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) examination. The books are of high quality and save you money if you buy the set instead of the separate volumes, making this package a good choice if you're serious about studying for the CCNA exam (640-507). The package includes Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices, which clues internetworking newcomers in 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.

The Cisco CCNA Exam #640-507 Certification Guide provides tutorial material on all the CCNA subjects (conceptual diagrams and "worksheet" sections are excellent), and includes questions (somewhat harder than those you'll see on the test, supposedly) and annotated answers in an appendix. There's an exam simulator on CD-ROM, too. Rounding out the weighty box, the Internetworking Technologies 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 tunneling protocols that span the Internet. You'll find here refreshers on routing protocols and switching, too. Overall, the three books of this set represent a great value. Studied diligently and backed up with experimentation, they'll help you make back your investment very quickly. --David Wall

Topics covered: Routing, switching, networking protocols, Cisco-specific details of hardware and software, and everything else you 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. --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great!!, September 29, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Cisco Ccna Preparation Library (Textbook Binding)

ICRC book is excellent! This book is well written and covers most of the material. I also used the Sybex CCNA book by Todd Lammle, also a great book, which covered details that ICRC did not cover and vice versa. I did not crack open the internetworking technologies handbook to pass my CCNA exam.

This review is from: Cisco CCNA Exam #640-507 Preparation Library (boxed set) (Hardcover)

I must thank the author first for the compilation of this excellent book with adequate and most required CD-ROM. This is a updated version for the course CCNA 2.0. It has given me a great confidence before I entered into the exam terminal. In a short period, with concentrated effort of mine and with a great help from the CD-ROM, I have successfully passed my Exam. This is most useful for the people new to CISCO Exams.
