Product Review
As author Andrew Bruce Caslow so eloquently states, Cisco Certification: Bridges, Routers, and Switches for CCIEs is focused solely on providing a structured roadmap to Cisco Certified Internetworking Expert (CCIE) certification. At the very least, it will help you master the portion of certification that pertains to configuring, monitoring, and troubleshooting the Cisco equipment referenced in the title. A massive volume--the table of contents alone is 34 pages long--the coverage within ranges from general guidelines for port configuration to information on bridging nonroutable traffic to details on navigating the Cisco Internetworking Operating System (IOS).
As is common to this genre, the book is replete with configuration commands, diagrams, and tables. However, it maintains a more pragmatic tone than most as each chapter ends with some or all of the following elements: a summary, a professional development checklist, references for further study, and a "Can You Spot the Issues?" section containing networking word problems. The answers to these problems are found in one of the book's appendices. Also included is a section devoted to test preparation and test-taking techniques that details the skills assessed during the CCIE exam as well as commonly encountered testing landmines. An admirable effort, this granular but well-organized tome certainly appears to meet its stated goal. --Sarah L. Roberts-Witt

Customer Reviews & Comments
This review is from: Cisco Certification: Bridges, Routers and Switches for CCIEs (2nd Edition) (Cisco Technology Series) (Paperback)
"Cisco Certification - Bridges, Routers and Switches for CCIEs" by Caslow and Pavlichenko was admittedly published a few years ago. For it's time, this book was the `must-have' book to learn advanced configurations for the CCIE Routing & Switching lab. The authors are excellent teachers, and are able to explain complex subjects in an easy to read style. To find out what Bruce and Val are up to nowadays - check out their website at NetMasterClass.net. They have foregone writing an updated copy of this book and have instead focused their efforts on preparing top-notch labs to test one's knowledge before walking into the CCIE R&S lab. Still, in spite of this book's age, if you can pick up a copy today, you will not be disappointed. I give this book 5 pings out of 5: !!!!!
