Customer Reviews & Comments
I passed the new format CCIE written in January 2003 with a 69. I am hardly surprised that so any people fail considering the lack of detail in this book that Cisco Press market as a "essential tool". I normally like Cisco Press titles - they are great. However, this book is FAR TOO BASIC. In fact the so called "test exam" (which, according to the book is "more difficult" than the real thing) is a joke that would not tax even a CCNA. The material is simply too basic and let me assure you that this is one heck of a difficult test. In fairness to the book though, it is impossible to cover the vast array of objectives in the CCIE written test in one volume. The book makes a good attempt at fleshing out the written a lot more than the Cisco Blueprint on the CCIE website. However, I am surprised that Cisco Press have put their considerable authority behind such a flimsy attempt at assisting people towards the CCIE. Every paragraph in this book needs to be backed up by a few hundred pages of reading in other "proper" books. I'm sad to give a book such a slating. As a general networking book for intermediate level people, it is actually quite nice to read - factual and concise - and you can certainly learn a lot from it. However, this book has very lofty ambitions - to help you pass the CCIE written test. It is just way too basic for that purpose. If you buy only this book to study from in the hope of passing the CCIE written, I am very sorry to say that I believe you will fail the test. In fact if CCIE were 100 and the passing score is 58, I'm afraid this book will get you no further than 15. That is the opinion of three of us where I work who HAVE passed the test and have viewed this book. Save yourself this purchase and buy yourself both the Jeff Doyle volumes (routing TCP/IP) and the kennedy/Clarke Cisco LAN switching. Make sure you read the URL's on CCO too. Very Best of luck.
