Product Review
Gunning for your Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) ticket? CCNA Exam Certification Guide helps you transform your real-world experience into test-ready material you can use to satisfy all requirements of the CCNA test (exam 640-407).
The CCNA exam is all about internetworking, with emphasis on the role routers play in sending packets back and forth among networks. Since the CCNA Exam Certification Guide is published by Cisco Press, it holds to the exam's focus. After a discussion of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) reference model and the mechanics of how each layer operates in an internetworking environment, the author talks about Cisco's Internetworking Operating System (IOS) and how it does its job, presenting information about setting up, configuring, and managing IOS along the way. Author Wendell Odom goes on to discuss networking protocols (especially TCP/IP) and the telecommunications technologies for connecting the nodes of a wide area network (WAN).
The book presents the CCNA material in sections. This approach allows you to work through Cisco's stated objectives for the exam one at a time, consecutively, or by only shoring up on weak spots. A quiz program on the companion CD-ROM offers extra drilling in problem areas. --David Wall

The instructor-developed elements and techniques lead you to maximize your retention and recall of exam topics, and scenario-based exercises validate your mastery of the exam objectives. Along with the book, practice questions on the companion CD-ROM enable you either to build and take random sample tests or to focus on an objective area of your choice.
Customer Reviews & Comments
I have been using this book as a study tool for the CCNA and think it is excellent. It is well laid out, easy to read and maps to the objectives. Also, it has alot of practice questions at the end of each chapter that are as hard as what you will see on the exam. As for the CD, I had no problems with it working on my machine. I don't recommend using only this book for your preparation though. I am combining it with Laura Chappell's ICRC book and Todd Lammle's CCNA study guide. They all have strong and weak areas. Getting other sources helps fill in the gaps. Further, this book does assume you have basic networking knowledge - if you don't have this, consider taking the Microsoft or Novell networking tests before pursuing the CCNA.
