Introduction
The EdgeTest Test Preparation Software
The test preparation software, provided by EdgeTek Learning Systems, pre-
pares you to pass the CCNA exam. In this test engine, you will find all the
review and assessment questions from the book, plus five additional bonus
exams that appear exclusively on the CD. You can take the assessment test,
test yourself by chapter or by topic, take the practice exams, or take a
randomly generated exam comprising all the questions.

Electronic Flashcards for PC, Pocket PC, and Palm Devices
To prepare for the exam, you can read this book, study the review questions
at the end of each chapter, and work through the practice exams included
in the book and on the companion CD. But wait, there's more! You can also
test yourself with the flashcards included on the CD. If you can get through
these difficult questions and understand the answers, you'll know you're
ready for the CCNA exam.
The flashcards include over 300 questions specifically written to hit
you hard and make sure you are ready for the exam. Between the review
questions, practice exams, and flashcards, you'll be more than prepared
for the exam.
CCNA Study Guide
in PDF
Sybex offers the
CCNA Study Guide
in PDF format on the CD so you can
read the book on your PC or laptop. This will be helpful to readers who
travel and don't want to carry a book, as well as to readers who prefer to
read from their computer. (Acrobat Reader 5 is also included on the CD.)
Cisco--A Brief History
Many readers may already be familiar with Cisco and what they do. How-
ever, those of you who are new to the field, just coming in fresh from your
MCSE, and those of you who maybe have 10 or more years in the field but
wish to brush up on the new technology may appreciate a little background
on Cisco.
