Cisco CCDA

Cisco CCDA Preparation Library is a boxed set of three books. It contains two books that comprise Cisco's suggested training path for the new CCDA exam: Internetworking Technologies Handbook, Second Edition and Designing Cisco Networks, along with the CCDA Exam Certification Guide.

The ITH and DCN books provide the requisite early training that CCDA candidates must receive to be up to speed on exam topics, and the Certification Guide is developed for comprehensive yet concise late-stage exam preparation.
