Interconnecting Cisco network devices

"Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices provides you with the knowledge needed to identify and recommend the best Cisco solutions for small to medium-sized businesses. This book teaches you how to perform all the basic configuration procedures to build a multirouter, multigroup internetwork that uses LAN and WAN interfaces for the most commonly used routing and routed protocols." "This book provides the installation, configuration, and troubleshooting information required to install and configure Cisco products. You will learn the fundamentals of interconnecting Cisco network devices in five modules: getting started with Cisco networks (assembling, cabling, operating, configuring, and managing devices), interconnecting Catalyst switches (fundamental switch operations and VLAN configuration), interconnecting Cisco routers (TCP/IP, IP routing, traffic management, and IPX configuration), extending the network to WANs (serial point-to-point connections, ISDN BRI, and Frame Relay PVC connections), and supplemental appendixes (AppleTalk, HyperTerminal, Cisco 700 series routers, and password recovery techniques). Each chapter concludes with questions to help you assess your understanding of key concepts and start you down the path for attaining your CCNA certification."--Jacket.
