All-in-One for Beginners (EBook, 13 Exam Engines, and Flash Cards),A Certification Guide with 2200 Sample Questions and Answers with Comprehensive Explanations: the Complete One-Week Preparation for the CISCO CCENT/CCNA
The book explains CISCO CCNA/CCENT internetworking routing and switching concepts and guarantees the certification to the readers, with a unique presentation in the field of internetworking. It is written like usual textbooks. The differences are; in the way of presenting the required information, which is so simple, the addition of more than 2200 learning questions, and the built-in of 13 exam engines and flash cards. The learning questions, at the end of a chapter, represent a review to the information presented in that chapter as well as provide an easy way for the preparation of the real exam. The questions are made to focus on the important information. You have two options to read the questions and their answers, either by using the built-in exam engine at the end of each chapter or by reading the questions and their answers in the EBook. With more than 840 pages, the book includes explanatory text and provides new types of test formats to simplify both the exam and the presenting of the information to the readers, including over 2200 challenging multiple-choices-single-answer, multiple-choices-multiple-answers, fill-in-the-blank, testlet, drag-and-drop, and simulation test formats. A variety of internetworking scenarios and exhibits are used in this book to illustrate the topics related to the CISCO internetworking fundamentals. In line with modern training and teaching methodology, the questions are included to encourage the reader to stop and think, as well as to test his knowledge in preparation for a successful CCNA CCENT examination.& ;& ;The book also provides you three built-in CISCO CCNA/CCENT exams' engines. The exams mimic the format on real CISCO exams. The exams are highly organized, so that the reader can easily understand the concepts of the exams. To be more familiar with the real CISCO exam, each exam in this book contains only 50-60 questions. Moreover, the answers of the questions are comprehensively described so that you could understand the concepts behind each question very well and be more confident on the CISCO exam. The exams are made so that you could feel like on real CISCO exams. Therefore, the questions in this book require the same level of analysis as the question on the CCNA/CCENT ICND1 exams. Varieties of internetworking designing and troubleshooting scenarios are described in this book. While these scenarios prepare you for the exam, you will obtain strong experiences on CISCO switches, CISCO routers, CISCO internetworking and the associated protocols, and technologies. The three Simulated CISCOexams make you more confident in the real CISCO exam.& ;& ;CCENT is the essential certification for the CISCO internetworking routing and switching track. Understanding the CCENT topics and passing this exam successfully, are crucial for those who want to be an Internetworking professional, and is an easy mission, just follow this book. The current track of the CCNA routing and switching contains two exams and two certifications, the CCENT/ICND1 exam 640-822 and the ICND2 exam 640-816. However, it is possible to obtain the CCNA exam 640-802 by one exam and one certification. Now, CCENT and CCNA are the most popular entry-level networking and internetworking certification programs. The CCENT certification proves that you have a firm foundation in the networking and internetworking field, and it proves that you have a solid understanding of IP protocol, IP routing, switching, and many of CISCO device''s configurations.& ;& ;The book provides in-depth coverage of all official CCNA CCENT exam objectives and uses 2800 router, 1841 router, catalyst 2960 switch, and many other CISCO devices to clarify the required concepts. It also provides an up-to-date information for the newest catalyst 2960-S switch and 802.11n wireless technology. It provides objective-by-objective coverage of all the material the student needs to know for the exam, signaling out critical information, outlining necessary procedures, and identifying the exam essentials.& ;& ;The book is composed of ten chapters. Each chapter treats each internetworking entity with clear, simple, easy-to-follow sections, text boxes and numerous conceptual figures. The book contains more than 313 Figures, 33 Exhibits, 150 Tables, and hundreds of CISCO Switches' and Routers' Configurations. At the end of each chapter, a number of learning questions, exam engine with flash cards and a list of the commands, which are used in that chapter, are given. To make the reader/student more familiar with the CISCO exam, which is not requiring explaining the answer, some of the answers are not provided with explanations. However, explanations for these answers can be obtained easily from their questions. This will preserve the reader time by eliminating all the repeated information and it will not waste his/her time by extra statements. To encourage the reader to stop and think as well as to test his knowledge, the answers are not given directly after the learning questions; instead, the answers are listed in Appendix A with complementary discussions.& ;& ;This book uses mainly the passive voice way of writing to give the reader strong-straightforward information without confusing the reader by extra-not required statements. This way of writing is also used by CISCO for devices' configurations, and by several computer technical books and operating systems; hence, the reader will be more familiar with CISCO devices' configurations while he/she reads this book.& ;& ;The 2200 questions are distributed across the book as shown below:& ;& ;Chapter 1: Internetworking Essentials312& ;Chapter 2: Internetworking IP Protocol and IP Addressing& ;308& ;Chapter 3: Subnetting IP Network and VLSMs& ;85& ;Chapter 4: Internetworking OS CISCO Devices& ;239& ;Chapter 5: Internetworking Routing Protocols233& ;Chapter 6: Internetworking Switching219& ;Chapter 7: Internetworking OS Management Facilities216& ;Chapter 8: Internetworking WAN Technologies& ;188& ;Chapter 9: Internetworking Wireless Technology: an Introduction143& ;Chapter 10: Internetworking Security: an Introduction94& ;Exam E1& ;52& ;Exam E254& ;Exam E3& ;54& ;& ;This book is a unique one that is designed to offer both the CCNA/CCENT study guide and examination guide, and includes 13 built-in exam engines with flash cards.

The TRUE/FALSE and Correct/Incorrect types of questions are used to review the important information easily to the beginners. For those who have a good technical background and ready for certification, the book can be used as an additional technological certification guide, and the learning questions and the three exams can be used as a refresher for their information before taking the exam. Moreover, Questions like "Try to decide which option gets in which blank" and "Match ... etc." are used as a simulated "Drag-and-drop" type of questions in the exam.
