Quite noticable that there are two writer's, which often leads te re-reading several paragraphs. A big plus of this book, in comparison with the CCDA book, it is not so much of a sales pitch. Nor does it contain the phrases "Cisco invented this or that" as often as the CCDA book. I like the style of going through the problems and possible solutions. All with all not a bad read!

Useful overview of a LOT of technology. Needs an update on the SDWAN side, but that shouldn't be surprising. Yes, I passed the test, which does help me like the book more. Not exactly a page turner, but what Cisco Press book is? Didn't feel surprised by anything on the test after reading this book, which I think is all I can say. The sample questions were helpful. Would like to see a practice test included with future editions. Gave a lot to think about in my designs going forward.

This textbook is helpful as a study guide for the CCDP ARCH 300-320 test and is also helpful just as a review of best practice for network design.

Great book for new Cisco Design enthusiasts. I have found myself referring to it more often than not.

Excellent update and overall good introduction to designing networks. Definitely a step up from the material covered in the previous editions.
