CCNP: Building Cisco Multilayer Switched Networks Study Guide (642-811) Review by Chris Chan
A sloppy production
I used the Cisco Press CCNA Certification Guide to pass the CCNA exam and then used the Sybex BCMSN Study Guide to study for the exams. Not only I found big different between the contents, I also found the production quite sloppy. Found some misprint in the book but according to sybex.com, there are no updates to this book, while there is a 4 page errata to the Cisco Press BCMSN Certification Guide, which I eventually pay an extra $50 for. Did the exam and found some terms which I have never found in the Sybex book while some of the chapters were not in the exam at all. Very surprised.
All in all the Cisco Press books are a much better candidate for CCNP and this book did not closely match the exam topics published by Cisco. I would not recommend this book to anyone studying for CCNP.
