"Author Wendell Odom, has done an outstanding job of writing a book that provides a complete study system for the Cisco published exam topics for the ICND1 100-105 exam... Also, this great book presents the Cisco per-device license management practices through the use of PAK licensing."
—John Vacca, Amazon reviewer
"This book is great for learning how to configure switches and routers besides preparing you for the CCENT TEST. The delivery is a little dry at times but I really got a feeling that I was absorbing the material well and could apply it in real life. I really like the test material that came with the book, there were a lot of questions that really tested my knowledge and showed me were I needed more work."
—Jack Jacobs, Amazon reviewer, Network Security Engineer
"This is a great guide to get prepared for your ICND1 Exam. Wendell Odom offers great knowledge and experience throughout the book to help you prepare for the exam. It is also full of study tips, charts and information needed to pass the exam.
The book is very well laid out, and very detailed. Each chapter opens with a Do I Know This Already quiz, that lets you evaluate if you need to read this chapter or are familiar with the concepts already. This is a great timesaver. The chapters end with a review quiz to help you gauge your knowledge after reading the chapter.
The book is also not full of technical jargon, but offers real world examples and definitions to aid the non-technical person prepare as well. Lastly, the book comes with comprehensive software and practice exams for when you’re ready for the exam. I highly recommend this book."
