Hopefully the 2nd version is better???
I've read several Dummies books for other subjects. However, this book has lots of errors! Unfortunately I did not document all the errors, but really, isn't this the publisher's job?? The errors mostly occur in the chapter prep tests and on the practice test on the CD. These errors end up confusing me more than help me understand the material. I've emailed the publisher for a list of corrections, but they said they had no such list. In my humble opinion, this book isn't exactly the best study aid for the CCNA and certainly shouldn't be your only study aid!! However, it would be good to start off on this book, and get the clarification you need from another book as well.

New Edition Just as Good
Make sure you have the new edition of this book that covers Exams #640-801/811/821. As a starter book for CCNA it breaks you in with an very good overall picture and its a quick good final read also. Cisco Press or Sybex have "the meat" in much longer and involved texts which you will need unless you are doing a course. Dummies books are never to be underestimated. Recommended.

Quick review, not single study source
The book claims to be all you need to pass the CCNA exam. It is my experience that this is incorrect. The most it can be used for is an overview at the beginning of your studies. The book does not go into enough detail to cover half of what is on the test. The included CD is full of bugs and the emulation software it promises is only a demo and the real software must be purchased if you plan on using it to pass the test. I think there are better book on the market and don't suggest wasting the money.
