Mike Meyers' Network+ Certification Passport Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This was my first venture into the Passport series. The book is quite readable and provides what amounts to a whirlwind tour of most of the objectives of the exam. For vetarans in the field, the book will provide a pretty good refresher, should fill most gaps, and should give you confidence in your own knowledge to pass the exam.
This book most certainly is not for the new tech treading in unfamiliar waters. The book does not treat any area in great detail, and in fact misses more than a half-dozen of the objectives on which the Network+ exam tests. In particular, the book mentions little if anything on the following:
802.2 (LLC)
AppleTalk
POP3/IMAP4
RARP
NTP
VLANs
SOHO Networks (particularly troubleshooting DSL and Cable)
The book itself admits that it is Microsoft-centric because the Network+ exam is that way, but you will get burned by the non-Microsoft questions if you have no other experience or reference. If you are new to the field and are looking to this book as your only resource, it certainly will fool you in thinking you will be prepared to be successful on the Network+ exam. The questions offered in the text are considerably simpler than those you will see on the real exam. The questions offered on the CD are a little closer but still too simple. I strongly suggest additional material (a comprehensive study guide from your favorite publisher, as they are all very good anymore) and a stronger exam prep simulator (...).
The book does the best it can in fewer than 400 pages, but unless you are a network veteran you will need more support to pass the exam.
