Product Description

Product Description
Cisco Systems, Inc., is the largest manufacturer of networking systems in the world. It dominates the router and switch market to the extent that Cisco routers and switches are considered by many networking professionals to set the standard for all other companies.

Cisco routers, switches, and other equipment keep running without problems, are readily upgraded, are easily adapted to new network configurations, and are compatible with virtually every transport or access method.

Cisco Networking For Dummies, 2nd Edition, presents the facts, concepts, processes, and applications that Cisco network administrators need to know in step–by–step lists, tables, figures, and text – without long explanations. This easy–to–understand guide covers

  • Layering a Cisco network
  • Transporting data over the Internetwork
  • Routing and switching: inside and out
  • Working with WAN technologies
  • Designing your own network
  • Working with firewalls, proxies, and other safety measures

  • Transporting on Layer 4 interface
  • Wiring up a personal area network
  • Flying fast with UDP
  • Converting hexadecimal numbers
  • Subnetting a Class A network
  • Virtually segmenting the LAN
  • Mapping IPs to DLCIs
  • Working with IPX access lists

5.0 out of 5 stars It's Cisco ... but not just for Dummies !!, 20 Nov 2000
This is my first purchase from the Dummies range, and it certainly won't be the last. I work with computers every day and was looking of a way to get a good grasp on Cisco, whilst also hoping to improve my networking skills - this book has it all! Unlike most other computer 'bibles' this is actually quite entertaining to read, avoiding the countless diagrams and masses of technical jargon used elsewhere. If you are looking to get involved with Cisco, then this is for you (just don't be too embarrassed when caught reading a 'dummies' book!).

5.0 out of 5 stars Recommended, 2 Oct 2000
By A Customer
I read this book as an introduction to cisco, and it did the trick, it allows people with basic or little knowledge to get a grip with cisco, it has excellent diagrams which explain the various ideas of cisco.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read this book and be a Dummy no more, 19 April 2004
By David Moule (Essex, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Having worked with PABX's for many years the world of networking and VOIP seemed very daunting, but this book has been a Godsend. It explains what I had previously considered unfathomable subjects such as subnets and VLAN's in a concise, easy to understand way. It can't be considered as the only book You'll ever need to configure networks, but it's a great introduction - and no more will I be fobbed off by nitwits telling me if I can't ping it, it must be my fault!!
