书籍简介
Professional certifications have been an important part of the computing industry for many years and will continue to become more important. Many reasons exist for these certifications, but the most popularly cited reason is that of credibility. All other considerations held equal, the certified employee/consultant/job candidate is considered more valuable than one who is not.
Goals and Methods
The most important and somewhat obvious goal of this book is to help you pass the Switching exam (#640-504). In fact, if the primary objective of this book was different, then the book’s title would be misleading; however, the methods used in this book to help you pass the CCNP Switching exam are designed to also make you much more knowledgeable about how to do your job. While this book and the accompanying CD together have more than enough questions to help you prepare for the actual exam, the method in which they are used is not to simply make you memorize as many questions and answers as you possibly can.
The key approach used in this book is to help you discover the exam topics that you need to review in more depth, to help you fully understand and remember those details, and to help you prove to yourself that you have retained your knowledge of those topics. So this book does not try to help you pass by memorization but helps you truly learn and understand the topics. The Switching exam is just one of the foundation topics in the CCNP certification and the knowledge contained within is vitally important to consider yourself a truly skilled routing/switching engineer or specialist. This book would do you a disservice if it didn’t attempt to help you learn the material. To that end, the book will help you pass the Switching exam by using the following methods:
• Helping you discover which test topics you have not mastered
• Providing explanations and information to fill in your knowledge gaps
• Supplying exercises and scenarios that enhance your ability to recall and deduce the answers to test questions
• Providing practice exercises on the topics and the testing process via test questions on the CD
