Product Description
Book Description
Everything you need to know that wasn't on the CCNA exam
Product Description
Pick up where certification exams leave off. With this practical, in-depth guide to the entire network infrastructure, you’ll learn how to deal with real Cisco networks, rather than the hypothetical situations presented on exams like the CCNA. Network Warrior takes you step by step through the world of routers, switches, firewalls, and other technologies based on the author's extensive field experience. You'll find new content for MPLS, IPv6, VoIP, and wireless in this completely revised second edition, along with examples of Cisco Nexus 5000 and 7000 switches throughout.
Topics include:
- An in-depth view of routers and routing
- Switching, using Cisco Catalyst and Nexus switches as examples
- SOHO VoIP and SOHO wireless access point design and configuration
- Introduction to IPv6 with configuration examples
- Telecom technologies in the data-networking world, including T1, DS3, frame relay, and MPLS
- Security, firewall theory, and configuration, as well as ACL and authentication
- Quality of Service (QoS), with an emphasis on low-latency queuing (LLQ)
- IP address allocation, Network Time Protocol (NTP), and device failures

Format:Paperback
A very useful guide to anyone who have to deal with computer networks or manage network devices. It isn't for inexperieced users, but I recommend it to everyone who would like to know more details about networks to become more familiar with it.
The book is aimed from the same idea suggested by Gary Donahue in managing networks: a network might be very hard to manage and understand as it size increase. So, the best thing you can do is trying to keep everything as simplest as possible.
The result is a good reference book, well written and easy to read and understand. Figures too are very clear and well explained. It contains a lot of useful suggestion on how to administrate a network and about all the activities related to it (e.g. PART VIII, "Designing Networks": Chapter 34 about "IP Design" it's AMAZING!).
Also, the book is well organized, because each one of eight parts that compose the book is splitted in few chapters well focussed on a single topic. This made the book easy to use if you are looking for a specific subject.
I'm studying about Network Security, so I appreciated very much Section V - "Security and Firewalls". Above all, Chapter 25 contains a very clear explanation about DeMilitarized Zone supplied with a lot of figures (the book contains too some suggestions to draw network schemes).
I never found a network book good like this so I wish you have to put it in your library!

This book is a very useful thing to have to hand for when your mind goes blank on the basics of something you don't use every day, but also for an overview of something usually neglected in such works: the business liason side of being an IT professional.
It's very Cisco orientated, but that's no surprise, given Cisco's market penetration, nor is it a terribly bad thing...I suppose it just reflects the way the world is. The only time it really grated on me was regards firewalls and server load balancers, since Cisco's offerings in these spaces suck like a Dyson on steroids (Mr. Donohue's praise for the late, unlamented Local Director series, for example, is very puzzling to me - but each to their own, I guess). However, it would have been nice for it to be a bit more platform-agnostic, I think. Also, BGP gets no more than a passing nod, really, and for that critically important protocol to be dismissed with what boils down to "Well, you probably won't need to config BGP unless you work for an ISP" is a bit weak.
Apart from that, pretty good.

Excellant book, very 'tight' and to the point. Certainly much more concise than the Sybex/Cisco press books that you might be used to. A very useful real-world guide.

Great book on CISCO networking
This is a great book for those who need to get started configuring CISCO networks. I don't suppose it will not get you through a CCIE exam nor is it intended to but it will enable... Read more
