CCIE exam guide

By Victor Tiswell - June 25, 2008

The CCIE Routing and Switching Exam Certification Guide by Wendell Odom is comprehensive,concise and cost effective.

The content of the book covers the CCIE 3.0 written exam blueprint in sufficient detail.There is no unnecessary fluff anywhere in the book. We all know that CCIE material is not exactly light reading, but the CCIE Routing and Switching Exam Certification Guide goes into technical details without being tedious. Yes, there are typos but this does not detract from the overall usefullness of this book.

CCIE training/prep classes are not cheap and a typical class may cost thousands of dollars. For anyone preparing for the CCIE written exam by self study, Wendell Odom's book is a great resource to have in your library.

Excellent book

By M. West - December 27, 2007

This is an excellent book for the CCIE Ver 3 Routing & Switching exam. I needed Ver 3 for recertification and found the book to be most helpful. Wendell Odom is an excellent author. I've got several of his CCIE books and each and every one of them is excellent.

Enough despite numerous errors.

By R. L. Diaz - April 6, 2009

Hi, this book has many errors in the examples given, which often leads to confusion. Not sufficiently detailed in many of the sections, so if you have no prior knowledge of certain subjects to suggest others as support.
Still remains a complete book to prepare for the exam so that I recommend. I have been enough to pass the written examination.
