Building Cisco Scalable Networks (McGraw-Hill Technical Expert) Book

Cisco is one of the most prominent suppliers of networking systems equipment, and it certifies technical experts who acquire the skills to build, improve and repair Cisco networks for customers. Just as many auto mechanics specialise in a particular make of car, there are experts who immerse themselves in the lore of Cisco networks, and how to make them hum. BSCN Building Scalable Cisco Networks is written for one who aspires to such expertise, as a companion to the "BSCN" certification examination provided by Cisco, leading to qualification as a CCNP. However as a prerequisite, the reader should have a good working knowledge of a Cisco router and the OSI model.The book is a well-organised text, introducing and outlining routing technologies and techniques for appropriately scaling a network. Bound into the book is a CD containing FastTrak Express--special examination software that will assemble and administer a multiple-choice test to test your comprehension and highlight areas where you need revision.Though the information contained in this course companion is technical, and specific to Cisco systems, it is still a valuable read for one who desires to learn about scaleable networks. With its clear tutorial style (objectives are set and declared at the beginning of each chapter), its numerous case studies and its minor quiz after each section, Building Scalable Cisco Networks is an essential companion study piece for the "BSCN" course and a good general reference for Cisco network users. --Wilf HeyRead More
