In what began as a way to ensure that its resellers could also properly support its products, Cisco Systems, Inc. developed what has become the most sought after and prestigious networking certification series available. To hold any Cisco certification indicates that you know your stuff regarding networking at a certain level. The exams developed to screen certification candidates are rigorous and downright hard. The result is that even the most knowledgeable and experienced Cisco networking professional needs at least a little help getting ready for the
CCNA exam. The sole purpose of this
book is to help you to shorten your preparation time for the
CCNA exam. As with all other For Dummies
books, this
book is a no−nonsense reference and study guide. It focuses on the areas that are likely to be on the exam, plus it provides a little background information here and there to help you understand some of the more complex concepts and technologies. This
book presents the facts, concepts, processes, and applications included on the exams in step−by−step lists, tables, and figures without long explanations. The
book focuses on preparing you for the
CCNA exams, not on showing off our obviously extensive and impressive knowledge of networking and its related technologies (nor our modesty, I might add).
