Customer Reviews & Comments
I recently enrolled in a Internetworking class and was not impressed with some of the books available for someone new to this field. Some books had too much or not enough information. I happened to read a friends copy and decided to purchase one for myself. This book is perfect for those of us that are new to Cisco Internetworking and being introduced to the ever challenging Internetworking world. I like the way the information is presented in a straight, but humorous manner that keeps me going back for more. Although this book may not appeal to those that may already have the knowledge, this book is well suited for anyone wanting to start from the beginning as well as those that have aquired CCNA. Great book to use in combination with course recommended materials. Excellent!
