Minimal Fluff. Clear and concise explanations, very good examples. I used the book to study for the ONT exam, which I successfully completed. There are a few methods that are covered and all I was interested in was, what the methods are, why were they developed, when to use them and how. The book proved to be right on the money. I would recommend this book as a Reference source as well.

Personally, I wish they would write technical books in this fashion using the following headings: Method, Why developed/Issues addressed, When to use and How.

Just forget all the fluff and get down to the Nitty Gritty.

This book is barely sufficient to be used as a single source to study from. If that's what you're looking for, you had better know some or most of the content already. If you'll need a lot of detail and examples to pass the ONT test, this book should be considered along with another one. I passed the test using only this book, but it was tough.

Pretty good book but..... - 2009-09-14

Chalk it up to user preference but for an official publication, I think I needed a little more than this book for the exam. It's a great reference work to use and to have beyond simply passing the exam. Covers most if not all areas of expertise required in supporting Cisco networks. More examination questions on the included CD would be nice along with exam simulations.

One of the better Cisco Press Exam Guides - 2009-03-29

This is one of the few Exam Certification Guides I'd say is enough to pass with, if it's the only thing you have to study with. It does a very good job of covering the exam. There are times (Chapter 7 in particular) where I wanted to strangle the author, as he kept repeating the same things. The book is very thin compared to the other CCNP Official Exam Cert guides, so there may have been some padding involved.

Regardless, the box is a good solid core. Combine it with some good test prep software like Transcender, and you should easily pass ONT

This book is the only study material you will need to get you by with a passing score on the ONT exam. However, you will want to try to get your hands on the SDM which can be done with any newer router providing those flash files are installed. Pay attention to the print screens on the WLC and WLSE as you most likely will not be able to get your hands on those. The book is concise,(300 pp) to the point, slightly ardous, but all business. Probably the best choice for re-cert as the more recent CCNP course material is covered- most notably VOIP topology basics and Wireless Security strategies. Voip knowledge and experience seems to be increasingly in demand in the recent job markets.
