Reddit reviews CCNA Routing and Switching Complete Study Guide: Exam 100-105, Exam 200-105, Exam 200-125

The Todd Lammle book for CCNA study was probably the easiest intro into networking I've read.

CCNA Routing and Switching Complete Study Guide: Exam 100-105, Exam 200-105, Exam 200-125 https://www.amazon.com/dp/1119288282/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_xA.5yb5VFATQB

I highly recommend self-study. In my experience, classes are only as effective as its least-knowledgeable members. The classes I have taken [Optional CCNA courses from a CCIE Security at my old job] in the past meant a lot of waiting on slower learners to grasp concepts before moving further in the material. Eventually I was self-studying the later material as the class was working to catch up.

Most people use at least 3 or 4 study sources ranging from video to books. And they usually lab, either with real equipment or with Packet Tracer. No point buying a lab just for ICND1.

Here is my copypasta

First, don't take the composite. Do you like money? You will probably fail at least once. I failed my first time. Goodbye money. Goooodbye pride. Helloooo shame. Take the ICND1 and then ICND2.

Here is the current blueprint for ICND1 It is meant to be followed from top to bottom as the first topics are fundamentals, working its way down to switching and then routing.


I recommend getting a SafariBooks subscription. It even has a free trial. The Livelessons videos are over $100 retail and the Odom and Lamlee books are another $100. For $39 a month I think SafariBooks is the best value.

Then on SafariBooks, search for CCNA Livelessons videos [specifically "CCENT ICND1 100-105"] on ICND1. Kevin Wallace goes through the blueprint from top to bottom and I just think he is a very focused and excellent instructor. He has another video series there called "Learning Path: CCNA Routing and Switching" which goes off the blueprint slightly into a deeper understanding of networking fundamentals. Disclosure, I have not watched the new exam videos since the exam was revamped last year, but I did watch his videos from the last exam version.

Supplement your learning by reading the Odom and Lammle books on ICND1 which are also available on Safaribooks. You can even download the books for offline reading on your phone or tablet. Some like Odom's official cert guide more but it is dry material that follows the blueprint. Lammle is a little more 'colorful' but I don't like his prose and how he gets off topic with real-world scenarios. There are also some cram guides that have quizzes and good commands to know. Again, all of these are available on SafariBooks. ^I ^am ^not ^a ^shill ^for ^SafariBooks ^but ^I ^use ^it ^almost ^everyday.

For additional studying you can get some pre-made Anki or Quizlet decks. They both have mobile apps [Anki is not free for iOS. Quizlet is] and are super helpful when you don't have the ability to open a large book or watch videos...or don't have the attention span to re-read a chapter. Quizlet just added the ability to test and game on flashcards, which is something it didn't have before that Anki did have. Anki requires a program to install to study on desktop, while Quizlet uses an in-browser interface. If you can't get Anki installed on a work computer, Quizlet is a fine substitute.


When you want to touch 'real' equipment you can download Packet Tracer for free from Cisco Net Academy. Dan's Courses has step-by-step Packet Tracer labs and solutions. Labbing is essential but you definitely don't need a physical lab for CCNA and especially ICDN1. You eventually can graduate to GNS3 but you should only need PT for ICDN1 and probably ICDN2.


Lots of people like CBT Nuggets but I find that since they don't follow the blueprint very well and the presenter Jeremy Cioara gets off topic [I.E. excited] and can throw off focus of the subject matter. Also at something like $100 a month [legally], it is expensive for what you get in return, which is one video series with some large holes in the knowledge you need to pass.

Hope this helps.

Cisco press has a book: 31 Days Before CCNA which can help with study/review schedule and topic breakdown.

For more study material, Todd Lammle’s CCNA book Amazon is a good read, the Official Cert Guide by Wendell Odom is very detailed and can be a bit dry.

Best of luck in your studies!

>Do i really need too buy the very expensive cisco books from their site?

No, and I recommend one or both of these two books:

OCG

Lammle

I also recommend taking ICND1 then ICND2 instead of the composite (200-125).

I also recommend the Boson practice tests, they seem to be the most popular, for good reasons too.

>When i do the exam for ICND1, do i also have to do the test for CCENT cert? Is the CCENT cert test just based on the ICND1 stuff? Just asking since it seems you have to do 2 tests for the same thing?


CCENT and ICND1 are the same thing, once you pass ICND1 100-105, you are now a CCENT. Once you pass ICND2 200-105, you are a CCNA.

