Utilize this guide to conquer the new CCENT / CCNA ICND1 Exams!
The CCENT / CCNA ICND1 Official Exam Certification Guide: Second Edition, by Wendell Odom is published by Cisco Press. This book offers the reader a comprehensive study guide to assist the candidate in preparing for the new CCENT exam, as well as for the CCNA certification. In June 2007, Cisco announced the Cisco Certified Entry Networking Technician (CCENT) certification to be the first entry-level Cisco certification that will be offered to computer professionals seeking Cisco credentials. The exam number is: ICND1 (640-822). The candidate can also elect to utilize this reference to study for the CCNA exam. Although the author has written other study guides that will go more in-depth on each specific objective for the CCNA certification, this book covers much of the material contained on the ICND1 exam. It is worthwhile to note that by passing the CCENT exam, the candidate will also have to pass the ICND2 test (640-816) in order to become a CCNA certified professional. This study guide focuses on the CCENT / CCNA ICND1 content. As in all of Mr. Odoms study guides and reference materials, the concepts are presented in a pyramid process. The objectives that are conveyed to the reader are the building blocks to the next chapter. The reader can skip chapters by taking the Do I Know This Already? Quiz. If the reader prefers, they can read through all the chapters and gain a full understanding of the content and take the quizzes at the end of each section. There are seven parts of the book, but only five of them are the main content of the book. The book starts with the basic networking fundamentals then quickly jumps into LAN switching, IP Routing, Wide-Area Networks and the last part is the Final preparation for the exam. The remaining two parts are the appendixes and the CD contents. The study guide contains two extremely useful compact discs that will enhance the readers experience and reinforce the study guides material. The first CD contains CCNA Subnetting presentations and a free video from the CCNA Video Mentor study resource. If you are interested in additional videos and subject matter, please refer to ISBN 1-58720-168-2, by Mr. Odom. The second CD in the book is one of the most comprehensive materials that I have seen thus far included in any study guide. The CD has the following contents: Cisco Press Support, Registration, and Updates; Exam engine; Electronic version of the Cisco Press book in PDF format, Printable appendices, Cisco Press Samples, and additional practice exams. Also, there is a binary game that the student can play to both entertain and enhance the readers knowledge. Overall, I found this certification guide one of the best that I have reviewed thus far. The CCENT, as well as, the CCNA candidate will find these resources extremely useful to both prepare and utilize as a reference for years to come. I give these materials 4 out of 5 stars.
