The Ccie Study Guide

An undeniably complex and difficult process, passing tests for the Cisco Certified Internetworking Expert (CCIE) certification requires unparalleled, in-depth knowledge. In The Cisco CCIE Study Guide, Roosevelt Giles provides you with help on the five test-subject areas (three are needed to pass, along with a lab test, which the book does not cover). By covering the broad strokes of networking and the dauntingly obscure details of many network protocols, Giles comprehensively explains Cisco technology. The chapters are organized around networking topics such as TCP/IP, data link switching, asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), and Novell NetWare. Each chapter concludes with a set of sample questions. You may find that you disagree with the answers to the questions given at the back of the book, but keep in mind that the tests reflect Cisco's viewpoint on all the technology.

The included CD-ROM contains sample code for many examples in the book and additional sample questions. For anyone preparing for the written tests for the CCIE, this book is guaranteed to be a big help. --Robert Frankland
