Title: Building Scalable Cisco Networks: Prepare for CCNP and CCDP Certification with the Official Cisco BSCN Coursbook by Catherine Paquet, Diane Teare ISBN: 1-57870-228-3 Publisher: Cisco Systems Pub. Date: 15 January, 2000 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $60.00 |

Summary: Definitely more than enough to help pass your exam!
Comment: This book is the only book that you need to pass your Routing exam. The information in the book is very well layed out and covered in enough detail to explain the concepts to you, but not overbore you to sleep.
If you read this book cover to cover twice (I did), then you will be more than well prepared to pass the exam. It helped me pass the exam with a score of 936.
It's well worth your money and a lot better than buying a "cram" or braindump, because after reading this book, everything will become crystal clear to you. Besides - everything you learn towards attaining your CCNP will be applied to studying for your CCIE. Don't cheat your way out with imitation books or exam crams. The test is totally based on this book and if it only takes knowing 70% of the material to pass, then this book will provide you with 120% of what you need to know.

Summary: Great book! read it and pass the routing 2.0 exam
Comment: The Routing 2.0 exam is 40% OSPF, 30% BGP, 20 % EIGRP and 10% general internetworking questions. This book has it all. It is easy to understand with excellent diagrams and config examples. It's the only book I needed to pass the exam. It's even a good reference book to have on the job for all those commands you can't remember 6 months after taking the test! Yes, Jeff Doyles book is fantastic, but if your main objective is to obtain your CCNP, then get this book.

Summary: Bound to leave you confused!
Comment: I would save yourself some time by looking for other books. I was also daunted by this book's size and determined to master the material solely based on earlier reviews. So I read this book several times and have the following comments:
The organization of OSPF material has the following drawbacks: a) lack of context, the commands are covered only after some theory is given in a dry definition form. This is great, you may say, but to me it was not easy to put the definitions into context. The material for OSPF is mostly from the Cisco OSPF Design Guide (read those skimpy pages to get the most understanding of OSPF). So it looks like from the OSPF design guide, they seperated the theory and interspersed it with some other text and moved the configuration towards the chapter end. The second OSPF chapter requires serious apology to the readers: inter area routing and external routing are impossible to describe and make students understand without introducing redistribution(this is introduced only at the end). However, this makes the material extremely difficult to understand.
EIGRP is OK.
BGP is another complex set of definitions, and several reads are needed before even trying to piece together the definition and understand how to put everything together.
So: for OSPF start from OSPF design guide by Cisco. Not sure about where to go for EIGRP and BGP: I got a hang of those material by several reads of the Paquet and Teare material.