The CCNA can be taken a few different ways. As 2 exams (ICND1 and ICND2) or 1 exam (CCNAX). The combined exam is mostly for re-certification and for people that have been in a Cisco networking role for a while. Beginners should take the 2 test route. It is only $5 more expensive and will be much easier than the 1 test path.



Taking an instructor-lead class is going to be a crap-shoot. How good it is and how well it prepares you for the exam are ENTIRELY dependant on the instructor. Plus in-person classes are usually expensive. Self-study, in my opinion, is the way to go for almost every certification.


You should always use multiple resources to prepare for any exam. I recommend the following for the CCNA:



Pick up the Wendel Odom OCG (Official Certifiaction Guide). You can get it on Amazon for around $40 for both the INCD1 and INCD2 books. You can also get the /u/lammle book for around $30 on Amazon. The Odom book is considered very dry and hard to read, but has more information and goes deeper into the subjects than the Lammle book does. I personally do not have a problem with the Odom book and have readt it all the way through.



You should also get a video course. There are tons out there (CBT Nuggets, ITPro.TV, INE, Kevin Wallace, etc.). I recommend Chris Bryant's course on Udemy. It usually costs around $12 and is extremely good for the price.



You also need a lab of some kind. The most recommended would be a Hardware lab (with real Cisco routers and switches), GNS3, or Packet Tracer. Obviously a hardware lab is going to be expensive (probably around $300 for a basic one). I use Packet Tracer and while it has it's flaws and limitations it seems to be good enough for the CCNA. On top of that it is FREE. GNS3 is also free but requires that you have your own IOS images to run in it (which are not free unless you go a less-than-legal route to aquire them). There is also INE's lab and Cisco's VIRL but they are very expensive and VIRL requires a pretty beefey machine to run.



Read a book, watch a video course, and lab EVERY concet you can. If you really get stuck and can't figure something out or don't understand something after researching it yourself, come post here and ask. We are always willing to help.

You're looking for books that cover "Exam 100-105 & Exam 200-105" or "Exam 200-125 (combined exam)".

I'm currently using Odom's book. It's a bit heavy in context but once I got used to it after a few chapters its been great.

I used this book:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1119288282/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1503224194&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=todd+ccna&dpPl=1&dpID=51yYfht4EtL&ref=plSrch#immersive-view_1503224202882

It pretty much has everything you need to know. I would 100% recommend doing CCNA, I feel SO much more knowledgeable now.

Also used CBT Nuggets, at 84$ a month it is pretty expensive. It is a great service however.

You will also inevitably need to use GNS3 which is a network simulator. It is annoying to setup, but a must. Unless you have a home lab which most people, including myself use. It is best to do both.

Here is a Cisco guide I found about the subject of IP addressing and subnetting. Just the first link on Google though, I bet there are a lot more. (Quickly glancing over it, it seems they explain things in a pretty difficult manner.)

I'm currently studying for my Cisco CCNA certificate and I'm reading Todd Lammle's book for this. Very much overkill if you just want the basics, but everything is very thoroughly explained here. It's very interesting stuff imho, if you're into that.

From the sticky post at the top of the forum it seems the general consensus is that Lammle is an approchable, easier to read author as opposed Odom who is more technical.

Might I suggest you go for [this book instead] (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1119288282/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) seems to be more or less the same cost but covers all the material for CCNA + ICND1 & 2.

Just an idea.

to answer your actual question, I'm a beginner and I like Lammle's books

I used this book for my exam in May 2016 and I found his writing better than the Cisco Official Text.

First, read our Wiki. It is very thorough and answers a lot of these common questions such as

day to day? The Practice of System and Network Administration
And the topical reference books listed below.

Books to help in shaping a sysadmin? The above &:
The Phoenix Project
Time Management for System Administrators


Topical Books I see mentioned often and have been very helpful to me:
Powershell in a month of lunches
Learn Python the hard way
Unix and Linux System Administration Handbook
Windows Server 2016: Inside Out

Group Policy
AbsoluteBSD
FreeBSD mastery:ZFS
CCNA
RHCSA/RHCE
Pro Puppet
SSH Mastery

On my docket:
FreeBSD Mastery: Advanced ZFS

Michael W. Lucas and Thomas Limoncelli are very good sysadmin writers, you can't go wrong with a topic they have chosen to write about.

