CCNA Practical Studies (Cisco Certification & Training)
Since Cisco manufactures much of the hardware underlying both  corporate LANs and the Internet, network professionals  appreciate material covering Cisco basics. Practical Studies  targets network professionals studying for their Cisco  Certification Network Assistant (CCNA) exam, focusing mostly on  the newer performance-based testing section. It provides  hands-on information about configuring and troubleshooting a  complex network using Cisco devices. Although the recommended  lab simulation equipment is pricey, the book can be used as a  study guide on its own; step-by-step resolutions of real-world  scenarios are helpful both as study aids and as practice for  network professionals. Complete Reference is a  professional-level source on configuring and troubleshooting  Cisco devices. Useful features include charts on product  characteristics/capabilities and an extensive appendix that summarizes Cisco  commands and refers back to lengthier chapter explanations. Both  titles are recommended for larger libraries where advanced  networking titles circulate.Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc.
