Carl,
I too have the switching book from Sean Odom and Doug Hammond. You are so
correct that it is far better than the Cisco Press Books. I looked for one
by Todd Lammle but he doesn't have one out yet. We are all trying to get
our CCNP 2.0 so that the company can keep it's Gold Partner certification
for purchasing discounts. We have been using the Switching Exam Prep and
passing the test without taking the BCMSN course.
Chapter 4 which you were talking about is worth the books price in itself.
I found it the cheapest on Fatbrain.com. I saw the Switching Black Book by
Sean Odom is coming out too and pre-ordered it on AMAZON. Also if you go to
Sean's website it shows that he has written the Routing Book with Todd
Lammle. His website is in the back of the book.
www.thequestforcertification.com <-could he make it any longer?

No offense to Thomas but Sean Odom and Doug Hammonds book is better
organized and spells things out much cleaner. Yes it covers everything
Thomas's book covers and more. There is even a very good chapter on ATM.
One of the biggest benefits is Chapter 4 which outlines every single switch,
and their features, available modules, ports, speeds, etc. It would take me
weeks to compile all this information. I wish someone would do that for
routers.
For those who have been asking what the book title and ISBN numeber is. The
Switching Exam Prep, by Coriolis. The author is Sean Odom and Doug Hammond.
ISBN number 1-157610-689-6. It is a good book!
