Description
Pick up where certification exams leave off. With this practical, in-depth guide to all the network infrastructure, you’ll learn to care for real Cisco networks, fairly than the hypothetical situations presented on exams like the CCNA. Network Warrior takes you step-by-step through the world of routers, switches, firewalls, and other technologies based on the creator’s extensive field experience. You’ll be able to find new content for MPLS, IPv6, VoIP, and wireless in this completely revised second edition, at the side of examples of Cisco Nexus 5000 and 7000 switches right through.
