Book Description

August 23, 2004

The only authorized textbook for the Cisco Networking Academy Program.

This book provides the following reference, study, and review tools:

  • Each chapter has a list of objectives referencing the key concepts for focused study.
  • Key terms are highlighted in color throughout the chapter where they are used in context. The definitions are provided in a comprehensive glossary to serve as a study aid.
  • Check Your Understanding review questions, presented at the end of each chapter, act as a review and study guide. They reinforce the concepts introduced in the chapter and help test your understanding before you move on to a new chapter. The answers to the questions are provided in an appendix.

Throughout this book, you see references to the lab activities found in the Cisco Networking Academy Program CCNP 2: Remote Access Lab Companion, Second Edition. Completing these labs gives you hands-on experience so that you can apply theory to practice.

This Cisco authorized textbook is a portable desk reference designed to complement the CCNP 2: Remote Access course in the Cisco Networking Academy Program.

CCNP 2: Remote Access is one of four courses leading to the CCNP certification. CCNP 2 introduces you to the implementation of Cisco routers in WAN applications. The course focuses on selecting and implementing the appropriate Cisco IOS services required to build intranet remote-access links.

Cisco Networking Academy Program CCNP 2: Remote Access Companion Guide, Second Edition, contains all the information from the online curriculum, plus pedagogical aids to help you study. Use this Companion Guide to help prepare for the Building Cisco Remote Access Networks exam (BCRAN 642-821), which is one of the four required exams to obtain the CCNP certification.

You will develop skills with specific WAN technologies including analog dialup, ISDN BRI and PRI, Frame Relay, broadband, and VPN. In addition, the course details important remote-access techniques such as NAT, AAA, and queuing and compression.

1.0 out of 5 stars This book is packed with technical errors, April 14, 2006
This review is from: CCNP 2: Remote Access Companion Guide (Cisco Networking Academy Program) (2nd Edition) (Hardcover)
When taking exams for Cisco certifications one needs to know
quite a bit of command syntax, including the exact spelling
and any hyphenation.

Almost all textbooks for Cisco exams have some errors somewhere.
Strangely enough, usually the ones produced by companies not
affiliated with Cisco Systems are more accurate.

"CCNP 2: Remote Access" marks a new low watermark for books
produced by Cisco Press. It is truly sloppy work, which
appears to have been produced in a hurried careless amateur
cut-and-paste job which did not benefit from any serious technical review.

There are enough errors I recognized that I did not feel I
could trust any of the descriptions in areas of which I was uncertain.

Here are some of the problems which occur repeatedly, page
after page after page:

Commands will be spelled one way on one page and differently
a few pages later or even on the very next page.

A command will be described and its proper use stressed;
however, then the following example will use the command
incorrectly, or not even include the command at all in
the example configuration.

Save your eighty dollars and get more accurate information
from someplace else.
