| OverviewAuthorized preparation materials for CCIE candidates.
Prepare for the CCIE lab exam while mastering essential
protocols and technologies Learn new design and configuration strategies for ATM, IP
multicasting, network management, switching architectures, CIP, and
network security Implement practical networking techniques to build scalable,
reliable, and secure networks Learn to identify key technologies and appropriate
implementations for your internetwork design Isolate and solve problems easier with detailed configuration
examples and case studies
Cisco CCIE Fundamentals: Network Design and Case Studies,
Second Edition offers a comprehensive collection of updated
configuration scenarios and design recommendations. By reading this
book, you will gain insight into the implementation of practical
internetworking strategies, identify features and capabilities of
routers and switches, and begin the process of mastering the
technologies and protocols necessary to become an effective Cisco
Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE).
This two-part book is the compilation of design and
configuration examples authored and previously released by Cisco
Systems. Numerous subject matter experts have revised and
restructured each chapter and added coverage of several new
topics.
The design guide portion of this book is intended to support the
network engineer who designs and implements router-based or
switched internetworks. Practical design recommendations include
coverage of large-scale networks with IGPs and BGP, ATM, APPN,
DLSw+, DDR, ISDN, LAN switching, multicast networks, and more. The
case study portion of this book presents real-world configurations
that complement the design material. Implementation and
troubleshooting advice is offered for EIGRP and OSPF
redistribution, ATM, DDR, ISDN, network security, and HSRP. Editorial ReviewsProduct Description Cisco Systems offers levels of certification that correspond directly to individuals' particular needs and where they are in their career development. CCIE (Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert) is one of these certification programs; it is viewed as the highest level of networking expert certifications in the industry. In addition to the baseline internetworking knowledge covered in the recommended training courses, Cisco suggests that the key to success on the CCIE exam is several years of practical field experience combined with a structured self-study program. CCIE Fundamentals: Network Design and Case Studies, Second Edition provides a comprehensive collection of configuration scenarios and design recommendations tailored for CCIE preparation. Each chapter is a self-contained solution that presents insights into the implementation of practical networking strategies flexible enough to fit a variety of situations. | Amazon.com ReviewFor a sophisticated view of networking design concepts that goes from lofty to granular in the blink of an eye, Network Design and Case Studies is a sure winner. This mammoth entry in Cisco's growing collection of reference books provides equal parts academic theory and practical application. The first half of the book deals exclusively with design, starting with an explanation of the three types of networks (campus, wide area, and remote connections). The book outlines the design trends governing those networks today and explains the devices used to create them and their functions, as well as effective ways to integrate the three. The remaining chapters veer off into more specific network types, such as Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), Internet Protocol (IP), and Switched LAN, and the equipment and protocols best suited for those situations. The second half of this volume is dedicated to real-word problem solving. The 11 "case study" chapters focus on particularly sticky issues--such as Routing Information Protocol (RIP) and Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) redistribution, reducing Service Advertising Protocol (SAP) traffic in Novell Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) networks, and User Datagram Protocol (UDP) broadcast flooding--and propose configuration solutions to fix them. As usual, this books holds the requisite flood of appendices; however, in this instance the "Reference and Recommended Reading" entry is undoubtedly the most useful. --Sarah L. Roberts-Witt |

Reader Reviews From Amazon (Ranked by 'Helpfulness') Average Customer Rating: based on 13 reviews. not so good as most people's review, 2003-06-18 Reviewer rating: in fact, it just explains more deeperly than the ccnp routing book and don't get the step that expounds the routing protocols throughout. with all other cisco books , they are only technologies guide. | Good Book - but not study material, 2001-01-31 Reviewer rating: This is definately not a book to use to study for your CCIE, but it contains an amazing amount of information on a wealth of different topics from Routing protocols(including BGP4), APPN, SNA, ATM, Multicast, etc. It will sit on my desk as a great reference. | Case studies - nothing more., 2000-11-14 Reviewer rating: It's really just a case studies book. If you want to look at typical examples how people use Cisco equipment - it's a right choice. But if you want to dig deeper in some particular area, or if you want to learn networking background you should read something else. I like this way to explain purpose of this book. Let's imagine you met a good Cisco guy and he let you stand behind him and watch how he does his job for a little bit. You can grab some tricks, get some vision of the process, but he is not trying to teach you. It's a good addition to the strong theoretical background but not a replacement. | Want to design a Cisco Internetwork? This book is for you, 2000-02-23 Reviewer rating: Full of some very usefull case studies, this book has good approach towards network design. As a candidate for CCNP, I used this book to get some additional knowledge, from a practical point of view. | Not CCIE stuff, 1999-10-29 Reviewer rating: An O.K book for starters and who want to get to know a bit about N/W design. But, it's too non-technical to be of any use to designers. Definitely, not CCIE level. Not worth buying if you can get same info from cisco web-site |
