CCNP Practical Studies:Troubleshooting (CCNP Self-Study)Description |
Practical Lab Scenarios for hands-on experience for Cisco certification exams. Built upon the concepts central to their respective Cisco Systems certification exams, these practical guides shows networking students how to apply the theoretical knowledge for both exam preparation and improved concept comprehension. The scenarios guide students through exercies designed for use on networking labs. They can also be practiced on remote-accessible networking labs, networking simulation programs, and can even help provide real-world insight to students with no immediate access to such equipment. The ability to understand the implementation of concepts is valuable to the students in both comprehension and retention. It also better prepares them for their workplace job demands. With Cisco Systems including simulation based questions to most of their new exams, the hands-on expertise that these labs provide is also invaluable to a certification candidate's success. For those schools with limited or no lab equipment to practice on, Practical Studies titles highlight the steps needed to accomplish various crucial tasks, providing concrete examples for the challenges faced in real-world configurat. For those with lab equipment, the scenarios provide instruction on how to assemble the lab, and then execute the scenario in a step-by-step fashion.  |
