      How to Use This Book

      If you want a solid foundation for the serious effort of preparing for the Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices Part 1 exam, then look no further. I’ve spent hundreds of hours putting together this book with the sole intention of helping you to pass the Cisco exam, as well as really learn how to correctly configure Cisco routers and switches!

      This book is loaded with valuable information, and you will get the most out of your study time if you understand why the book is organized the way it is.

      So to maximize your benefit from this book, I recommend the following study method:

      1. Take the assessment test that’s provided at the end of this introduction. (The answers are at the end of the test.) It’s okay if you don’t know any of the answers; that’s why you bought this book! Carefully read over the explanations for any questions you get wrong and note the chapters in which the material relevant to them is covered. This information should help you plan your study strategy.

      2. Study each chapter carefully, making sure you fully understand the information and the test objectives listed at the beginning of each one. Pay extra-close attention to any chapter that includes material covered in questions you missed.

      3. Complete the written labs at the end of each chapter. (Answers to these appear in Appendix A.) Do not skip these written exercises because they directly relate to the Cisco exams and what you must glean from the chapters in which they appear. Do not just skim these labs! Make sure you completely understand the reason for each correct answer.

      4. Complete all hands-on labs in each chapter, referring to the text of the chapter so that you understand the reason for each step you take. Try to get your hands on some real equipment, but if you don’t have Cisco equipment available, try the LammleSim IOS version, which you can use for the hands-on labs found only in this book. These labs will equip you with everything you need for all your Cisco certification goals.

      5. Answer all of the review questions related to each chapter. (The answers appear in Appendix B.) Note the questions that confuse you, and study the topics they cover again until the concepts are crystal clear. And again – do not just skim these questions! Make sure you fully comprehend the reason for each correct answer. Remember that these will not be the exact questions you will find on the exam, but they’re written to help you understand the chapter material and ultimately pass the exam!

      6. Try your hand at the bonus practice questions that are exclusive to this book. The questions can be found only at http://www.wiley.com/go/sybextestprep. And be sure to check out www.lammle.com/ccna for the most up-to-date Cisco exam prep questions, videos, Todd Lammle boot camps, and more.

      7. Test yourself using all the flashcards, which are also found on the download link. These are brand-new and updated flashcards to help you prepare for the CCENT and are a wonderful study tool!

      To learn every bit of the material covered in this book, you’ll have to apply yourself regularly, and with discipline. Try to set aside the same time period every day to study, and select a comfortable and quiet place to do so. I’m confident that if you work hard, you’ll be surprised at how quickly you learn this material!

      If you follow these steps and really study —doing hands-on labs every single day in addition to using the review questions, the practice exams, the Todd Lammle video sections, and the electronic flashcards, as well as all the written labs – it would actually be hard to fail the Cisco exams. But understand that studying for the Cisco exams is a lot like getting in shape – if you do not go to the gym every day, it’s not going to happen!

      Where Do You Take the Exams?

      You may take the ICND1, ICND2, or CCNA R/S Composite or any Cisco exam at any of the Pearson VUE authorized testing centers. For information, check www.vue.com or call 877-404-EXAM (3926).

      To register for a Cisco exam, follow these steps:

      1. Determine the number of the exam you want to take. (The ICND1 exam number is 100-105, ICND2 is 100-205, and CCNA R/S Composite is 200-125.)

      2. Register with the nearest Pearson VUE testing center. At this point, you will be asked to pay in advance for the exam. At the time of this writing, the ICND1 and ICND2 exams are $150, and the CCNA R/S Composite exam is $300. The exams must be taken within one year of payment. You can schedule exams up to six weeks in advance or as late as the day you want to take it – but if you fail a Cisco exam, you must wait five days before you will be allowed to retake it. If something comes up and you need to cancel or reschedule your exam appointment, contact Pearson VUE at least 24 hours in advance.

      3. When you schedule the exam, you’ll get instructions regarding all appointment and cancellation procedures, the ID requirements, and information