Most of the *nix stuff assumes a baseline knowledge of how to use a unix-based system. I learned as I went but did pick up an old copy of Unix Visual Quickstart Guide not too long ago at a used books sale, which seems like a good starting place for someone overwhelmed with sitting at a terminal and being productive.
I notice I don't have any Virtualization books, perhaps someone else can fill in good books. Most of my knowledge regarding virtualization and network storage has been a mix of official docs, video training, and poking at it. Seems innate but it isn't.

Either get Lammle's Book or Odem's Book. Lammle is easier to read and understand in my experience, but Odem goes deeper into some topics. You can read a few pages of the books through Amazon, and see which one you like better.



You can get Chris Bryant's Video Series through Udemy for ~$10 since they're always on sale. There's also CBT Nuggets. The monthly subscription is a bit pricey, but there are ways to get them "cheaper".

Sure.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1119288282/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1482189424&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=lammle&dpPl=1&dpID=512jdnkQdfL&ref=plSrch

Look into both Odom and Lammle's books:

https://www.amazon.com/CCENT-ICND1-100-105-Official-Guide/dp/1587205807/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1526780171&sr=8-1&keywords=odom+ccna

https://www.amazon.com/Routing-Switching-Complete-Study-Guide/dp/1119288282/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1526780192&sr=1-1&keywords=Lammle+ccna

It's best to use more than one resource.

As Epic has already stated the best book is Lammle, but I also like Odom's ICND1 & Odom's ICND2 as well. I would also suggest doing ITProTV or Chris Bryant for training videos.

Bryant lacks any lab documents, but you can download packet tracer and just pause the video and screenshot anything you need to do the labs.
If you spring for the high plan from ITPro you get access to labs and practice tests. I would skip the practice tests and spend the money on Boson ICND1/Boson ICND1&2

I like this CCNA book.

I am just starting my test prep and this post will be a huge help to me with your list of study materials. On the Lammle Book did you get just the

CCENT ICND1 Study Guide: Exam 100-105 or

CCNA Routing and Switching Complete Study Guide: Exam 100-105, Exam 200-105, Exam 200-125

This one is the one I used since I am studying for part 2 now.

> I asked for personal recommendations.

No. No, you didn't.

Scroll back up there and read the actual words you provided to us.

Here, let me help you:

> I am looking for an additional resource (preferably a text book because for some god forsaken reason, text books are the only books I enjoy to read) for a secondary CCNA source.

That is not a personalized request. That's a shotgun blast.

What resources have you discovered on your own? Which resources seemed interesting to you? Can we help you choose between a specific list of things you've found?

When you read the FAQ over in /r/ccna what did you think of their recommended reading list?

When you ask a broad, unfocused question like that and don't provide any evidence or indication that you've done any research or put any effort into it, it comes across as laziness.

Compare these two sentences examples:

"I want to get my CCNA. Can someone suggest a book on the subject?"

or

"I want to get my CCNA. I read <blog> and <article> and I see lots of positive comments for these two books <URL> and <URL>, but I also hear good things about CBTNuggets. Can someone help me choose? I really only want to spend about $100 on this."

See how that first example gives us nothing to work with, and makes us ask all the questions & do all the work for you?

See how the second example puts more of the work effort on you to explain the situation and help us understand what you've already done to find this answer on your own?

That is what effective communication looks like when you are communicating via electronic text. You might make a note of it.

The two most popular books on CCNA R&S are:

The two books from Wendell Odom, part of the official Cisco Press offering:

ICND1
ICND2

And the Todd Lammle books:

CCNA Routing and Switching Complete Study Guide

As far as the theory goes i personally liked todd lammle

You can also do cbt nuggets and look on youtube for free ccna videos.

The lab part you have to go boson. I loved their lab environment and labs. I know not everybody can afford to pay for it , so you can always substitute for packet tracer, or gns3.

Just be prepared lab wise. I failed the first time around because i forgot certain commands and wasted my time sifting through show runs.

Hey there and welcome! I'm IT focused with a 4 year in networking and security. I work as a Tier 2 lead for software / analyst type stuff. I started networking in the Army and said I was going to get my CCNA back in 07. I was off by 10 years. ;P

The lost feeling is ok!

The biggest thing is to not psych yourself out and feel overwhelmed. Focus on studying your books, using packet tracer or whatever you are comfortable with. Do the written questions at the end of each chapter, and takes notes on anything you feel is important. Also practice the acronyms!

https://www.amazon.com/Routing-Switching-Complete-Study-Guide/dp/1119288282/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8

Your version comes with labs and flash cards as well as 3 different practice exams. Also comes with a network simulator. (Don't know how good that is, haven't made it that far and am comfy with packet tracer but will try both) Only on chapter 3 after a week of focusing on it at LEAST 3 hours per day.

