CCENT/CCNA ICND1 100105 Official Cert Guide 9781587205804 Computer Science Books Reviews

• Using this book, I passed the ICND1 exam in August 2018. My description here on out entails what it took to get a passing grade. A brief background of myself, I have a college degree in IT, I’ve been a NOC Tech at a telecom company, primarily dealing with physical layer WAN issues. Then I moved to a simpler networking job of strictly monitoring for network outages, no configurations necessary. I also have CompTIAs holy trinity of certs, Net+, A+, and Sec+, but they are all the GFL versions. With that said, I have practically no work experience with configuring Cisco routers and switches.
  
  I started studying for the exam at the beginning of May 2018, using this book as my sole resource at first. This book includes practice questions via the included CD, however, if you create an account and register this book online, you will have access to those same practice questions via a web browser. I ultimately used the online version rather than the PC software as I found it more convenient to do so when I had spare time at work or when I’m out and about with time to kill. The book does read a bit dry, but in my experience, most technical manuals are like that, and trust me, I’ve ran into some snore fest books which would put this one to shame. I actually finished reading this book by mid July, though I had re-read many chapters to try to ingrain the multitude of information into my head. In a way, I may have read this book twice by going on page counts alone.
  
  Due to not having a strong grasp of the concepts after a first read through, I spent extra time on the following topics VLANs, router-on-a-stick configurations, DHCP, NAT, and ACLs. The topics pertaining to IPv4 and IPv6 were areas the book didn’t seem to convey a lot to my memory, or perhaps I felt I needed to see other resources to get a better grasp of breaking down subnets and such. Google is your friend, as I was able to find a plethora of topics regarding IPv4 and IPv6. In particular, I studied IPv4 to an extent where it was like second nature on how to break an IPv4 address down just by looking at it. Google “subnetting practice”.
  
  The book includes a discount coupon code for Pearson Network Simulator software. I purchased it at a reasonable price in my opinion. The labs certainly helped a lot, and I’d highly recommend you purchasing the labs if saving money is of high concern for you, as it was for me. I was worried at first that I’d have to spend several hundred dollars on hardware to do lab work, which is of the utmost importance, luckily, the Network Simulator helped keep costs down, for now at least. Just keep in mind, that the labs are hard coded, meaning legit commands on the Cisco CLI may not work in a particular lab because that lab is not coded for those specific commands. You are also not building custom networks using this simulator. I think of these labs as more like a repetitive drilling tool for learning CLI commands, as such it’s a great tool for a beginner such as myself.
  
  A month before the exam, I found and installed GNS3 on an Ubuntu partition (it’s free!). Don’t bother installing GNS3 on windows, it’s a pain in the... In any case, Google is your friend again, so I recommend for you to seek this tool out for your own learning experience. With GNS3, I was able to freely configure many situations represented in the book, by not only doing it on a lab like basis, but stringing together different configs together in one big network using the book as a reference and the commands I learned from the Pearson Network Simulator labs.
  
  As mentioned earlier, I was using the included practice tests for my studies, but as with any practice test, you start memorizing answers when you do them repetively. I searched the interwebs and found Boson Exam Simulator as a highly recommended test software for the ICND1. It is pricey though, but I was able to catch a summer sale they were having. I’d have to stress, that using practice exams are very important before taking the test, at least for me, it puts me in a test taking mindset before the real deal.
  
  I’ve also found a great video series on YouTube regarding CCENT. I used it as a refresher of Cisco concepts in-between labing and test practices as my exam date neared. Do a search, I just looked for more recent videos regarding CCENT.
  
  After all my preparations, looking back at the ICND1 exam, there were a few topics on the exam which I was near clueless on answering. Thus, I could not imagine someone just using this book only for study and passing the ICND1 successfully. The author does mention for you, as the reader, to seek out other resources, and it is indeed good advice to do so. Time wise, I started preparing for the exam at a snails pace, and ended at a sprint, where I was studying up to 4-6 hours a day for the last two weeks before judgement day.
  
