Cisco CCIE Fundamentals: Network Design and Case Studies
Kahn · 1999
From the Book: In today's networking environment, protocols and services are being added constantly, making it more and more complex to design and implement large-scale networks. The demands for organizations and individuals to maintain and optimally run these networks requires networking expertise. The Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE) program has been in the forefront in providing the expertise for the design and implementation of large-scale networks. The basic criteria to design and implement a large-scale network is to have an in-depth knowledge of networking protocols and services transported. CCIE Fundamentals: Network Design and Case Studies, Second Edition is an excellent CCIE preparation tool that covers in-depth analysis of IP, IBM, IPX, and ISDN protocols. An understanding of all these protocols is required to pass the CCIE exam. The best part about this book is that it covers issues such as convergence, route selection, topologies, and design issues. The case studies take these concepts a step further by providing configuration examples.
