A must have for novice networking students.

I myself am a novice-networking student. Having known little about the details of networking, this book has been instrumental in my high test scores. It is clear and concise, although there are some errors in this book; I highly recommend it for each networking student.

Perfect add-on for Cisco tests.

When you want information about Windows 2000 you ask Microsoft, Netware 5 you ask Novell, with Cisco Routers and the CCNA exam you need to go to Cisco. The First year companion is the book that Cisco trains with at the Cisco Academy and this should be your book too.The First year companion is 19 chapters starting with basic networking and the OSI model all the way through Network Management. Each chapter is detailed and...
