Learn Cisco Network Administration in a Month of Lunches is a tutorial designed for beginners who want to learn how to administer Cisco switches and routers. Just set aside one hour a day (lunchtime would be perfect) for a month, and you'll start learning practical Cisco Network administration skills faster than you ever thought possible.
about the technology
Cisco's ultrareliable routers and switches are the backbone of millions of networks, but "set and forget" is not an acceptable attitude. Fortunately, you don't have to be an old-time administrator to set up and maintain a Cisco-based network. With a handful of techniques, a little practice, and this book, you can keep your system in top shape.

This is one of the best technical books I've ever read. Ben clearly knows his stuff and, more importantly, how to teach it.
This is the Cisco networking book we've needed for a long time now. Highly recommended if you are looking to get started with Cisco networking.
A great book to get you up and running in no time.
If you just want to pass the exam, pick a different book. If you want to configure your Cisco equipment into a working network, this is the place to start.
