Customer Reviews

This book is excellent.

I passed the CCDA exam recently by using this book for my preparation. This book has everything needed for the exam. It includes all topics, case studies, and a sample exam. Although it has too much details in some chapters, it is useful for you to understand the material better. The CCDA exam is rather hard. It consists of 4 - 5 case studies, topics about designing Cisco networks and internetworking technology. There are 72 questions within 2.5 hours. The lowest score to pass the exam is 755/1,000. Think carefully before answering the question because it cannot be altered again after that.

Great for understanding network design & CCDA cert

I read this book at least couple of times before appearing for the CCDA test. This book is all you need for the CCDA test. It gives you good understanding of network design basics and covers the test objectives completely. Highly recommened!! I am still looking for the Cisco DCN CD-ROM - Cisco just has a Japanese edition on their web site!! :-(

BEST BOOK !

This book is the best resource available for DCN exam which earns you CCDA certificate. It generalizes the information in such a beautiful way that it becomes very easy to memorize important things for the test. This book along Priscilla's Top-Down book can easily take you through the CCDA test smoothly. I also used Todd's book after reading DCN and TDND books but that was just a revision for me. Best of luck for all candidates for CCDA certification !

Excelent networking study guide.

This book proved invaluable in preparing me for the Cisco way of designing networks. You are stepped through how to evaluate, document, plan, and implement a Cisco network and what Cisco products are used to monitor that network. But don't expect to necessarily pass the test with this reference alone. To pass you will need an understanding of the topics covered in the ICRC and some of the ACRC materials. However, the book covers its topics very well and should be read by anyone wanting to have a future in designing a Cisco routed and switched network.Mike Coffin, MCSE, CCNA, CCDA

Excellent book!

I used this book alone to pass the CCDA exam, with minimal hands-on experience or study time. It logically summarized the major concepts of the exam, in a clear and easy to interpret manner. I would definitely recommend it!
