Synopsis

This book is designed to meet the needs of a wide range of people. From those who want to enter the world of Computer Networks and want to start from the very basics, to those who are already implementing them and want to further expand their knowledge, on topics such as Network Security, Firewalls, VPNs and Cisco router configurations or simply want to have a reference book with plenty of practical examples on topics such as router interface configurations and routing protocols. The first part of the book, will start you working with the concepts of networking. The different types of networks are described, and the various protocols are presented. It deals with issues such as how networks are used in the workplace and what their advantages and limitations are.

The goal of the second part of the book is to give the reader a very deep understanding of the routing technologies and also though a plethora of practical examples the confidence to implement them on Cisco routers. Many tips and notes are included, so that a great number of common misunderstandings about IP routing technologies and Cisco routers are clarified.