  TLDR—Ultimately I think this book is a great resource to base your studies around, but it is imperative for you to seek out other sources for self study. Read (this book), lab (Network Sims), watch (YouTube), and practice tests (Boson), then you’ll set yourself up for success, at least for me it did.
• I had to delete childhood memories to learn what was in this book. I passed though.
• The Good
  Content If you have just finished Cisco's Networking Academy and are preparing for the test, you need this book! As many of you NetAcad students already know, the NetAcad material can be long winded and dry. The Official Cert Guide is SO refreshing after NetAcad. The content of this book is clear and concise. A topic that would take 100 pages to explain in Net Acad is explained in 20-30 pages in the Official Cert Guide. I sometimes wonder how Wendell Odom does it. How does he compress all that content into just 20-30 pages?!
  
  Simlite The free version of the simulator that comes with this book is great as well. It focuses mostly on part 2 of the book. One thing that I enjoyed about it is that it supports the show interfaces status command (a command that is not supported in Packet Tracer). At the time of this review, the full simulator is not out (I would buy it if it was). When it does come out, I'd definitely recommend buying it if you want structured labs that go along with the book. The other (more expensive) alternative to buying the simulator is buying real lab equipment. If you plan on just taking the CCNA, then I recommend 3 x 1841 routers (about $65 each) and 2 x 2960 switches (about $75 each). If you plan on also studying the CCNP then 3 x 2811 routers (about $85 each), 2 x 3560's (about $90 each) and 2 x 2960's will work.
  
  Pictures, Examples, Config Checklists This book has a lot of pictures (yay pictures!) to help you visualize what the network is doing and how everything is connected together. The pictures really help to solidify the information. The pictures are usually accompanied by examples of how the devices in the picture are configured. Again, this helps reinforce and solidify the concepts. Finally, the Config Checklists make labbing the material SOOO easy. They explain step-by-step what to do to configure a protocol, security, etc. Don't be intimidated by the size of this book! There are A LOT of pictures, examples, and config checklists that take up A LOT of pages.
  
  The bad
  1. Errors Okay there are a couple of errors (literally 2) that I've found while reading and fact checking this book along with the NetAcad materials. One is in figure 22-5. I won't mention what it is so that you can try to use what you've learned to discover the problem. The other is in table 6-4. The prompt that you see after entering the vlan global configuration command should be (config-vlan)# rather than hostname(vlan)# prompt as listed in the table. The hostname(vlan)# command was the prompt that was used with the legacy method for configuring methods. Also, the errors are so small in significance that it shouldn't dissuade you from buying the book.
  
  Conclusion
  This book is definitely worth the money. It covers the information needed for the exam and I definitely recommend it for anyone who has just finished NetAcad. There are a couple (literally 2!!) of MINOR errors, but they aren't significant enough to not buy the book.
  
  *Disclaimer I have not taken the test yet, but will take it in about a month. This review is based on my first read through of the book. I will update this review when I pass the exam.
• While the book is full of good information the way its written is going to be tough for some individuals to grasp. The author definitely does not have a way with words. I did find that some of the graphic figures made no sense unless you repeatedly read the description over and over. Maybe the author needs to take some writing classes? Id say the book is full of a lot of clutter as well. Some things just need to be straight to the point. CBT nuggets was a better investment.
• I've tried multiple times to study for the ICND1 and ICND2. Everyone always says that Odom can be dry sometimes. I regret that I didn't pick up this book sooner! I've learned more from the way Odom presents this stuff than any other book!
  
  Trust in Odom.
• The absolute necessary guide to studying for the newest CCNA/CCENT Exam. All of the needed material is in the chapters and is also within the disk that it comes with. If you are interested, CISCO also has some online labs that pair well with studying.
• Content is great, but the author is wordy. The explanation of details and concepts is great, but when the concept has been fully described I belive that it should be left as is.
• I just recently downloaded the kindle edition of Wendell Odom's ICND1 100-105 but all the figures and tables are empty.
  This is really frustrating because I cannot read the book properly.
  
  I downloaded the kindle edition to save money but ended up feeling cheated.
