Book Reviews of CCNA Portable Command Guide (2nd Edition)

Book Review: Great for Reference and Study
Summary: 5 Stars

I'm finishing up my CCNA studies through the Networking Academy program, and our instructor for the second part of the class strongly recommended this little book to us. At first, I was dubious--it's a 330 page paperback, retailing for $30 in stores. But when I started having some trouble with VLANs, I caved, and am I glad! This is the meat of the information from the two (four, if you're in Academy) big, bulky, heavy Self-Study and Exam Certification guides. It doesn't replace those, but for carrying around to study with, this is extremely useful.

It's the HOW-TO for everything you've learned. Note that it does not cover the WHYs and WHENs of anything. But it's all here. A hefty chapter on subnetting starts it out, covering several different methods. An appendix in the back covers binary/hex/decimal conversions, if that's troubling you. It reviews the differences between crossover and straight cables, and when to use each. Basic configurations, static routing and routing protocols, switching basics, VLANS, VTP, STP, and Router-on-a-Stick form the next two sections, 'Routing' and 'Switching.' Then comes a chapter on Wireless, exclusive to the Networking Academy program and very marketable, despite not being on the CCNA exam. Troubleshooting and general network administration are next. The last few sections deal with WANs: NAT and DHCP, IPv6, PPP and HDLC, Frame Relay, and the very evil Access Control Lists.

But there are also a few things that my classes never really covered. Cisco Discovery Protocol. Security Device Manager. Password recovery. Telnet, SSH, SNMP and Syslogs. System backups. And at the end, ten sheets of ruled paper and five more blank to add any information they left out.

And there are a few things. Redistribution, bane of the CCNA's existence, is not covered at all. There's no index (but an excellent Table of Contents and 'What do you want to do?' section). The print is small, maybe even a little more so than what you'd find in a usual paperback.

So tuck a magnifying glass in the back, write down the info on redistribution, and stick this book in your bag. It's a great study tool for the CCNA exam, a review for the CCNPs, and, I expect, extremely useful for the admin-on-the-job who already has a million things to remember. Use it, and love it, because it makes you not have to carry around the HUGE books.
