Synopsis

There are no books available that can compete with the actual Cisco training courseware provided in this book!

• Prepare for CCDA certification while mastering the network design process
• Learn to characterize existing networks and determine new customer requirements
• Develop appropriate network topologies for various environments
• Design device naming schemes and IP and IPX addressing schemes
• Understand how to selet the best routing and bridging protocols and provision software featues and hardware for LANs and WANs
• Learn how to create design documents and build prototypes and pilots
• Optimize your network with valuable information on PIX firewalls, router performance, ISDN, and Windows NT

Improving network security based on the Cisco System instructor-led and self-study course available worldwide, Designing Cisco Networks teaches you how to become proficient in network design methodologies. Created for those seeking to attain CCDA certification, this book focuses on small- to medium-sized networks and provides a step-by-step process to follow when designing internetworks to ensure that all important issues are considered, resulting in optimal network design. By using this book you will be able to identify customer needs, design LAN and WAN network structures, create network management strategies, write design documents, and build and test prototypes and pilots.

Filled with case studies, procedures, charts, and checklists, Designing Cisco Networks will help you understand how to analyze and solve existing network problems while building a framework that supports the functionality, performance, and scalability required of any given environment. Self-assessment through exercises and chapter-ending tests starts you down the path for attaining your CCDA certification.
