Cisco Networks: Engineers' Handbook of Routing, Switching

Introduction

Engineers' Handbook of Routing, Switching


    Do you want to become a better and more efficient network engineer? If you answered yes to that question, then Cisco Networks: Engineers’ Handbook of Routing, Switching, and Security with IOS, NX-OS, and ASA is for you. You will learn intermediate and advanced concepts of configuring, managing, and troubleshooting Cisco networks. Most chapters provide examples of configuring network devices and include exercises to reinforce the concepts that were covered. Each exercise also includes a step-by-step solution to the question, in the event you are not able to solve the problem.

    This book is meant to be a configuration guide, not geared toward certifications, with an emphasis on solving real-world day-to-day challenges. Although this book is not focused on certifications, readers will learn the skills and concepts needed to pass Cisco CCENT, CCNA, and CCNP certification exams. Readers will also learn how to build and configure at-home labs using virtual machines and lab exercises to practice advanced Cisco commands.
