Summary: If this is the best, someone needs to write a good one!!
Review: I'm amazed at the number of reviewers who gave this 5 stars. I passed my CCNA despite this book, as much as because of it. There is really no excuse for so many typos and poor explanations. And the E-trainer is truly a joke. If you're going for the CCNA, be sure to check into the alternatives.

Summary: Great source for self-study!
Review: Instead of taking courses for the CCNA, I decided to configure the self-study route (ha ha) and studied from a few books, including this one. Just passed CCNA with 94% marks! The trick is to find a good book like this one, study well and take lots of sample tests. Good Luck!

Summary: Pretty good
Review: Lammle's book helped me get my ccna with a score of 860. The strong points of the book are his way of explaining and breaking down router configuration and protocols. There are what I believe to be slip ups though. Wan protocols seemed to be thrown in at the last minute with minimul explanation. There are errors or typos in the flash cards program for the palm operating system. And the emulator doesnt let you do all of the labs because it only supports a set number of commands. Bottom of the line to me is the fact that I got my ccna. And I got it with this book and alot of studying. Study the book, take the practice tests provided and study more.

Summary: It Works
Review: Passed on the first try after 1.5 months of study. The e-trainer is great. There are a ton of corrections in the book that you must go to the publishers web site to find out about and to correct but it is worth it.

Summary: Excellent Study Resource
Review: The best part of this kit is the inclusion of the CCNA e-trainer that is also available separately. You may not be able to pass the CCNA exam without actual hands-on router experience but this kit helps to fill a little of the void in experience. This kit is a perfect companion to a CCNA course you may be taking.

Summary: The all-in-one CCNA exam prep solution!
Review: This box set contains the new edition of Sybex's best-selling and highly acclaimed CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate Study Guide, which provides in-depth coverage of all official exam objectives, and the CCNA Virtual Lab: Sybex e-trainer, which simulates the interface of a router configuration screen on a network consisting of three routers and one switch. After reading the book and doing the practice labs in the Virtual Lab, you'll be ready to approach the CCNA exam with confidence. Best of luck on your CCNA!

Summary: Great way to get certified
Review: This is a great idea: pairing a solid certification book with the simulated lab for hands on experience. You should try to get your hands on a real router, but this is the next best thing. The lab is a bit buggy (and now there is an updated "gold" version), otherwise this would be 5 stars.

Summary: Great Resource!!!!!
Review: This is a great resource for preparing for your CCNA. I would have given it 5 stars but the Virtual Lab software needs some work. But this is no reason to discount this material. Although you might be able to pass the test solely on this material I would highly recommend hands on experience(nothing can replace that).

Summary: Excellent: A Book + A well equipped Cisco LAB
Review: This is excellent for us who want to learn on Cisco Routers and Switches and who are interested on CCNA exams. Certainly this is the best book, well written most of the topics, easy approach. e-trainer is remarkable, incomparable for those who have no routers, no experience. Todd is giving us a virtual router setup with a hidden instructor. I am an MCSE with little router experience. I have found this helpful. Thanks
