Review:

This book did it for me!

I used this book to pass the 640-441 exam. What more can I say? I read it from cover to cover and it gave me what I needed to pass the test!

Review:

They Could Have Been More Organized...

This book contains a lot of information obviously written by a group of people who didn't talk to each other. Most of the information is repeated several times. Content is very disorganized. Most other Cisco Press Certification Books are much better organized. On a positive note, the CD Rom is VERY helpful. (Note that as of this date (Mar 2003) the test 640-441 has been retired and replaced by 640-861.)

Review:

This book is no good for the new CCDA Test

I just bought this book. But the book was written for the 640-441 and you can't take that test anymore, they discountinued that test 3 days ago!! I get to the test and now the CCDA test is 640-861 and I was not told that the test was changed!! They sold me this book for a discountinued test!! Half the questions were on material not covered at all in this book such as IPV6 and VoIP. They should not be selling this book any more if the test is not given. I want my money back!! It i confusing to get a book for the CCDA test that is useless.

Review:

Good Book for those with EXPERIENCE.

This book provides a very good overview of the tasks involved with designing a network. It is well laid out and very concise. Over half of the book, however, is dedicated to appendices that do little more than provide a small refresh of past exam (CCNP path) topics.

If you are thinking about buying the book, reading it, and then heading to the exam without a course AND you have almost no networking experience, then I'd say to save your money. Buy a book that goes into greater detail in terms of networking and network protocols. This book will help you answer all the case study study questions, and is excellent teaching the theory behind network creation, but it will do nothing to aid you in answering any of the number of protocol based questions or routing questions or connectivity questions that are a part of the DCN exam.

About 60% of the exam is covered by this book, the rest of the exam dealt with the above issues that I was able to answer with my experience in networking. If you have 3-4 years of solid network experience and have your CCNP designation, then this book should provide a quick and dirty solution to your exam needs (no course required).

Review:

It's a Guide not a Wizard

Excellent guide, but you'll need the classroom course and hours of studying...It's not a wizard like some people think, you have to analyse because the exam uses cases and several questions about each case, it's not just memorize steps and if you are preparing for the CCNA too, it is better.
The CdRom include a simulation test...believe it or not, I found some equal questions in the exam. I passed because I had patience to read and understood each case in the exam even I don't speak english.
