Acknowledgments
There are many people that work to put a book together, and as an author, I dedicated an
enormous amount of time to write this book, but it would have never been published with-
out the dedicated, hard work of many other people.
Monica Worthy Lammle was crucial to the fnished product this book became, going
over every word of every chapter with me to fne-tune the language and grammar. Without
Monica’s support in all areas of my life, I’d never have fnished writing this book.
Next in line to thank is my new technical editor, John Swartz, who also coauthored
the CCNA Data Center study guides with me. His expertise in the Cisco technical feld,
and his history of networking in general, is second to none. His detailed analysis of my
work helped make this my best CCNA study guide ever. Thank you, John, for working
hard under pressure, with tight deadlines, and for staying the course of delivering high-
quality work in a short time frame.
Jeff Kellum, my acquisitions editor, is instrumental to my success in the world of Cisco
certifcation. Jeff, I look forward to our continued progress together.
Christine O’Connor, my production editor, and Judy Flynn, my copyeditor, were my
rock and foundation for formatting an intense editing of every page in this book. This
amazing team gives me the confdence to help keep me moving during the diffcult and very
long days, week after week. How Christine stays so organized with all my changes, as well
as making sure every fgure is in the right place in the book is still a mystery to me! You’re
amazing, Christine! Thank you! Judy understands my writing style so well now, after doing
at least a dozen books with me, that she even sometimes fnds a technical error that may
have slipped through as I was going through the material. Thank you Judy for doing such
a great job! I truly thank you both.
Troy McMillian really helped me on this book (on all books actually!) by working on
the review and bonus questions, fash cards, as well as a 3rd technical edit on the last stage
of editing. He did a high-quality job in a short time! Thanks, Troy! Jim Frey and Paul
Sutton really helped me put together this book’s amazing fgures, and an all-around second-
look technical edit. Thank you both!
Also, thanks to Dax Mickelson and Dennis Frye for performing the technical proofread
of the book.
Finally, a big thanks to Craig Woods at Happenstance-Type-O-Rama and to the Sybex
media-development team.
