5.0 out of 5 stars
Passed the Support exam, the hardest exam in the CCNP series,
By "scottbr" (San Diego) - See all my reviews
This review is from: CCNP Support Study Guide Exam 640-506 (With CD-ROM) (Hardcover)
This has got to be the hardest exam in the CCNP series. I was sweating bullets. I am thankful for this book, as it did prepare me, but you really have to study hard to pass this exam. If it wasn't for this book, I would have failed for sure, but I did get a 890, which is awesome for this exam. This exam hits hard on ISDN troublshooting. Read the ISDN chapter in this book at least twice before taking the exam. You'll pass, but you have to do some work too! Good luck

Sufficient if you are experienced,
By A Customer
This review is from: CCNP Support Study Guide Exam 640-506 (With CD-ROM) (Hardcover)
This book is a poor to fair study tool for those of you preparing for the CCNP Support examination. Although I have a good amount of experience with Cisco routers I have very limited experience with Cisco switches and RAS solutions. Depending on the amount of the experience you have this book may or may not be enough to prepare you for the exam. I normally expect study guides such as this one to assist me in overcoming the areas I am weak in, but this study guide does not do that.In general the text is technically correct; however, it does not explore several important topics, such as Cisco NMS and support options, in sufficient detail and it is poorly organized. There were several topic areas on the exam, Token Ring is the best example, that I was totally unprepared for. The text does provide an overview of Token Ring operation and offers two examples of Token Ring network troubleshooting but does absolutely nothing to prepare you with the knowledge you will need to correctly answer the Token Ring questions on the test. Overall my satisfaction level with the Sybex series of study guides for the CCNP exams is fairly low. For the next Cisco exam I take I plan on purchasing one of the Cisco texts. PJZ

A fine book,
By A Customer
This review is from: CCNP Support Study Guide Exam 640-506 (With CD-ROM) (Hardcover)
This is a good book with a lot of relevant information; I definitely recommend it to others. However, it does have a few errors and the sample questions are not as difficult at the actual exam. I found that the exam itself was poorly worded and confusing. It seems weird to fault the book for having better grammar and logic in their sample questions then the actual test...but, whoever said life was fair.
