Organized by exam objectives, this is a focused, concise review guide that works hand-in-hand with any learning tool, including the Sybex CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate Study Guide, 6th and Deluxe editions.
The book will consist of four high-level chapters, each mapping to the four main Domains of the exam skill-set. The book will drill down into the specifics of the exam, covering the following:
* Designing Cisco internetworks
* Developing an access list
* Evaluating TCP/IP communication
* Configuring routers and switches
* Configuring IP addresses, subnet masks, and gateway addresses
* Performing LAN, VLAN, and WAN troubleshooting
* Understanding rules for packet control
The interactive CD contains two bonus exams, handy flashcard questions, and a searchable PDF of a Glossary of Terms.
