Good CCNA Reference, with a few Editing Issues
As a CCIE and full time instructor of Cisco courses, Im periodically asked by my students for recommendations of study resources beyond whats received in the classroom. My hope is that my review of this title will provide you with some insight into the pros and cons of Todd Lammles Cisco Certified Network Associate Study Guide, Sixth Edition. As stated on the book cover, this study guide is intended to prepare the reader for exam 640-802.

Positive Aspects: -The book presents Ciscos published 640-802 exam objectives and identifies the chapter(s) in the book that address(es) each objective. -Todd Lammles writing style keeps the reading lively. Specifically, his writing is very conversational, is often written in the first person, and includes more exclamation points than Ive ever seen in a technical book :-) -Some of the tips given by Mr. Lammle certainly reflect his experience. He points out tips and tricks which prove to me that he was not merely rewording content from other sources. -Mr. Lammle gives clear, but concise, descriptions of the myriad of technologies covered by the CCNA exam. -The book presented several lab exercises which readers could perform on home lab equipment.

Negative Aspects: -The book appears not to have received a sufficient technical edit. As an example, Page 116 discusses CIDR. However, CIDR (the supernetting of contiguous classful address spaces) is incorrectly defined, where it sounds more like VLSM. -The book contains multiple typographical and topological errors and/or inconsistencies. As one example, Page 408 shows a WAN link icon connecting into a FastEthernet interface. -The audio and video content on the CD seem to have been created for the previous exam, 640-801, even though the cover of the book states the book is targeted towards exam 640-802. Specifically, the copyright date of 2006 on the video predates the 640-802 exam, and the audio content repeatedly states that it is for exam 640-801. While the audio and video still contain relevant information, it was disappointing that no attempt was made to update it to address the current exam. -The Glossary also seemed to have been reused from a previous book. Specifically, there were multiple references to ATM LANE (LAN Emulation) terms, which are not discussed in the book, and they are not relevant for the CCNA exam.

To summarize, Todd Lammles Cisco Certified Network Associate Study Guide can serve as a valuable study aid for readers pursuing CCNA certification. While its not without its blemishes, the good outweighs the bad, and therefore is deserving of five stars.

Too Much fluff
I'm currently working on recertifying my ccna and thought this book may be a change of pace from the usual Cisco Press books. However, this book is written with too much fluff and statements such as "this is the really cool part". To be honest I want the details and can do without the fluff.

If this is your first try at the CCNA perhaps this is an ok book. Other than that Ill be using it to fuel my fireplace.
