Caveat Emptor. Quick and dirty review after taking the test.
With all due respect to the author(s), I do not recommend the Sybex book
mentioned below for use to study the 640-025 test.
The book is deficient in the areas of X.25, SNA, Campus Lan Design,
Desktop Protocol Design, Wan Design and especially security. I do
recommend the Cisco Press book because all of the areas that I was tested
over are adequately covered and in greater detail. This is the second Sybex
book that I have purchased that is inadequate. I found Sybex is good for
Microsoft and Novell but so far it is a batting a zero for Cisco.
Additionally, the Boson tests lack in the correct content.
Recommendation. Unless you must pass the 640-025 test soon, I would wait
until the self study material catches up with the new CID test. Until then
make sure that you buy the Cisco Press book *Cisco Internetwork Design* by
Matthew Birkner and make you own study questions via the program at
www.openwindow.com. The attached links will help you with your studies over
SNA. There are probably more and better links but these are the ones that I
have found so far.
Good Luck,
John Huston
