Mastering your Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP SWITCH) exam is one of the most important steps you’ll ever take on the path to becoming a true Cisco professional..
CCNP certification is awarded to candidates in the CISCO professional program when they pass the SWITCH,ROUTE and TSHOOT exams.

With your CCNP certification, you are fully licensed to install, configure and troubleshoot Local and Wide Area Networks (WANs) enterprise networks. If you are CCNP certified you have demonstrated the skills required in enterprise roles like network technician, support engineer, systems engineer of network engineer.
The bottom line?
If you want to become a fully certified Cisco professional, you NEED to master the CCNP SWITCH syllabus and earn your CCNP SWITCH certification.
If you're new to IT, you might have found the CCNP SWITCH subject matter tough.
It can take months to learn the entire CCNP SWITCH syllabus in the classroom, and even then, many students have trouble with the material.
The problem is, most teachers emphasize only the HOW of the computer networking principles covered, not the WHY.
That's why I wrote "How to Master CCNP SWITCH". Unlike classroom approaches, this book shows you HOW and WHY you're doing what you're doing.
I explain each and every principle to you in clear, concise, easy-to-understand terms, so when you read the guide, it's like you're sitting there getting a personsal 1-to-1 consultation from me.
Much more than just a set of commands you have to memorize, “How To Master CCNP SWITCH” is a complete and comprehensive education in CCNP SWITCH theory, practice and implementation. I explain to you exactly HOW everything works, and WHY it works. Starting with CCNP SWITCH theory, I walk you through the entire CCNP SWITCH syllabus, until you thoroughly comprehend everything you need to know in order to get pass your CCNP SWITCH exam. It’s the perfect written supplement to the hands-on training I offer in my free CCNP labs.
What You’ll Learn Inside How To Master CCNP SWITCH:
"How to Master CCNP SWITCH" covers the entire CCNP SWITCH syllabus from start to finish.
In the main text of the book, i'll thoroughly explain and illustrathe the following topics to you. Covering all the subject areas to be tested on the CCNP SWITCH exam, they include:
- VLANs and Trunking: Why do we use VLANs, Why and how do we configure trunks, what is the difference between 802.1Q and ISL.
- Private VLANs: How and why do use Private VLANs to further segment our VLANs into secondary VLANs.
- Spanning-Tree: The basics of spanning-tree, how we elect a root bridge and you will learn how our switches select which interfaces will be forwarding or blocking traffic.
- Rapid Spanning-Tree: The difference between classic and Rapid Spanning-Tree, you will learn why Rapid Spanning-Tree is so much faster.
- MST (Multiple Spanning-Tree): How and why you should use Multiple Spanning Tree to reduce the number of Spanning-Tree calculations.
- Spanning-Tree Toolkit: I'll teach you how to speed up Spanning-Tree and how to protect it against hackers, loops and configuration errors.
- Routing between VLANs: One of the topics you'll learn in CCNP SWITCH is how to route between VLANS on your multilayer switches.
- Gateway Redundancy (VRRP, GLBP and HSRP): You need to understand how to configure a virtual gateway and the difference between VRRP, GLBP and HSRP, and i'll explain it to you in the simplest terms possible!
- Switch Security: You will learn how to configure your switches against hackers attacking your DHCP servers, performing ARP poisoning and how to use access-lists within VLANs.
- How to run VoIP and Video on your switched network: Part of being a CCNP certified professional is understanding how to configure your switches so voice and video traffic will run without any issues.
- Wireless Networking: I will show you how the Cisco wireless infrastructure works, how wireless controllers and light-weight access points work and how you should configure your switches to support wireless.

I would like to know if this book is printable; I ask for because I bought a PDF book in a CCIE vendor and I realized that the book was protected and I couldn't print it. I told them that I would like to print the book just for reading so they allowed me to print once and no more, so the file can't be printed anymore. So I need to know if your file has some protection before I buy your book.
Thanks in advance for your answer!!!
Rene Molenaar
Thanks for your comment. The ebook is protected so you can't edit it but printing is no problem at all. You can print as many copies as you like :)

Does your book cover all the subjects concerning CCNP Switch Exam So it's not necessary to read another book ?
Rene Molenaar
It sure does, the only topic I need to update is "CEF" (Cisco Express Forwarding). I do believe if you read this book and do a LOT of labs you'll be able to pass the exam.

I just bought "how to Master the CCNA" and it's a great book. I would like to purchase the CCNP Route and CCNP Switch books but this may not be possible without a discount from you. I'd be very grateful.
Lastly, do you plan to release a CCNP TSHOOT book anytime soon?
Rene Molenaar
Thanks for your message. I just sent you an e-mail.
I'm working on the TSHOOT book now, it'll take 3-4 weeks before it's finished.
Rene
Brandon
If you have any samples of the TSHOOT book that you could email me that would be great. I bought both the CCNP ROUTE and SWITCH books and they are both great.
Rene Molenaar
As soon as I have it I'll make sure you get to see it. Thanks for buying the ROUTE and SWITCH books, it's great to hear that you enjoyed them!

If you want to become a master of networking you'll have to do two things:
1) Read all the theory about theer different protocols on switches and routers.
2) Apply the knowledge you learned by doing "labs" so you can gain experience working with switches and routers.
It's best to start with CCNA and I would suggest to try the exam. After passing CCNA I would suggest doing CCNP. That should keep you busy for awhile!
If you have any questions please let me know, it's best to post them in the forum.

I want to learn swithching from the beginning.I dont have any knowledge about swithching. Is your ccnp switch book enough to get that vast knowledge.
Rene Molenaar
My CCNP SWITCH book will be very helpful but sometimes I do assume that you have the "ccna" knowledge on switching so it might be useful to read the CCNA first. I'm afraid if you dive into the CCNP material right away you'll feel confused sometimes...

I want to buy CCNP Route ans Switch book. Also would like to know whether you have got CCIE R&S Writen and Lab stuff?
Rene Molenaar
I'm looking forward to your purchase, keep in mind if you want both books you can use the following link and get some discount:
http://gns3vault.com/item/how-to-master-ccnp-route-switch.html
I would love to create CCIE R&S related material but it will be in the future. It takes time and CCIE has way more content than CCNA and CCNP together...
Rene
David Boyle
I am studying for my CCNP switch exam right now and I can not tell you how helpful not only your labs have been. In addition I puchased your CCNP Switch book and after reading the Cisco press material your book is a breath of fresh air. The explanations are much more clear and the diagrams and examples are far more helpful.
I highly recommend this book for anyone wiring the 642-813 exam. The price of this book is a gift in comparison to what it could be priced at.
Cheers

May i know if i could get hard copies of your books instead and how much i have to pay for that. Many thanks
Rene Molenaar
It depends on where you live. At the moment I haven't been offering hard books because of printing and international shipping. If you send me an e-mail we might be able to arrange something ok?

I currently only offer these books as "Ebooks". After payment you will have immediate download access. Because of printing + international shipping it's too expensive at the moment to sell "physical" books for me.

May I know is both hardcopy book and ebook include of the price of "How to master CCNP switch". I live in Hong Kong
Thanks!

I've just bought your ccnp sw book.I've been looking over the book.
It's so clear and there are detailed examples.
Thank you for giving an opportunity to study with your materials.
I think this book is better and more clear than cisco press's book.
It's wonderful.
Congratulations....
