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 without the dedicated, hard work of many other people.
Monica Worthy Lammle was crucial to the finished product this book became, going over every word of every chapter with me to fine-tune the language and grammar. Without Monicas support in all areas of my life, Id never have finished writing this book.
Next in line to thank is my new technical editor, John Swartz, who also co-authored the CCNA Data Center study guides with me. His expertise in the Cisco technical field and his deep understanding 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 certification. Jeff, I look forward to our continued progress together.
Christine OConnor, my production editor, and Judy Flynn, my copyeditor, were my rock and foundation for formatting and intense editing of every page in this book. This amazing team gives me the confidence to help keep me moving during the difficult and very long days, week after week. How Christine stays so organized with all my changes as well as making sure every figure is in the right place in the book is still a mystery to me! Youre 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 finds 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, flash cards, as well as a third 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 also really helped me put together this books amazing figures, and all-around second-look technical edit. Thank you both!
