CCNP Bcmsn Exam Cram 2 (Exam Cram 642-811)

This was a great concise prep book for the CCNP's BCMSN exam. While the practice questions weren't nearly as tough as the actual exam, I still passed on my first try with only a couple weeks of study time needed. Whever I'm at work and need a refresher on switching, this is the first thing I reach for and it's helped me out again and again. I'd also like to add that the QoS section is also a great concise reference, and explain DSCP and CoS values better than anything else I've found so far. I'd highly recommend this book for anyone working with Cisco router, switches, or VoIP products. Save yourself time and money.

After reading this book, I felt more than prepared for the BCMSN exam. Having read many of Mr. Deal's books, this one is just as good. It is well written and will be used as an excellent reference. Highly recommended.

I recently used this book in conjunction with the Cisco Press guide to pass the BCMSN exam. I thought that it was an excellent combination of theory review and configuration examples. It is very concise and pretty much everything is covered. My only criticism is that the practice test on the CD is much easier than the real exam.

This book not only helped me out to update myself for the switching exam but also cleared a lot of configurations with very nice examples and even step by step procedures. It was a very easy reading overall and a good way to get up to date with switching technologies from Cisco.

I bought this book but didn't use it much until just before the exam. It covers all the areas of the exam well and has an excellent Index for reference. I passed the exam OK and this book did provide me with an understanding of topics covered in the practice exam questions that I wasn't able to find in the Cisco Press book.
