Hi Priscilla, I used that book amoung others for the exam that I took recently. I did not run into any switch configuration command questions on the test...only switching theory..but that does not mean someone else might not get a question like that. I guess it's my opinion that studying switch configs on paper is sufficient for the CCNA exam. Although Odom goes into more detail on many topics than is necessary for the exam...I'm glad I studied the topics because it is helping me see the bigger picture as I study for the BSCN exam.
In regards to the router sim...it does allow abbr. I used copy run start, Ctrl+Z and en. However, the simulation is rather buggy. I had trouble "telnetting" to the routers in the simulation. After trying various things for about 15 minutes it finally worked. Also...it did not save my configuration completely so I had to re-enter and do a copy run start a couple of times. I'm not sure about the Token Ring thing. Hope that helps.
