All information security is built on a foundation of a secure network, so anyone who hopes to do well in a security career had better understand networking. This is a comprehensive beginner's guide that covers everything you need to know to pass your Cisco Certified Network Associate exam. It also includes a cut-down version of Boson Software Inc.'s NetSim practice test software on CD-ROM. Netsim lets you practice the network skills you learn from the books on a virtual network on your PC.
The books are clear, and they cover every key concept in depth. Although focused on Cisco Systems Inc. products, the skills learned are universal to networking -- and critical for anyone serious about security.
There are many books on the market to prepare you for exams. Some are so focused on helping you cram for the exam that they aren't useful for anything else. I haven't taken my CCNA exam yet, so we'll have to see how useful this book is in that regard.
