Comprehensive Introduction, but Depth Might Be Limited
I recently explored the Cisco Networking Essentials course, and it provides a solid foundation for anyone new to networking. The course covers the basics thoroughly, including essential networking concepts, protocols, and Cisco equipment. Itâs well-structured and offers a clear introduction to networking principles, which is perfect if youâre starting from scratch.The practical exercises and real-world scenarios are particularly useful. They help in applying theoretical knowledge and give you a better understanding of how networking principles work in practice. If youâre aiming for a Cisco certification or just want to bolster your networking skills, this course is a good starting point.However, for those looking for advanced networking concepts or more in-depth material, this course might feel a bit basic. Itâs designed to be accessible and introductory, so while itâs excellent for beginners, it may not delve deeply into more complex topics or provide extensive hands-on labs.

Excellent Primer on Networks
This is an excellent primer on the fundamentals of designing, managing, and maintaining a network. It starts with the basics of network topologies and moves on to more advanced topics such as applying the OSI model and Firewall installation. The chapter on Cisco IOS is especially handy, since it provides a quick reference for commonly used command props. I usually leave that chapter open when I use Packet Tracer (Ciscoâs free software to virtually emulate their networking equipment). Although each chapter ends with a quiz, I wish there was more incorporation of information pertaining directly to the CCENT or CCNA certifications. If you purchase this book in preparation for a exam, Iâd strongly recommend you also purchase a separate exam guide.

With my new job I had to gain some common understanding into networking.Not being an IT expert or someone with a degree in computer science, did I come across this book.Language and content is something nearly anybody is able to understand who has been working in the IT space for a while learning the language but without a technical background.This book has added explanations and details to vocab I have known before and deepened my knowledge in networking to understand the overall technical concepts.I would recommend this book to anybody working in customer service or sales in larger IT companies whose products are related to networking, to get a broad overview.

Feels like a good quality printing. It’s relatively large, and very informative. I needed this for an into networking course and found that it was very informative. It’s also very dense with information, so many parts may take multiple reads, but there is a lot to learn from this book.

Its really well structured and explained. And actually quite an confy read, even though it basically covers the CCENT half (ICND1) of the CCNA.I would still recommend also studying from another source though, such as the official Cisco CCNA book.Can also be recommended as Pre-prep for CCNA (read it before the REAL study period begins) – it would make life a lot easier for you, andfor people just interested in Network Administration in general, with some of the Cisco particulars (which are still quite useful)Also – the kindle edition is in 2nd edition, and quite well edited. Not a big mess, as some otherwise decent guides are …
