Cisco CCIE Fundamentals: Network Design & Case Studies
- For a sophisticated view of networking design concepts that goes from lofty to granular in the blink of an eye, Network Design and Case Studies is a sure winner. This mammoth entry in Cisco's growing collection of reference books provides equal parts academic theory and practical application.
The first half of the book deals exclusively with design, starting with an explanation of the three types of networks (campus, wide area, and remote connections). The book outlines the design trends governing those networks today and explains the devices used to create them and their functions, as well as effective ways to integrate the three. The remaining chapters veer off into more specific network types, such as Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), Internet Protocol (IP), and Switched LAN, and the equipment and protocols best suited for those situations.
The second half of this volume is dedicated to real-word problem solving. The 11 "case study" chapters focus on particularly sticky issues--such as Routing Information Protocol (RIP) and Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) redistribution, reducing Service Advertising Protocol (SAP) traffic in Novell Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) networks, and User Datagram Protocol (UDP) broadcast flooding--and propose configuration solutions to fix them.

THE CCIE STUDY GUIDE
- An undeniably complex and difficult process, passing tests for the Cisco Certified Internetworking Expert (CCIE) certification requires unparalleled, in-depth knowledge. In The Cisco CCIE Study Guide, Roosevelt Giles provides you with help on the five test-subject areas (three are needed to pass, along with a lab test, which the book does not cover). By covering the broad strokes of networking and the dauntingly obscure details of many network protocols, Giles comprehensively explains Cisco technology. The chapters are organized around networking topics such as TCP/IP, data link switching, asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), and Novell NetWare. Each chapter concludes with a set of sample questions. You may find that you disagree with the answers to the questions given at the back of the book, but keep in mind that the tests reflect Cisco's viewpoint on all the technology.

CCIE Professional Development: Routing Tcp/Ip
- The author Jeff Doyle writes: CCIE Professional Development: Routing TCP/IP, Volume I is useful for far more than just preparing for your CCIE exam. The book can be used by anyone managing or troubleshooting a routed network-- even if your routers are not Ciscos! The book features many hard-to-find details on protocols such as IGRP and Integrated IS-IS, and Cisco has allowed me to publish details of EIGRP which have heretofore never been publicly disclosed. And although there are several books on OSPF, very few cover the protocol from both a technical and practical view in the depth that this book does. this is one of the best of the best -- a platinum (multi-reviewer) five star book and LAN TCP/IP Best Seller

OSPF Network Design Solutions
- OSPF Network Solutions presents a detailed, applied look into the workings of the popular Open Shortest Path First protocol, helping readers understand how to dramatically increase network performance, security, and the ease with which large-scale networks are maintained. The technology is presented in common terms, allowing users of varying levels of experience to benefit.
Through the discussions of its strengths and weaknesses, OSPF is thoroughly explained through exhaustive coverage of network design, deployment, and management. Starting with network technology foundations, the opening chapters cover IP addressing, routing, various distance vector and link state protocols, and network protocol selection. Subsequent chapters delve into the details of OSPF routing and network design, discussing OSPF convergence, design guidelines, area design considerations, route selection, and VLSM, in addition to advanced design concepts such as designing OSPF on-demand circuits, OSPF redistribution, configuration commands, and error messages. Later chapters focus on implementation and troubleshooting issues, stepping through network design methodology, providing a wealth of configuration details for different network types and area parameters, and revealing troubleshooting tips not found anywhere else.

Cisco Router OSPF : Design and Implementation Guide (Cisco Technical Expert)
- Cisco Router OSPF: Design & Implementation Guide is a blueprint for both understanding and using the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol, as well as other prominent routing protocols. According to the author, an understanding of the OSPF is crucial to successfully passing the Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE) exam. A former professor at Wichita State University and a survivor of the CCIE program himself, William Parkhurst imbues the text with an approachable and pragmatic tone. He amply stocks the book with clear explanations of various networking principles and practice exercises. And as any good teacher would, he even supplies the answers in the book's appendix (all the while imploring his reader-students to practice, practice, practice).
Though Parkhurst's ultimate goal is to provide a working knowledge of how to operate and configure the OSPF protocol on Cisco routers, he takes his time in getting there, providing several chapters worth of useful, educational diversion. The book begins with an overview of routing and bridging basics, moves into an explanation of Ethernet and its role in the networking world, and delves into other protocols. In particular, he covers the Routing Information Protocol (RIP), the Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP), Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), and OSPF. All of these chapters also contextually detail the configuration commands, and Parkhurst includes a section on how to ensure harmonious interaction between these protocols. A must-have for anyone interested in the CCIE program and in Information Protocol (IP) routing,

Advanced Cisco Router Configuration
- Another in Cisco's Certification and Training series, Advanced Cisco Router Configuration (ACRC) picks up where Introduction to Cisco Router Configuration leaves off. Like its sister publication, this book is intended to accompany a like-named Cisco class and provides chapter-ending tests as well as a profusion of diagrams, configuration commands, charts, and such.
However, this volume's six sections tackle more complex topics with an emphasis on network traffic and connectivity issues. Instead of basic internetworking, scalability--particularly in terms of the router--is the idea driving these pages. By this, editor Laura Chappell simply means building a network that is able to expand, while requiring only minor interventions and additions. This leads to another strength of the book: underlying concepts are effectively outlined in the introductory chapter of each section, thereby establishing a context for the remainder of the discussion.
After getting the notion of scalability out of the way, the authors clearly discuss traffic congestion and ways to manage and solve it on Internet Protocol (IP) and Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) networks. They follow with an explanation of which protocol to deploy, be it Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP), or Routing Information Protocol (RIP). Also covered is dialup connectivity for remote users and for wide-area connections, as well as how to bridge nonrouted services, such as Data Link Switching.

CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate Study Guide
- An impressive offering, CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate Study Guide does a terrific job of making networking basics approachable. Though written for those already familiar with technology, it nonetheless manages to clearly explain what makes networks work without undercutting their inherent complexity. Authors Lammle and Chellis set the stage by going through such fundamentals as local area network (LAN) devices, the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model, and various data transport protocols. From there, the book delves into such topics as network congestion--what causes it and what to do about it--Internet protocol (IP) addressing and subnetting, interior routing protocols, and basic routing configuration.
As is characteristic of any quality study guide, each chapter ends with a summary followed by a mountain of review questions, which are good practice for the written CCNA exam. Answers are listed in one of the six appendices, which also cover AppleTalk and related Request for Comments (RFCs). In addition, this book contains a fantastic 116-page glossary--again, a terrific feature for networking newcomers. An added bonus is the bundled CD-ROM that holds the SureCert CCNA Exam Prep Program as well as the Visio Network Professional and Network Equipment package, useful for testing out newly minted network-design skills