Don't worry about sprinting to get this cert but stay studious and hard ferocious on it. Remember why you are doing this and keep pushing. We are right there with you.

I just passed this test on Monday. I thought the material was very good for this course. Especially the practice exam and labs from boson. I did pick up the Lammle book as well and it is great.

I got the lammle guide that covers all three for thirty (obviously I won’t need the composite, but it’s there)

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1119288282?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_pd

How does it compare to Odom

This is not impossible to but, nearly. Some may object and there are example of people passing in less time. However, they usually have a background in networking, or advanced mathematics.

Get Todd Lammel's book.

People have read only this and passed. That would never work for me. Use it with other resources like CBT Nuggets.

3 months is reasonable to study and pass the CCENT if you lots of free time. I studied for the CCENT over 4 months only doing a couple hours a day - if I was less lazy I could have done it in probably 2 months coming from probably similar experience as you.

this book is by todd lammle - highly recommended. will cover everything you need to know for the CCENT. also check out the free packet tracer tool from CISCO (you will need it for the guided labs in this book). I would also recommend you use the boson exam sim practice tests. they are very similar in format and wording to the actual exam. Once you get to the chapter about subnetting, check out this website for practice.

If you are looking to get into cybersecurity, understanding how networks work on a deeper level than "home network" will be required. Many entry level security jobs include monitoring network traffic for security issues... can't do that if you have no clue what you're looking at right? This will probably also make your college courses much easier.

The tests are scheduled at the pearson vue website for you to take whenever you want.

I have CCNA Routing and Switching Complete Study Guide: Exam 100-105, Exam 200-105, Exam 200-125 by Lammle and am using it to accompany the ICND1 course I am doing this week.

Sorry, I couldn't link it on Amazon.don't know if this will work:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1119288282/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_mazUzbX3A7BAR

I went to amazon books and searched CCNA, and selected the first entry:

Description from the page (emphasis mine):

CCNA Routing and Switching Complete Study Guide, 2nd Edition is your comprehensive review for the CCNA exams. Written by the leading authority on networking technology, this guide covers 100% of all objectives for the latest ICND1, ICND2, and CCNA Composite exams. Hands-on labs help you gain experience in critical procedures and practices, and the network simulator provides a realistic lab environment so you can practice at your own pace. Gain access to the Sybex online learning environment, featuring a robust set of study tools including: practice questions, flashcards, video instruction, and an extensive glossary of terms to help you better prepare for exam day. The pre-assessment test helps you prioritize your study time, and bonus practice exams allow you to test your understanding. Need more practice? Get 20% off a year subscription and free access to premium Cisco Labs—providing hands-on, real-world experience using Cisco Routers, Switches, and Firewalls.

There may be a better or more technical term. I simply replied with what I have always called them, and heard them called by others in the profession. Granted it's networking rather than programming, but I did a quick search on what I what used to, sorry.

Ok that makes sense. I think I'll start by buying the two separate guides. I already purchased Lammle's CCNA Routing and Switching Complete Study Guide: Exam 100-105, Exam 200-105, Exam 200-125 earlier this week for my college course and I knew people find Odom's guides useful as well. Thanks for your reply!

The new exam is 100-105, and it's the icnd1 v3. Anything published after August 2016 should be up to date, but double check before ordering. The book I'm looking at getting is this.

I actually have this one. The first half is geared toward the CCENT, and the second half is the CCNA.

I recommend Todd Lammle's books in addition to packet-tracer and gns3 for labbing. There are other routes you can look into for all of this stuff without spending an arm and a leg, but Todd made the most sense to me when I took it years ago. This is the newer version of course:

https://www.amazon.com/Routing-Switching-Complete-Study-Guide/dp/1119288282/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1522267711&sr=1-1&refinements=p_lbr_one_browse-bin%3ATodd+Lammle

Essentially yes. You will have to pay for the test though, it's how they make money. I would also recommend acquiring a book specifically for the test or buying a video set online.

There are also the Comptia certs which tend to be more entry level. Professor Messer has some decent free courses on the Comptia certs A+, Network+, and Security+.

I took a boot camp and used this book

CCNA Routing and Switching Complete Study Guide: Exam 100-105, Exam 200-105, Exam 200-125 https://www.amazon.com/dp/1119288282/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_R6XDCb1BYWZY0

I took the four netacad Cisco Learning Academy classes over the course of four semesters at a community college and that helped give me a basis. I also read all of Wendell Odom's CCNA book and then I read Todd Lammle's CCNA book as well. Odom's book is dryer but he explains it in more depth. Lammle's book is easier to read, so I might read it first to get a good overview and then read Odom's book for a stronger foundation.

