In addition to this text i went further to find online practice exams and Professor Messer videos on Youtube as free self studying material. The book covered the objectives and even went beyond which is why this makes a great on-the-job reference."
"Most importantly, I was looking for a book that could not only keep me engaged yet also provide the necessary educational materials. Presently I'm over a hundred or so pages in (the book is Bible thick) and have purposely slowed myself down at times to ensure lesson absorption but honestly could read this book like it was a spellbinding work of fanciful fiction. It really helps to have an actual, honest interest in the subject matter and there are times where you'll want access to several different operating systems."
"the author does not drift off to complicated things when starting to learn the basics."
"While this was required material for my IT class, the writing is easy to follow and the information is clear."
"Pros: Packed with so much knowledge that I think Mike Meyers may be Thoth."
"Very informative, most chapters are easy enough to read, a little too heavy on the jokes some times, but I suppose I'd rather that than it being dry."
"It is packed with everything I need to know for passing the CompTIA A+ exam, and as a matter fact I almost gave it four stars because it is so packed it is too heavy to hold up when I’m laying down reading it!"
"Great book when it comes to questions in each."

If you're a network professional using Cisco routers or switches, or are currently preparing for your CCNP certification, this in-depth book is the ideal choice to help you broaden your skills in key areas you face in a typical day on the job. It thoroughly explores routing and switching, application layer security, common routing protocols, redundancy protocols, voice and wireless devices, and much more. Maintain security for your internetwork-exploring Layer 2 and Layer 3 devices.

Find Best Price at Amazon"I bought this book to help me study for the Cisco Certified Network Professional exams."
"However, this work comes pretty close - any closer and the book would be too heavy to lift - offering an excellent examination of routing and switching protocols, security, wireless, and QoS. The author's decade of experience as an IT instructor is evident in these pages; in first person voice, he leads the reader through a case study of a fictitious multinational's network infrastructure, building outward from the campus LAN to the enterprise edge."
"It's definitely a keeper for its extensive description of Cisco's product lines for working with the programming and network diagrams. As a desktop support technician, I rarely had any use of it except to learn what my supervisor might be doing at work."
"Spanning tree is still the most boring topic in layer 2 switching, but unfortunately it is absolutely essential that Network Professionals have a solid understanding of how to work with and design networks in terms of spanning tree. Chapter 8, Multicast - With the growing demand for video and voice on networks, Multicast routing is a needed in order to keep bandwidth utilization and overhead under control. This book really just scratches the surface of what current controller based wireless systems are capable of (only a half page on mesh networking?, KILLING me here), but the chapter does cover the CCNP exam topics in the required level of detail. A main function of the book is clearly to act as a study guide for the CCNP Exams, but "CCNP" or "Study Guide" is nowhere in the title."

Find Best Price at Amazon"The Good: Content: If you have just finished Cisco's Networking Academy and are preparing for the test, you need this book! At the time of this review, the full simulator is not out (I would buy it if it was). When it does come out, I'd definitely recommend buying it if you want structured labs that go along with the book. The pictures really help to solidify the information. There are A LOT of pictures, examples, and config checklists that take up A LOT of pages. Errors: Okay there are a couple of errors (literally 2) that I've found while reading and fact checking this book along with the NetAcad materials. It covers the information needed for the exam and I definitely recommend it for anyone who has just finished NetAcad."
