Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: - Useful
This book is not perfect - but among all the available SUPPORT references - this one appears to be more useful. The support exam is littered with dump questions, stupid answers - which literally cannot enter any self-respecting reference - so do not expect this book to cover every thing - but I suspect what this book covers would allow you to get a pass - since the passing mark is at a low 692/1000. Some of the things I find relevant are: 1. This is the only book that list the LED status of Catalyst ... Read More

Rating: - It's OK.
Remember that this is an "exam cram". It is a refresher for those that already know the material. As such, it is a good enough book.

If you don't already know the material or don't have at least a year of hands on experience, this book won't do the job.

If the book alone is applied to the test, the best that you can hope for would be 70%.

The book is mostly accurate, with few typos, but it does not cover everything.

Rating: - The following are a must have to pass the CCNP Support Exam
I passed the CCNP Support Exam 640-506 on Feb 18 2001. I had purchased Amir Ranjbar's book 3 weeks ago,last week of Jan 2001. I also bought CORIOLIS support Exam Cram by Matthew Luallen. The following is what I did to pass the exam.

1. I read Mr. Ranjbar's book cover to cover 11 Chapters. Second time around I read the Q&A in each section and the Foundation Summary in each Chapter. ( Excellent layout ). Third time around I just paid attention to the screen print out of all commands, there are ... Read More

Rating: - You'll need the exam prep book to fill in the gaps.
I always thought I had excellent technical skills with over 12 years of hardware troubleshooting experience. I also though hardware and software support was fairly straightforward and easy to understand, that was until I started reading Cisco books.

Coriolis has put together a book that begins to breakdown Cisco support and clear up my confusion. The Cram Sheet, tables, figures, screenshots, practice questions and sample test in this book are great ways to make the learning easier.

Rating: - Not enough for exam
Although I barely squeeked by this final exam , this book was definitly not enough info for the test. Not even the format of the practice exams was the same as the test. The test had tons of enter the command on the blank line (rather than multiple choice as the book presents them) as well as questions on interpreting sniffer output, which was not mentioned once in the book. I recomending that everyone try another book because this book didn't give much "test relevent" info, nor did it give an idea of what to expect ... Read More
