Product Description

CCNA Official Exam Certification Library, Third Edition, is the newest edition of the all-time best-selling CCNA self-study preparation package. This comprehensive review and practice package is designed for the latest CCNA 640-802 exams. The two books contained in this package, CCENT/CCNA ICND1 Official Exam Certification Guide, Second Edition, and CCNA ICND2 Official Exam Certification Guide, Second Edition, present complete reviews and a more challenging and realistic preparation experience. The books are updated to cover all the new 640-802 exam objectives, such as security, wireless, IPv6, and troubleshooting.

Please note that while this is the Third Edition of the Library, the two books inside are Second Editions. This is correct, and the editions align differently because of changes in the names of the exams, from the old INTRO and ICND to the new ICND1 and ICND2 formats.

What can you do with the CCNA Official Exam Certification Library?

  • Assess your knowledge with chapter-opening quizzes
  • Review key concepts with Exam Preparation Tasks
  • Practice with hundreds of exam questions on the CD-ROM
  • Learn about more complex topics with over one hour of video training

CCNA Official Exam Certification Library, Third Edition, presents you with an organized test preparation routine through the use of proven series elements and techniques. “Do I Know This Already” quizzes open each chapter and allow you to decide how much time you need to spend on each section. Chapter ending Exam Preparation Tasks sections help drill you on key concepts you must know thoroughly and help increase your speed in answering questions, a difficult hurdle many candidates face on the new exams. Final Preparation chapters guide you through tools and resources to help you craft your final study plan. Special troubleshooting sections help you master the complex scenarios you will face on the exam.

The companion CD-ROMs contain a powerful testing engine with over 400 questions that allow you to focus on individual topic areas or take complete, timed exams. The test engine also includes simulation and testlet questions, and all questions are available in study mode and test mode. The assessment engine also tracks your performance and provides feedback on a chapter-by-chapter basis, presenting question-by-question remediation to the text.

The bonus DVDs contain more than 60 minutes of personal video mentoring from the author focused mainly on the topic of subnetting. These videos help bring difficult subnetting concepts to life and make learning easy.

Well-regarded for its level of detail, assessment features, and challenging practice questions, this completely revised and updated edition provides you with more detailed information and more realistic practice exercises than any other CCNA study guide, enabling you to succeed on the exam the first time.

Best-selling author and senior instructor Wendell Odom shares preparation hints and test-taking tips, helping you to identify areas requiring further study and to improve your conceptual and hands-on knowledge. The material is presented in a concise manner, focusing on increasing your understanding of exam topics and preparing you for the numerous challenges the exams present.

These official study guides help you master all the topics on the CCNA exams, including:

  • TCP/IP and OSI networking models
  • Operating Cisco routers and LAN switches
  • Ethernet switch configuration and troubleshooting
  • Virtual LANs and Spanning Tree Protocol
  • Wireless LANs
  • IP addressing and subnetting
  • Routing protocols
  • Router configuration and troubleshooting
  • Static and connected routes
  • VLSM and route summarization
  • IP access control lists
  • OSPF and EIGRP configuration
  • WAN configuration and troubleshooting
  • Frame Relay
  • Network Security and VPNs
  • NAT
  • IPv6
  • Troubleshooting

5 out of 5 stars Outstanding 640-802 learning resource!!!   November 26, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

These books are the best learning resources I've come across. After failing the 640-802 exam multiple times, I searched for a proper Cisco educational experience and found that these books delivered exactly what I was seeking. Prior to reading these books, I read Lammle's (Sybex) study guide and found it to be lacking the proper material coverage as well as being riddled with technical and grammatical errors. Odom's books offer much more detail and more importantly - Cisco's philosophy, which is a key and often overlooked component. I've since passed the exam and continue to use Odom's books; they're fantastic.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent Book to Study From   November 14, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Excellent Book to Study From. I must say, I read (honestly) books from other venders (read: Sybex) and none of the books prepared me better for the exam than good ol' Wendel.

Wendel writes from the heart and he is honest when it comes to material covered in the exam, at times he goes at length in the book and you may wonder why he does, but in the long run (read: the exam) it all makes sense.

I regret not reading this book before I wasted my time readiing Sybex's Todd Lammle's book. Trust me. I passed the exam on the first try!



1 out of 5 stars You've got to be kidding me.   November 2, 2008
 6 out of 8 found this review helpful

I'm weighing in here because I have to question the integrity of many of these "customer reviews". Take a good hard look at all the 5 star reviews and you will see a common thread - namely, they are not people looking to pass the CCNA. If you are like me, you have some working knowledge of networking and routing but much of the material will be new to you. You are not the Author's "Technical Reviewer" You are not a CCNA instructor. You are not someone who has read all the other author's books and came here to proclaim that he has "done it again." You are not a veteran of the industry who has nothing better to do than read 1200 pages of entry level material.

Here is how I describe this set. Get ready for hundreds of pages of this:

"Classful Routing: When a packet's destination only matches a router's default route, and does not match any other routes, only use the default route if this router does not know any routes in the classful network in which the destination IP address resides."

I hope my weighing in here helps because I think these other reviewers were here to help the author sell the book, not help you pass the CCNA.



5 out of 5 stars Enjoyable, well layed out   October 2, 2008

I plan to take a CCNA course next semester at the local community college and bought this book due to its good reviews. I have had exposure to these technologies throughout some courses that I have been currently taking so the subject matter was not new, but I did learn additional things. The book explains concepts in a way that is easy to understand.
Highly recommended!



5 out of 5 stars Very well written technical guide   September 13, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I read both of these books from front to back, while doing doing hands on practicing with Cisco gear. One thing I liked about these books is that I feel it gives you more than what you need to pass the exam, rather than the bare minimum. I did learn a good amount from reading these books, and I passed my CCNA the first time I took it earlier this week.

In order to pass the exam, I would recommend that you get hands on experience with Cisco routers and switches if possible. For those that don't have multiple routers at their disposal, GNS3 is a useful, free tool that allows you to test virtualized routers.

I've heard that the DVD that comes with the book has a good testing engine, although I didn't try it. I've been using the Transcenders practice exams for sometime, and I find them good because they seem harder than the actual exams.

I would definitely recommend these books. Good luck to you in your studies.
