Shopped quite a while. Liked price. Came quickly. Works great in my JVC Everio camcorder. Just what I was looking for. Great buy.

I’m gearing up for the JNCIA/S exams, so have just bought the JNCIA book. In addition, I have the Complete reference too.

As a history thing, I haven’t been that impressed with Sybex revision books – mainly from a Cisco perspective. This book however seems to be a step away from the norm – which is quite refreshing.

A CD is included (like all the similar Cisco Press books for CCNA/CCDA/CCNP/CCDP). You get flash cards, 100’s of exam questions, study guides, a palm/pocketPC revision app & the bonus of a pdf covering the entire book (aka Cisco) !

At the front of the book is a detachable pull-out study guide which recommends reading certain chapters for different parts of the exam. When quizzed, the author certainly wasnt denying the fact that it could almost be a hint at what you will be tested on.

Book is split into sections (naturally) which run through the following;

Chapter 1: The Components of a Juniper Networks Router Chapter 2: Interfaces Chapter 3: Protocol-Independent Routing Chapter 4: Routing Policy Chapter 5: The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) Chapter 6: Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) Chapter 7: Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS) Chapter 8: Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) Chapter 9: Multicast Chapter 10: Firewall Filters Chapter 11: Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)

Differences between the JNCIA and the Complete ref are;

JNCIA has multicast. JNCIA has CD. Complete ref has a lot more about the ‘boxes’. Complete ref has intro to VPN (but not much). Complete ref is a lot heavier. Complete ref has more configuration examples.

If you’re thinking of revising (and if you haven’t got the complete ref) then this is the book to go for. Combine this with Routing TCP/IP, a glance through the most excellent Juniper tech pdf’s, hands-on the box and the Boson software exam guides ….. you should breeze through..

On the whole I am impressed with the book. Its straight to the point, tells you what you need to learn to pass the
