I have only done a cursory review, but from what I can tell their approach is perfect. The author goes through each technology and explains it with as few routers as necessary, then at the end are six full scale exam style labs. Really concise material without all the fluff.
I haven't had the chance to check for errors, but I have a good feeling about the quality of the material. This is just what the doctor ordered for prep work. As a gut check I looked up a couple of things that tripped me up on an exam and sure enough there they were fully explained with descriptions and configs. In my opinion this book should increase the pass rate. This book is the list of gothcas and how-to's I was creating myself, now it just has a pretty cover. Remember Cisco wants more people to pass the lab. These are only my preliminary observations. Take a look at the book and judge for yourself. -----Original Message----- From: juno vtv [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, December 27, 2001 6:01 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: CCIE Practical Studies by Cisco Press [7:30243] Jim, Does the book go in-depth with many different topics?
