5.0 out of 5 stars As good as you can get for a dry subject, March 26, 2006

By	Basset Hound "BIG DOGY" (Virginia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: CCNA Portable Command Guide (Paperback)

This is one of the better study aids, but as with all study aids it is boring to read. It may just be me, but I hate to read anything like this, but I have to keep my certs. It is up to date with the latest verion of the test and very informative. It will make a great companion to use along side the bigger complete CCNA test prep books and also to use in the field when you need to remember those odd commands.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book if you don't already have a CCNA., January 10, 2007

This review is from: CCNA Portable Command Guide (Paperback)

I would have loved this book while I was still studying for my CCNA. I grabbed this, because I thought it would be like a command dictionary. It's more of a step-by-step for beginners. I would Cisco made a CCNP portable command guide.
