5.0 out of 5 stars
Mike Meyers is simply the best.,
By Michael J Woznicki "Michael J Woznicki" (Holland, MA USA) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Network+ Certification All-in-One Exam Guide, Second Edition (Hardcover)
Over the past 13 years there are a few names that have become standouts in the certification arena, Mike Meyers is one of those people, first in A+ and now with the second edition of the Network+ certification. Updating and already highly useful book, Meyers has once again covered each exam objective completely and once again he has gone far beyond the exam to give the reader more than enough information.
This 700 plus page manual, broken down into three parts begins with part 1 covering networking fundamentals, client/server concepts, resource sharing and the always difficult OSI Model. Meyers' expertise has never been more apparent than it is throughout this first section.
In part 2 the Basic LAN section, you'll handle topics like hardware, topologies, Ethernet and 802 standards, 5-4-3 rule, token ring, FDDI, ATM, cabling. Protocols like NETBeui, NetBios, IPX, SPX, TCP/IP and AppleTalk are the next areas that have been given coverage.
The section winds up with TCP/IP utilities like DHCP, DNS, WINS, YCP and UDP. From there you move onto NOSes like NT, Novell, UNIX, Linux and the MAC. Then you go to part 3 which is the beyond the LAN section, most of this section goes beyond the exam objectives but as you have come to expect from Meyers, this is information that will carry beyond the test right into the job.
In part 3 permissions, rights, resource sharing, web concept of HTTP, FTP and HTTPS, remote connectivity like SLIP, PPP, PPTP, VPNs and authentication and encryption. Finally Raid, backup solutions and troubleshooting round out what is already a masterful layout of technical expertise.
Each chapter has practice questions, there is a cd with hundreds of questions and you can go directly to Total Seminars to get even more practice questions. Overall is you are looking to make short work of the Network+ exam start here for the best chance possible.

4.0 out of 5 stars
It does not cover all the material in the Network+ exam.,
By cs2001 (Western NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Network+ Certification All-in-One Exam Guide, Second Edition (Hardcover)
Like other reviewers had said, this book is an extremely easy read. I finished this book in about 10 days. However, I also just passed the Network+ certification exam and found out COMPTIA does test you on VLAN, Wireless LAN, & DSL. This Meyers' book did not cover these materials well or at all.Overall, this book is not as good as his other book on A+.

5.0 out of 5 stars
He does it again!,
By jack k "jk_trip" (vancouver bc) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Network+ Certification All-in-One Exam Guide, Second Edition (Hardcover)
Man, I wish all books for certification were written like this. Again, extremely informative and it challenges you to think of real world scenarios related to networking. Also, he throws in little tricks throughout that will aid you in troubleshooting and configuration. Can't wait to his next book. This is a guy who really knows his stuff and is not afraid to share it. Finally, the OSI model is explained in an interesting and easy to understand model. Hats off to you Mike you have done it again! I have not written the test yet but the book follows the objectives of 2002 exam and I am sure there will be no surprises when exam time comes.
