I’ve got a bunch of books on my shelf I’ve been meaning to review, but I really wanted to mention the CCNP BSCI Portable Command Guide. It was sent to me a few weeks ago and I’ve recently had the chance to go through it.
It’s a lot like O’Reilly’s cookbook series, but more concise. The inside front cover has a list of “I want to…” type statements, grouped by protocol, along with the page number. The pages inside have examples of command usage. What’s not to love?
This book is remarkable not for its study value, but for its helpfulness in the field. It’s a small book, both in page count and form (6×9). It’s got all the stuff you need to help jog your memory on routing commands. This one is going on my desk come Monday.
For some reason Cisco Press chose to offer a downloadable version for the same price. I can’t see the value of that. While people studying for BSCI won’t be hurt by having this book, it’s far more valuable for when you’re doing some work.
There are 3 others coming out for the remaining 3 exams. I’m looking forward to the switching one most of all…
