CCNA for Dummies

by Ron Gilster

Here's a CCNA guide that's actually fun -- but don't worry, you won't sacrifice accuracy. Lead author Ron Gilster formerly ran one of Cisco's Regional Training Academies, so he knows this stuff. It's all here: the OSI reference model, router basics, commands, and models; key protocols; network addressing, subnetting, and security; LAN switching; WANs; and much more.

CCNA prep.

Simple enough to fill in some gaps.

The foundations were easy to read but a lot of the information is outdated. (Stuff like IPX and Appletalk is borderline obsolete.)

The OSI model section and Addressing section were really robust.
