| VERY VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! |
Do you have one to three years of internetworking experience, are familiar with basic internetworking concepts, and have basic experience with the TCP/IP protocol? If you do, then this book is for you. Author Stephen McQuerry, has done an outstanding job of writing the third edition of a self-study book for those who are pursuing the CCNA certification.
McQuerry, begins with a brief review of the command structure that is used throughout the other chapters of the book. Then, the author explores the operation and configuration of LANs. The author also describes routing operations. He continues by looking at how to configure OSPF to act as a routing protocol within a network. Then, the author discusses the EIGRP routing protocol. Next, he discusses how access control lists are used in Cisco IOS to identify and filter traffic. The author continues by discussing the limitations of IPv4 address space, specifically that these addresses are running out. Finally, he describes how different sites can be connected across a wide-area network or using the Internet.
This most excellent book is intended as a self-study resource that covers the subjects on the 640-816 (ICND2 test) exam as well as the ICND2 material of the 640-802 (CCNA test) exam. Perhaps more importantly, this book should help you become literate in the use of switches, routers, and the associated protocols and technologies. |
