1.0 out of 5 stars
Waste of Money,
By A Reader (Vanouver, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Designing Campus Notebooks (Cisco Press Design and Implementation Series) (Hardcover)
The first few chapters glossed over things and barely scratch the surface. After finding many technical errors, I lost faith in this book, I am not going to finish reading the rest of it. I am disappointed at Cisco Press. Next time I will make sure I check the reader reviews first before I got suckered into it. Big waste of money!

This book is filled with technical errors,
By A Customer
This review is from: Designing Campus Notebooks (Cisco Press Design and Implementation Series) (Hardcover)
There are so many gross technical errors in this book that I came away convinced that it had never received a serious technical review within Cisco. If so, it would never have been published. Examples: On page. 60, the book shows an IGMP join being propagated all the way back to a video server. This isn't how IGMP works; the only feedback a video server receives is RTCP reports. It is routing protocols that handle setup of multicast routing paths within the network, not IGMP. On page 164, the authors talk about 10-megabyte and 100-megabyte Ethernet. Throughout the book, they confuse bits and bytes so often that it appears that the authors don't know the difference themselves. Looking at the author qualifications, one author is a technical writer, and the other is a marketing person. Not the kind of qualifications you'd expect from authors of a Cisco Press book.

Save your money...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Designing Campus Notebooks (Cisco Press Design and Implementation Series) (Hardcover)
Besides the significant errors, the author(s) lack the depth of understanding and qualifications that the other Cisco Press authors typically have. Although the book was intentionally written as an overview, items are just "glossed over" so lightly that you will wonder why the book's titled "DESIGNING Campus Networks" (as designing the networks overviewed is completely out of the scope/expertise level of this book). The book is more like a "by-salespersons/for-salespersons" level book, not a design book. If you already have even moderate internetworking knowledge you will not only be bored, but also frustrated at errors at the fundamental level (scary!). This is not your typical Cisco Press quality/level book. CCIE candidates save your money...This will do you no good at all.
