 Good book, allot of errors July 11, 2010

2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This book has allot of errors. Besides typos and references to tables they have some information just wrong. For example it talks about PIM-DM state refresh messages. Book says they are sent upstream from routers, however when I tested it in the lab I found that the messages can only be originated at the source interface for the S,G and sent downstream and are not enabled by default as the book would have you think. This makes me wonder about the credibility of the rest of the information in the book. Most information seems correct however. They really should have taken more time fact-checking and editing this book. Some sections are broad overviews and I find myself reading into more specifics in the CCNP books that cover the same topic.
 Solid Book and nice coverage of MPLS and IPv6 July 5, 2010

I found this book to be well-organized and presented in a fashion that aids learning. In particular, I really enjoyed the IPv6 and MPLS chapters, which I didn't have much experience with. I feel like I have a solid understanding of both now. Most of the errors I found were corrected in released Errata; however, one still has not. Don't let this trip you up--regarding 3560 Switch QoS on page 558 it states the following in regards to Egress Queues:
"Both shared and shaped mode schedulers prevent the PQ from exceeding its configured bandwidth when all the other queues have frames waiting to be sent. The shaped scheduler never allows any queue, PQ or non-PQ, to exceed its configured percentage of link bandwidth, even if that means that link sits idle."
That is really not correct, as you can see here on Cisco documentation: [...]
"The expedite queue is a priority queue, and it is serviced until empty before the other queues are serviced."
I ran this by a few other engineers, and they also agree with this assessment, that it will indeed starve the other queues unless you explicitly configure policing. Overall, the book is really great though. I just hope they update that section. I'm also surprised that the book never mentions that Spanning-Tree BPDUs are sent to the MCAST address 01:80:C2:00:00:00. There's also not much detail on QinQ tunneling, and I had to access other resources to get the config portion.
Overall, though, I feel that this has covered all material you'll see on the lab pretty well, though it is not a deep-dive, and you need to master all of the config and troubleshooting with LOTS of hands-on still.
 Amazing book ! June 2, 2010

I bought this book to prepare my CCIE written exam and what can I say is that this book is one of the best books I've ever read on networking. I started my Cisco Career with the CCNA exam book and the style is very similar (thanks Mr Odom).
You will be able to find DIKTA topic (Do I Know This Already ?) and it really help to gauge your knowledge on the topic. I tought I knew the spanning-tree protocol and after I checked the answer I told myself that I needed to read a bit more about it .... Such a great thing !
The content is very well-structured, all concepts are supported by numerous examples so even if one doesn't understand the subject in it's depth he or she can find an answer to a specific real-world question.
This book will provide you great insight and deep understanding of a wide scope of networking subject.
It definitely helps to understand the technology. The words used by the authors are very simple to understand and it is very easy then for a non fluent english speaker (such as me).
The examples used in the scenarios makes you feel confident with the topic.
This book is A MUST Have for every serious CCIE student. I highly recommend it !
Also you will receive a DVD which let you install Boson software and practice the CCIE written exam. It is awesome to train on that product. It really helped me !
Exceptionnal work Wendell Odom, Rus Healy, Denise Donohue.

This book has just enough information, I would rather say a perfect book to brush up all the topics for Written exam very easy to follow and read
also keeping in mind we need to renew our written exam certification every two year this book will be needed today or tomorrow I agree Cisco will add stuff but still book looks very promissing to me.
A lot of errors, though a good read April 21, 2010

The book covers the new exam topics and is useful as a reference. There are a lot of errors, especially when being referred to a particular table number and it doesn't exist. It seems the book was rushed for printing and wasn't reviewed thoroughly. Other than these issues the book was a nice read and I would highly recommend Cisco Press take their time on the next edition.