I also had homelab with 2 Cisco 2950 switches and 2 Cisco 1841 routers to get use to physically configuring the devices. I also used Packet Tracer extensively.

I would get these books and read them while doing lots of Packet Tracer labs. That should prepare you for the tests. I would also do the CCENT first and then the ICND2 to fully get your CCNA.

Can I pick your brain again? For learning resources I was thinking of Pluralsight (used them for my MCSA Server 2012 and loves them) and Todd Lammle's book:
https://amazon.com/Routing-Switching-Complete-Study-Guide/dp/1119288282/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1491569673&sr=8-1&keywords=ccna

I can help you out. I am a recent graduate just graduate this past spring from the Information and Computer Technology program with concentration in security. What you want to major in really depends on what you are most interested in. If you like coding and writing up programs then Computer Science is for you. If you don't like coding that much as want to focus on areas such as setting up firewalls, networking, where you subnet and assign computer's with ip addresses than yeah go with the Info. Comp. Tech. With the ICTN program it will prepare you for a industry certifications such as CCNA , Security +, CCNP, CCNA- security, RHCSA, RHCE. Do a google search on these certifications and look at the topics covered within the certifcation exams especially the CCNA. The cisco classes the prepare you for the CCNA are the hardest classes and are the washout classes. Where after people taking those that dropout of the program. If you seriously want to do the Info. Comp, Tech, then google the CCNA study guide and look at such content. Or click on this link
https://www.amazon.com/Routing-Switching-Complete-Study-Guide/dp/1119288282/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1495502742&sr=8-4&keywords=cisco+ccna

This is the type of stuff that you will be going over when you first start taking ICTN classes. The classes in the program are not hard as long as you put a good amount of work in. It really requires a lot of dedication and understanding. Because there are gonna be days you are going to be having problems in labs and its gonna force you to troubleshoot and think outside the box. The ccna certification itself is required if you wanna stay in the networking track. The certification itself is diffcult but do able. I myself do not have CCNA but have comptia Security+ .

Now i personally can't speak for computer science but if you are good at coding in such things such as Java, python or other programming languages then i would recommend Comp. Sci. Go to code academy google it gives you code lessons and see if you like that.

I can't really tell you want to do. But personally i would choose Info. Comp. Tech. over comp sci any day.

If you have any questions just PM

Lammle is an engaging writer, while the ODOM books come with practice tests and is the official Cisco training guide. Lammle will put it in comprehensible terms for you because Odom comes off as robotic and emotionless, text books and training manuals are notorious for having technical writing style in them (The form of writing where you try to leave all human elements out of writing, which means excluding opinions, real world anecdotes etc, just get to the point in the most intricately written way as they can. I hate that textbook writers are highly and strictly encouraged to write this way since it makes the learning process much more difficult). Reardless, it's best to have multiple sources. Also if I were you, I would get the complete set for the Lammle side of things. You'll spend less money when you don't buy them all individually since everything is there. As for the Odom side, you're stuck with buying all of his books if you want the practice exams and his bland writing style.

Remember one more thing, Youtube is your friend.

Get either the book by Todd Lammle or the book by Wendell Odom. Either of these will suit. I also recommend some video series. CBT Nuggets or Chris Bryant are well received.

Note: The Odom book I linked is for CCCENT or ICND1 only, while the Lammle book is for both. Odom has a book for ICND2 also.

And there's the "2nd half" of what I've sent you : CCNA ICND2 Study Guide: Exam 200-105

I've been wondering about a similar thing. Don't know which Lammle book to buy.

Is CCNA Routing and Switching Complete Study Guide: Exam 100-105, Exam 200-105, Exam 200-125 the bundled version of

CCENT ICND1 Study Guide: Exam 100-105

and

CCNA ICND2 Study Guide: Exam 200-105 = CCNA Routing and Switching Complete Study Guide: Exam 100-105, Exam 200-105, Exam 200-125 ?

I put the one I think is a bundle for pre-order just now. Hopefully it's the correct one.

This is the newest book by Todd Lammle. I just got it in the mail and I am on Ch.2. It's really good so far. Whichever book you decide on, ensure that it was published after August 2016.

You have some reading to do. How about this timeless classic https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1119288282
