Title: CCNP Support Exam Cram (Exam: 640-506) by Matthew Luallen ISBN: 1-57610-681-0 Publisher: The Coriolis Group Pub. Date: 26 May, 2000 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $29.99 |
Average Customer Rating: 3.5 (10 reviews)
Rating: 2
Summary: It's OK.
Comment: Remember that this is an "exam cram". It is a refresher for those that already know the material. As such, it is a good enough book.
If you don't already know the material or don't have at least a year of hands on experience, this book won't do the job.
If the book alone is applied to the test, the best that you can hope for would be 70%.
The book is mostly accurate, with few typos, but it does not cover everything.
Rating: 4
Summary: Really good test prep material
Comment: Purchased the book to help study for the CIT exam. Found it to be a very good book for studing the exam. There are a few mistakes and weak points in this book but over all it is a good review for the test. I do not think that there will be any 1 book out there that will prepare you for the CIT exam. You need a lot of practice and experience before attempting this exam. This book will help get your there but you have to do some additional reading also.

Summary: Useful
Comment: This book is not perfect - but among all the available SUPPORT references - this one appears to be more useful. The support exam is littered with dump questions, stupid answers - which literally cannot enter any self-respecting reference - so do not expect this book to cover every thing - but I suspect what this book covers would allow you to get a pass - since the passing mark is at a low 692/1000. Some of the things I find relevant are: 1.This is the only book that list the LED status of Catalyst module in a very compact, easy to study format - and being compact give you a chance to compare the differences to clarify the confusion. 2.Everyone talk about SAGE/SAINT/EARL - but only this book talk about MCP/LCP/Pheonix. 3.This is the only book that mentioned there is a command "show apple ADJACENT-route" - not many guru would have know this command out there. 4.I have came across many books that talk about the 4 loopback tests - this is the only one that gives the 4 IOS commands that did the loopback test - whatever happen to all the other authors - including the legendary Cormac Long? 5.He managed to trick me with one tricky question on SAP updates calculation - twice! 6.This is the only book that gave me ISDN bri port RJ45 pin out - not sure if this is exam question. 7.This is the only book that mentioned debug and show command that you can run on the Cisco router to troublehshoot VLAN/ISL problems - all other authors tunnel vision on the Catalyst IOS commands when they discuss Catalyst switch. 8.Most people provide OK explanation on Ethernet frame type - this author use precise diagram that left no doubt. 9. The end of chapters questions are OK - but I think it would have been better if it adds some packet/frame analysis type question. 10. There is some thoughtfulness when it come to organise those show and debug commands - I find that I can easily compare IP, IPX, Apple commands in 3 different chapters since simiar command occurs in similar place in each chapters.
Wise remarks here and there appears to be exam relevant. But given the dumbness of the exam, I afraid this is as good a book on support as it can ever be when it comes to exam preparation. There is not much use for a book like this after the exam.
