The only authorized Exam Certification guide based on the new CCNA ICND 640-811 exam from Cisco Systems. In June 2003, Cisco introduced the new CCNA 640-801 exam, replacing the 640-607 version. They also introduced a new two-exam path to CCNA attainment, consisting of the ICND 640-811 and INTRO 640-821 exams. These exams are aligned to the two new courses recommended for CCNA study, Introduction to Cisco Networking Technologies (INTRO) and Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices (ICND). These represent the knowledge that a networking professional must master to succeed on the CCNA exam. Candidates can now elect to take the single CCNA exam, or the ICND and INTRO exams to attain their CCNA certification. CCNA ICND Exam Certification Guide (CCNA Self-Study), the only Cisco authorized exam preparation guide and the newest in the No. 1 selling line of CCNA products, incorporates many new product features to improve the reader experience. The book and companion CD-ROM are created in a more modular fashion, breaking down concepts into smaller, easier to absorb blocks of information. The CD-ROM testing engine also includes an all-new testing engine complete with simulation-based and INTRO questions for comprehensive preparation. Finally, the CD-ROM includes the NetSim for CCNA Learning Edition networking simulation software that allows students to practice the lab scenarios in the book on a simulated network environment, gaining valuable hands-on experience.
