Cisco continues to dominate the internetworking market, and Cisco’s range of professional certifications
continue to be amongst the most highly respected in the business. Recently, Cisco developed the
Cisco Certified Internetwork Professional (CCIP) certification to address the growing needs in the telecommunications
and service provider industries for individuals competent in infrastructure or access
solutions in a Cisco internetworking environment. Sybex expects the CCIP program to be well received,
both by companies seeking qualified technical staff and by the IT training community.
We’re proud to have helped thousands of Cisco certification candidates prepare for their exams over
the years, and we are excited about the opportunity to continue to provide computer and networking
professionals with the skills they’ll need to succeed in the highly competitive IT industry.
The author and editors have worked hard to ensure that the Study Guide you hold in your hand is
comprehensive, in-depth, and pedagogically sound. We’re confident that this book will exceed the
demanding standards of the certification marketplace and help you, the Cisco certification candidate,
succeed in your endeavors.
As always, your feedback is important to us. Please send comments, questions, or suggestions to
support@sybex.com. At Sybex we’re continually striving to meet the needs of individuals preparing
for IT certification exams.
Good luck in pursuit of your CCNP/CCIP certification!
