CCNA Routing and Switching 200-125: Official Cert Guide Box Pck Wi Edition

Great book! Very well written. The books are large but they way that they've devided chapters into parts makes this easy to digest. You can "do i know this already quizzes" at the beginning of each chapter to determine the amount of time you need to spend reading the chapter or skipping over it if need be. This allows you learn what you don't know and sharpen what you already know? i've already been able to either test out of chapters or skim over them. The books are literally designed to help ensure good study habits and build crucial skills needed to pass the exams and apply skills learned to real life. I can't put this book down it's that good! However....I feel like this product over hypes the labs...they are about worthless. The book set deserves 5 stars. The labs are less than stellar. I would suggest looking of CCNA work book and getting a free version of packet tracer. Combined with those you'll be able to get more from the book than just the lite versions of the labs I suspect.

Great Study Material. I really recommend using packet tracer, Udemy videos , Todd lammle ccna study guide and boson software to practice for the exam!!!! With all these materials I was able to pass the ccna composite with 920. NOO It wasn’t easy!! It took me around 6 months of staying up late night studying and waking up in the mornings to do it again, after I passed the ccna exam I felt very confident about the material and applied for jobs like crazy after about another month or 2 I was finally able to land a contract job as an entry level network admin making $17.50 hr. Next month my contract will be up and I already have another company that wants to hire me full time with great benefits and with almost double the pay from my previous job. Life is great. In less than 2 years I went from dead-end warehouse jobs making minimum to a network admin position making over $20 hr. This has given me the privilege to not only pay my moms house off for Christmas but to also completely pay for my college and buy myself a new Jeep Wrangler. Now I’m just saving to buy a house. If I can do it there shouldn’t be any reason why you can’t. #knowledgeISpower #CEH UP NEXT

I can't believe I'm writing a good review for this book. After enjoying reading/studying Lammle's ICND1. Lammle's writing style is active, direct to the point; making the book easy to read. Contrast to Odom's ICND1's writing style which is passive, and some topic's explanations are repetitious. Lammle explains a topic in 1 page while Odom takes 2 to 4 pages (average).However, as for ICND2 books comparison (Lammle vs Odom). Odom's ICND2 book is more superior than Lammle's ICND2 book. I bought Odom's book first. Being spoiled with Lammle's writing style, it was hard for me to read the first chapter of Odom's book. I would get frustrated with Odom's repetitious writing style that I would get a mild headache. So, I decided to buy Lammle's book. Lammle's ICND2 book has the same good writing style, however, it has half less pages than Odom's book. I decided to give Odom's book another try. However, this time around, I started reading last 3 chapters of the book. The last chapters was written more active than the first chapter. After reading the last chapters, I got accustomed to Odom's writing style. So, I flipped the book and started reading the first chapter with no problem. Now, while I'm writing this review I'm on chapter 7. Additionally, Odom's book have more topic explanations than Lammle's.

This was an outstanding guide for adding to the information presenting in the CCENT book. I bought both together and being able to swap back and forth between the two books based on Foundation Topics is crucial to understanding how the author writes.Even after using Cisco devices for over 4 years, this book explained the topics and ideas that I have not had to learn, but needed to know for the exam. This author writes in a very logical and well thought out manner that may appear as "dry" to some. That being said, there is not nad information in this guide and can be essential to helping anyone pass the ICND 2 exam, as long as they follow along with the diagrams and really apply themselves to the virtual trainers.

