Excellent Library for ASPIRING individuals
This library is good for those who are just starting their journey for Cisco certification. They will find these books quite useful. More over this library serves those who are interested in self study. Even though there are plenty of books available for CCNA I found this as the best among them for the beginners and self motivated personals. This library come with two books titled ICDN1 & 2. ICDN1 deals with the knowledge needed for configuring Cisco Switches and routers. SDM is the quite interesting part of this book. ICDN 2 provides the knowledge required to operate, configure and trouble shoot a mid size network. Deals with WAN, OSPF, Access Lists, NAT, IPv6, VPN. The uniqueness of this library is the concept summary within each chapter, along with usual chapter ending summary. This concept summary seems to more useful to understand the concept and easy remember. The questions and answer section is as usual good for CCNA. The Library had lined up well with the exam topics covered for new CCNA 640-802 found in Cisco Web site. The Library provides a solid knowledge base for the aspiring individuals. The reference provided is found to very useful. I would recommend this Library to be in each individual who is looking forward for CCNA. If you could manage to make use of CCNA Prep Centre along with this study guide for sure no body can stop you from obtain CCNA at first take. The CCNA prep Center has plenty of useful web cast, practice labs, question of the week etc. Overall these library deservers more than 5 stars but I would go with 5 stars. An excellent study guide for CCNA. The author has done a great job. Hats off to Steve McQuerry.

A Solid Place to Start Your CCNA Preparation
Those just starting out on their Cisco certification journey will find these books to be quite helpful. They covered the basic theories well such as the OSI model, IP addressing and network topologies. Additionally, these theories were applied using various examples taken from network design, router and switch configurations, and troubleshooting some of the more common problems that can occur on a day to day basis. One significant difference in these books from past study guides that I've read, is the concept summary within each chapter. In addition to the usual chapter ending summary, there are what I would I call concept summaries. After each new concept there was a brief summary, which I found made the chapter as a whole easier to digest. There are plenty of examples to reinforce the theory including photos of equipment. The books lined up well with the exam topics found on Cisco's web site. I feel that the material provides a solid beginning to anyone's CCNA preparation. Even though the section on the SDM utility was adequate, the SDM utility is really something that you really need to use to fully understand. The books were a bit light on lab examples, so I would recommend additional material as well as actual hands on lab time. However, these books combined with the current version of the CCNA Exam Guide, will provide a solid base of knowledge to take the CCNA exam. The only thing that I would like to see differently would be the addition of a 'recommended reading' section. I always found those additional references to be helpful. The most significant source for more information would of course be Cisco's web site. Cisco has developed a CCNA Prep Center. The site has plenty of web casts, practice labs and practice questions. The site is free, you just have to register.
