I have done a groupstudy archive search. It is well documented that
Top-Down Network Design is an excellent design guide and prep tool for CCDA.
In addition to this book, and work experience, what is recommended in
preparation for the CID exam?
Two recommendations from the archive were:
Internetwork Design Guide
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/cisintwk/idg4/
and
Online Course Material
