General CCNA questions + need book!!
|
|
|
| Hi,
im about to finish my N+, and move on to CISCO instead of my planned MCSE route because i met a friend who is a CCIE who is willing to help me out. He is willing at the very least to answer any questions i have, and at the most to mentor me thru the CC's (NA, NP, DA, DP, IE, etc). we even have a test network with a CISCO router set up. i will be going with him to lay cable and configure when he is consulting. Im choosing this over microsoft because of this incredible opportunity to work next to a CCIE, and learn as much as i can. im sick of small business consulting/desktop support/help desk crap jobs that i have held for the last 5 years, its time to move forward or be left behind. do you think this is a good way to go?
what do i ultimately want to do with all these CISCO certs?? design and implement networks, security consulting and IPv6 conversion when the time comes.
What i need from you nice folks is a good CCNA (maybe even CCNP, CCDA, CCDP) book recommendation... that would be most helpful. I feel this would be a good start.
thanks for your time,

| Well you are one lucky dude to have a mentor who is experience and well qualified guiding you along the Cisco Cert. path.
Personally I like to use 2 or 3 different study materials instead of only one.I do this b-cause one book might not cover certain topic like the 2nd or 3rd book did etc. etc.
As for CCNA books,Sybex books(Todd Lammle) is always good but it lacks in-depth info and that is where Cisco Press (Wendell Odom) book will complement the Sybex books.It covers detailed info(sometimes More)than what Sybex did.Give this 2 books a look.
Another thing always read the exam objectives b-4 buying any books or book for and exam of even b-4 starting to study about the exams
Hope tis helps~~~
Cheers~~~~ |
