Expert, comprehensive preparation for Cisco's brand-new CCNP 2.0 routing exam (640-503)! Hands-on practice: includes extensive real-world scenarios and labs! Congestion management, queuing, TCP/IP... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I read the Cisco book. I also read the Sybex book. Both gave me a fairly good understanding of the subject. It was not until I read this book that I felt I knew the material well enough to take the test. DO NOT use this book as the only source. Use this book AFTER reading Cisco or Sybex. This book will really bring it together for you. I cannot say enough about the style Robert Myhre uses. The book "talks" to you like someone explaining in person how the protocols work. If you want to really understand routing, this is your book. I read and studied this book after reading the Cisco book (dry, yawn) and this book really kept my interest. I took the test today and scored an 839. If you want to not only pass the test but REALLY understand EIGRP, OSPF and BGP buy this book.
Myhre is getting better all the time.

There is no doubt that Cisco is one of the most sought after an coveted certifications going today and Robert Myhre is making sure that you have every chance to pass the certification exams on the first shot.As with his CCNA certification book, Myhre covers each exam objective completely and with excellent attention to detail. His knowledge of the subject matter is very evident right from the beginning.The mixing of screen shots with tables, figures and diagrams throughout the book help to make the topics easy to see and comprehend. Topics like routing concepts and protocols like IGRP, EIGRP, OSPF, BGP, internal and external are given sections in this book.Myhre also includes review questions at the end of the chapters and this allows you to gauge you learning and also to allow you to review the sections you find more difficult. At the end of the book is Appendix A covering routing commands and B covering subnetting, both are excellent references to have on hand.The cd-rom included has practice questions and the installation was simple and no major complications were encountered. Also visit Prentice Hall Website to find even more book on several certifications.
