Customer Reviews & Comments
There is the old saying that that if you are told something you forget it. If you see something you remember it. If you do something you understand it. This lab guide is designed to get the student doing things so that he can understand and remember points that are going to be in the CCNA 4 certification test. The format of the book is like the old workbooks you had in college with perforated pages so you can work on an exercise and then hand it in for grading. This book is intended to be used by students completing the final course of the CCNA curriculum. The challenge labs are designed to test your knowledge of and ability to configure and troubleshoot routing protocols, switching concepts and WAN protocols. At the completion of the book the practical knowledge provided by these exercises, combined with the 'book learning' from the various study guides should provide for a passing grade.
