Book Description
Get ready for the new CCNP Support exam with the updated CCNP: Support Study Guide, 2nd Edition. Organized for optimal learning and retention, this book provides in-depth coverage of all exam objectives along with practical insights drawn from real-world experience. The accompanying CD includes hundreds of challenging review questions, electronic flashcards, and a searchable electronic version of the entire book. The mid-level Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) certification was developed by Cisco to validate advanced knowledge of Cisco-based networks. The Support exam (#640-606) is one of the four core exams that cover a wide range of topics, including installing, configuring, operating, and troubleshooting LAN, WAN, and dial-up access services for organizations with mid-to-large sized networks. Cisco recently "refreshed" the four CCNP exams, adding new questions and question formats to the pool, but leaving the previous set of exam objectives intact.
