Summary: everything you need to pass the difficult cisco-test
Review: Be sure to memorize/practice the exercices included in this book. You'll absolutely need them for the cisco-test (cisco includes router-emulation exercices, and the tests are adaptive !)

Summary: Don't be fooled
Review: Don't be fooled. Despite what other people may say here this is not an easy book to get through unless you have extensive computer experience. And I'm no dummy. I went to a top 20 undergrad. You really need on-the-job experience with computer networks in order to understand and benefit from this book. Also, don't even bother purchasing it unless you are already working in the computer industry. In case you didn't notice there are no jobs in computers now. Even computer science grads are having problems finding work. So don't buy this book thinking you will be able to find work if you pass the exam.

Review: Este kit es de gran ayuda, incluye la información necesaria para pasar el examen de CCNA 2.0, estoy satisfecho porque gracias a el pude obtener 946 en el examen.

Summary: All in one shopping for your CCNA!
Review: I bought the book and software seperatly as I didn't know you could buy this kit at the time. I am telling you that you just HAVE to have this kit if you want to pass the CCNA new 607 exam with simulations.

Summary: Excellent source of information !
Review: I bought this book and studied it for a month straight and it tought me everything that was needed for the CCNA. The sample questions were extremely close to the real test questions. It helped me pass the test on my first try. I highly recommend this book for anyone serious about the test.

Summary: Thorough and Very Well Written
Review: I bought this kit in the first week of February and took the test on February 28th. I passed the exam on the first try with a 946. This book is very well organized and very well written (save a few typos). It is really good at giving you all of the right information to where you will be able to carry it into a live network, not just to pass the test. The only shortcoming if there is one, is the tests are straight forward, and the Cisco test is NOT that straight forward, but since the book gives you the right foundation, it was easy to make it thorough. Definately worth it!

Summary: Enough to pass the test , but not to excel
Review: I had some experience with Cisco stuff. I finally commit to get CCNA. I start looking for a good CCNA guide, which can fill the gaps and help me recall. I bought this book with e-trainer. I never opened e-trainer or touch a router during the training. The information in the book was enough to pass the test from first time. I was quite frustrated with Frame Relay section of the book. My knowledge of Frame Relay was very vague and the book didn't provide enough information for me to feel prepared for exam. I had to find additional info about it. The book will definitely help you to pass exam, but doubt it that you can 1000 with it.

Summary: Excellent
Review: I had the Cisco official Course material for the CCNA2.0 course. I brought the CCNA2.0 certification kit it has been my best buy till date. The concepts have been really well explained and if you understand them one shouldnt have any problem passing the exam with high scores.I didnt bother to look at the Ciscos course materials cos I though this book was well organized. Dont expect the questions to be straight out of the books , read the book , check the review question dont memorize it and am sure everybody should pass. Also there were some errors in the book send an Email to MR.Todd and was surprised to get an email back telling me to look at the sybex web site and check the errata sheet. Looking forward to the CCDA and then CCNA

Summary: Best Book / Teaser Trainer
Review: I have looked at most of the available CCNA books. It isn't worth it, you just get confused. This book is enough to pass the test and learn about the basics of Layer-2 and 3 theory. There are a LOT of mistakes in the first addition. The errata on the sybex.com website has all the mistakes, but whew! The e-trainer is a frustrating tease. I was so fed up with it after the first lab that I was about to purchase a used router. Even the most basic lab(chapter 4) doesn't have all of the functions supported. However, like I said, it is a tease. The point of the e-trainer is to give you a path to Mr. Lammale's partner: RouterSim. If you have your invoice from this package, RouterSim will cost you $130 extra as an upgrade to e-trainer, or $230 without. So the minute you order this, I recommend going to routersim.com and picking up your updated copy because you won't have the annoyance of e-Trainer to deal with during the labs. Buy this set, get the upgrade, make Sybex and Todd rich, pass the test, start your path to being 1% as rich as Todd!

Summary: This is a great CCNA 2 Test kit.
Review: I have purchased the kit after reading the comments from other CCNA enthusiasts and they were right... this is defenitely the way to go to get your CCNA. Todd Lamme, wrote a good book! However, the Router Simulator had a few bugs in it that prevented me from entering free hand code to the router telnet simulation. It is still at version 1 and I think that it should be enhanced a little more. Moreover, like all tech books, there were a few minor typo mistakes that I saw in some illustrations, but nothing serious. I passed the exam the 1st time with a 849/822 but it was because I did not study hard enough. What I used is this kit, Boson's CCNA exam Questions and Answers (that you get with the CDRom) and about 2 hours a day for 1 month of studying. Also, do go to the CISCO website to get some further reference. Good Luck. Next, CCNP!!!
