Who Should Read This Book
This book is for those people preparing for the CCNP ISCW exam, whether through self-study,
on-the-job training and practice, study within the Cisco Networking Academy, or study through
the use of a Cisco Training Partner. There are also some handy hints and tips along the way to
make life a bit easier for you in this endeavor. This book is small enough that you will ?¬?nd it easy
to carry around with you. Big, heavy textbooks might look impressive on your bookshelf in your
of?¬?ce, but can you really carry them all around with you when you are working in some server
room or equipment closet somewhere?