After reading some of these reviews, I got a bit concerned, but the Official Cert Guide (OCG) had gotten me through ICND1 all by itself with no problems. Unfortunately, after using this 200-105 book as the primary source of my study (with about a month's worth of Cisco Learning Network labs thrown in), I did not pass the ICND2 (got 790). As usual, I had studied so much that was not on the test, and there were plenty of tricky questions. The more important point is that there was definitely stuff on the test I had never seen before -- was not covered in the OCG. With the test still very fresh in my mind, I picked up a copy of the Lammle CCNA INCD2 Study Guide, and I clearly saw material covered that was on my test but not covered in the OCG. I went through over 500 of the OCG practice test questions -- spent hours and hours worrying about root bridge STP concepts and had zero of those questions on the test.Bottom line -- this book is not enough by itself. I recommend the Lammle book. It is much, much more concise, and somehow it seems to know better what is important for the test. Hopefully with both of these sources under my belt, I will pass the second time around.Update: Well, I did barely manage to pass the second time around (took test as soon as possible after 1st failure). I spent a week using the Lammle study guide, and it really helped. Unfortunately, there is just too much material on these tests. There were still things on the test not covered by either book. Good luck to you all.

Includes over 2000 pages between two books! All i can say is its very boring but yet kind of interesting if you already have a general knowledge of the field or currently work in it. Well Written and certainly not as difficult to read as a text book could be. If you have NO prior knowledge of networking go online and watch a FREE networking course first before buying or youll be lost! Last but not least a MUST HAVE for the CCNA Certification (if you think you dont need this book to study for the CCENT/CCNA exam your wrong! You do)

Really advised.For those who planning to study only by using videos (as Jeremy Ciora on CBT or similar) be careful since most of the videos do give you the whole easy understanding, general understanding of things, but they do not enter too deeply into the subjects. Wendell Odom (the author of those two books) going step-by-step and entering into the necessary level of CCNA knowledge at each chapter. And actually by taking the academical study approach (lecture + book + taking notes + practice) = you`ll have more chance of exam success.Easy to read, easy to understand. You also get an exam prep questions simulator and labs app from pearson with those books. For additional 11 CAD you could get electronic version of this book (find the deal with the CD inside the book) and could get additional labs and exam prep questions simulator.Also Odom provides additional stuff like mind maps for the discussed chapters (added with CD or you could download it), each chapter key points review, about 12 videos for some topics etc..Really cool set of those two books.The best advise: to have the mix of Jeremy Ciora videos (from CBT) + reading the both books of Wendell Odom.** The videos of Jeremy Ciora for CCNA could be the old ones from 2007, finding them better and easier to digest - it is sufficient for global understanding of how things works. All the other "new" tech the book will cover more than enough.Good luck! )

Anglais simple et compréhensible. On y trouve toutes les réponses nécessaires à l'examen ( Cependant, la lecture seule des Guides de Certification Cisco ne suffisent pas, il faut également pratiquer et faire des labs Packet Tracer voire GNS3).De la même série, j'ai passé le CCENT et le CCNA R&S.

Excelente (guia de referência e de estudos) tanto para quem já trabalha na área quanto (e principalmente) para quem busca certificação CCNA. A AMAZON também superou todas as minhas expectativas em tudo! Preços dos itens que comprei bem abaixo do valor que "as outras livrarias" cobram, rapidez e praticidade para a realização da compra online, embalagem do produto impecável (sério mesmo! uma caixa com a logomarca da Amazon muito bem embalada e os livros super protegidos em seu interior). O único ponto que não aprovei foi a NF com os meus dados expostos (Nome, CPF, Telefone e endereço à mostra, que aliás, gostaria de sugerir que a NF fosse entregue no interior da embalagem, ou disposta de forma discreta para evitar transtornos com os nomes dos Clientes, afinal, isso aqui é "Brasil"...). Mas, de verdade, o que me surpreendeu foi a RAPIDEZ na entrega. Realizei a compra no dia 03/06 à tarde, e a entrega foi realizada no dia 05/06. Realmente muito rápido para os padrões brasileiros, se é que vocês me entendem...Com toda certeza voltarei a comprar pela Amazon! A equipe realmente está de parabéns!

Son los tomos perfectos para pasar la certificación de CCNA. Muchas explicaciones detalladas. Muy contento con la compra. Buen material de referencia. Incluye buena aplicación en CD's con distintos test y videos.

A useful study book for CCNA certification, explanation was very clear and easy to understand, comes with simulator and practice test that boost your knowledge
