Cisco dominates the internetworking scene with an over 80 percent share of the routers used on the Internet. The mid-level Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) certification validates advanced knowledge of Cisco-based networks. The Remote Access exam (640-605) is one of the four core exams that cover a wide range of topics, including installing, configuring, and operating LAN, WAN, and dial-up access services for organizations with mid-to-large sized networks. Cisco recently "refreshed" the four CCNP exams, adding new questions and question formats to the pool. The exam objectives have not changed.

This review is from: CCNP Remote Access Study Guide, Exam 640-605 (Hardcover)

Todd Lammle did wonders with the CCNA study guide, and if your studying for the CCNA his book is the only one you need. This one how ever needs proof reading and accuracy on his part. The included "simulated review questions" which we all are looking for are a JOKE. 8 questions are all you get (even though you get to do it on two separate simulated routers..oh joy!).The review questions on the CD are not in-line with what you read. Use this and something else if you really want to pass the exam...I plan too.
It may be DDDRRRYYY reading, but try a book from CISCO press
