 Good subnetting exercises and wild card mask on ACL's August 12, 2008
Michael Park (Denver Colorado)
Very good on subnetting and ACL's. Had to use another book to understand VLSM's and NAT's. Didn't include a simulator wereas another book did. So if you have access to the actual equipment or a good simulator I would recommend this book. I wouldn't have passed the test without the practice of a simulator.
 Typical Sybex Editing... August 9, 2008
Damian L. Langley
When looking for a new 640-802 book I did everything in my power to avoid Sybex. Unfortunately I was deceived- usually there is a nice large logo to warn you, but on on this cover you should notice they shrunk it and placed it at the bottom of the cover. Perhaps they are ashamed of their own name? They should be anyway; these books (this one included) are full of errors and ill-written descriptions/examples.
[As someone who is quite sure of his knowledge concerning ethernet networking, I found myself quite perplexed in being told 802.3 was only good for proprietary networks. I suppose Mr. Lammle has never heard of 802.3x?]
Instead of paying a proper editor or perhaps a few guinea pigs before publishing, Sybex actually expects you to call them and tell them what to fix. Quite fankly I don't enjoy paying for "professional" level literature and then being asked to correct it. After all I'm not getting any of the money am I?
You might read, "All technical books have errors," but quite frankly there is no excuse. If you are being asked to pay $49.99 (cover) for a technical reference, especially one that has sold "more than Cisco Press," you should feel some amount of assurance towards its quality.
This is simply not a good way to head into a $250 exam. Demand more.
 Beware - not a complete resource!!! August 8, 2008
Vlad Preoteasa (NJ United States)
I used a previous version of this book to pass the CCNA exam in 2002. It was the only resource I used.
I felt that I could do the same with this book, but this was not so. I've now failed the exam twice (749 and 801) even after supplementing my learning with the free Cisco Learning Network online resource (which I highly recommend).
This book is riddled with grammatical and technical errors. This creates confusion, especially with all the conceptual information to be retained. There's not much help on lammle.com either (as the book would have you believe). Combine this with Cisco's ambiguous testing philosophy and the amount of memorization it takes to do well and you face a very tough testing environment.
I'm an IT professional with over 6 years of Cisco experience. I routinely configure Catalyst switches (4006, 4507) and routers (2600, 3600). I love technology and am not new to working with it. I'm confident that I'll pass this exam, but it's going to take more than reading this book to do it.
It's a decent book, but beware. I feel that these raving reviews are products of bias and disproportionally weighted.
Thanks for reading this and good luck with your CCNA pursuits.

Awesome book for anyone that actually wants to pass the CCNA. Its a hard test and this book gives you exactly what you need to pass. Labs are great and prepare you well for the exam. Practice tests are right on as well! Don't make the mistake of another book, get this one!
