Great Book!!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
This book is great for beginners and expert alike (up to Catlayst 5500 series).The author explains everything about using Cisco Catalyst Switches and give valuable examples as well which is a must.Just a reminder for those taking CCNP Switching exam, this book is a text not a study guide. You can use this book together with a study guide for higher exam score result.
Excellent Reference
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This book is the best switching resource I own. I found it to be very readable, concise, and yet thorough. It's true that it suffers from many typos and it is getting rather dated, but most of this book is still extremely useful. (I very much hope that the authors are working on the 2nd edition.)To expect this book to read like an exam cram is hardly fair. In the preface, the book itself claims to be intended as a reference for an intermediate level reader. Still, I used this book as my primary means of studying for the 640-504 exam, and easily passed.
Good Writing, Older Technology
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
The book is very well organized and written. However, if you want to implement the newest generation of switched Ethernet based on gigabit Ethernet technology, you need to use several series of new Catalyst switches, which are not covered in the book. You will also find a few errors and typos in the book.
Covers Cisco Well!

This is a great book if you are needing to learn the latest in Cisco Multilayer switching! It gets into all of the gory detail and more. It's only drawback is that it seems to be written for those who allready understand a lot, I found myself having a hard time tracking the concepts, particularly when to not use dynamic vlan. Overall, the book meets it's objective well.
Excellent !! If you use Cisco Switches -- get this book !!

I've been using Cisco products for many years now, and have read many Cisco manuals. This book is the most readable work I have seen to date on Cisco Switches. Very current and contains excellent depth. If you need more information than you find in this book - call the Cisco TAC.
