Advice for using Sybex 4th ed. and Exam Cram 2nd ed.

magic19

I have the Sybex 4th ed. by Todd Lammle, the exam cram 2nd ed. and another cisco book. I also have a 4500M+, 2-2503s, and a 2501. What else will I need for studying for the CCNA. I have plenty of Networking experience and as administrator and as a LAN technician.

What else will I need for studying? Are the books I have sufficient enough for my studies?

ALL advice will be accepted.

Sybex 4th edition - make sure to download the NAT chapter from the net.

Just incase anyone is wondering here is where you can find the NAT chapter:

There's also a OSPF chapter, which according to reviews at amazon was also left out.

How do you write an book and leave out two whole topics?

BTW, is this book any good, or would you recommend the Cisco press book? Does the Sybex book stand on its own or would I need to supplement it w/ anything?

Thanks.

If you are missing whole chapters, I can just imagine what else is missing...

I have only ever used sybex... Don't know if I would for this topic.

Thanks for those missing Chapters. I am reading Sybex's Mastering Cisco Routers at the moment. It'll take me about a week to finish but it really is showing my alot about the internals of cisco networking and covers alot of things that the CCNA books cover, but in depth. I am just ready to get started using my lab.
