for BSCI prep, but insufficient January 23, 2008

If you're preparing for the BSCI exam, you need this book. Personally, I like to use the online version (at Safari Books) so I can cut/paste notes.
I took this approach to the CCNA volumes and passed the test easily on the first try. However, I did not pass the BSCI on the first try.
Compared to the CCNA volumes, the self test included with this book is not very helpful. It basically reiterates the "Do you know this already?" questions at the beginning of each chapter. I only bought the text for access to the CDROM test questions, so that was a little frustrating.
Too, certain sections of the book don't cover what you need to know on the test. Specifically, IPv6, multicast and IS-IS are short on detail.
Overall, if you use this book in conjunction with lab work, you will get close to passing. However, if you're like me, it might take a second try. Cisco has some good white papers on configuring IPv6 and PIM routing -- I'd take a look at them.
Pretty Glad that i bought this book December 5, 2007

 Not enough detail November 6, 2007
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
As a single resource for the BSCI exam there is just not enough detail or decription of critical subjects to give you any chance of passing the exam. The chapters on BGP and Redistribution are severely lacking in any examples to give you an understanding of how they work. I also question the structure of the book especially the 'Do I Know This Already' sections before each chapter. It is likely you will be attempting your BSCI following on from doing your CCNA and it is unlikely you are going to know anything about BGP, Redistribution, IPv6, Multicasting etc... so therefore question the point of having these sections. I recommend getting the Cisco Press Study Guides v3.0 if you can get them and use this book for revision purposes only as they do contain alot of questions you can go through before you take the exam.
Great book October 10, 2007

I have just finished this course with the Cisco Network Academy and have found this book very helpful in preparing for the 1st of 4 ccnp exams. It also is a good idea to get the BSCI command reference guide to go with it.
