Cisco CCNA Exams 640-507 Preparation Library (Cisco Systems) Book

What we have in the Cisco CCNA Exam #640-507 Preparation Library is a boxed set of three books meant to prepare you for the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) examinations. The books are of high quality and you save some money by buying the set instead of the separate volumes, so this package is a good choice if you're serious about studying for the CCNA exam (640-507). The package includes Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices, which clues in internetworking newcomers to the fundamentals of Cisco hardware and the basics of Internetwork Operating System (IOS) configuration. The book covers local- and wide-area networking connectivity, protocols, and the fundamentals of routing. Cisco CCNA Exam 640-507 Certification Guide provides tutorial material on all the CCNA subjects (conceptual diagrams and "worksheet" sections are excellent), but also includes questions (supposedly somewhat harder than those you'll see on the test) and annotated answers in an appendix. There's an exam simulator on CD-ROM, too. Rounding out the weighty box, Internetworking Technology Handbook, Second Edition (the only paperback in the set) takes a measured approach to strategies for getting data from here to there, including Ethernet, frame relay, asynchronous transfer mode (ATM), digital subscriber line (DSL), and tunnelling protocols that span the Internet. You'll find refreshers on routing protocols and switching here, too. Overall, the three books of this set represent a great value. Studied diligently and backed up with experimentation, you'll be able to make back your investment very quickly. --David Wall, Amazon.comTopics covered: Routing, switching, networking protocols, Cisco-specific details of hardware and software, and everything else you'll need to understand in order to make a good showing on the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) exam (640-507). Coverage ranges from basic to moderately advanced, so readers of many levels will like what they find here.Read More
