Complete Tables from Memory:
Instead of just rereading an important table of 
information, you will find some tables have been turned into memory tables, an inter-
active exercise found on the companion website. Memory tables repeat the table, 
but with parts of the table removed. You can then fill in the table to exercise your 
memory, and click to check your work.
■
Key Terms You Should Know:
You do not need to be able to write a formal defini-
tion of all terms from scratch; however, you do need to understand each term well 
enough to understand exam questions and answers. The Chapter Review lists the key 
terminology from the chapter. Make sure you have a good understanding of each 
term and use the Glossary to cross-check your own mental definitions. You can also 
review key terms with the “Key Terms Flashcards” app on the companion website.

Labs:
Many exam topics use verbs such as 
configure
and 
verify
; all these refer 
to skills you should practice at the user interface (CLI) of a router or switch. The 
Chapter and Part Reviews refer you to these other tools. The upcoming section titled 
“About Building Hands-On Skills” discusses your options.
■
Command References:
Some book chapters cover a large number of router and 
switch commands. The Chapter Review includes reference tables for the commands 
used in that chapter, along with an explanation. Use these tables for reference, but 
also use them for study. Just cover one column of the table, and see how much you 
can remember and complete mentally.
■
Review DIKTA Questions:
Although you have already seen the DIKTA questions 
from the chapters, re-answering those questions can prove a useful way to review 
facts. The Part Review suggests that you repeat the DIKTA questions but using the 
Pearson Test Prep (PTP) exam.
