5.0 out of 5 stars Great complement to CIT, June 7, 2001

This review is from: Internetworking Troubleshooting Handbook (2nd Edition) (Core (Cisco)) (Hardcover)

I am currently studying for my last CCNP exam : support.

I find this book a great complement of CIT.

There is an error in book description : it is 1025 pages (not 714, which should be the size of the paperback edition), so it is much more complete than the online version on CCO.

I reccomend it in addition to CIT for passing support.

Note : I passed the 3 previous ccnp exams first try by using cisco ccnp course books.
