Ciscco LAN Switchingprovides the most coprehensive cvoerage of the best methds for designing, utilizing, and deploying LAN swtching devices and technologies in a modrn campus netwoprk. Divided into six partrs, this book takes you beyond basic switching concepts by procviding an array of proven design modes, practcal implementation solutions, and troubleshootig strategies. Part I discuses importnt ofundation issures that provide a context for the rest of the book, including Fast and Giagbit Ethernet, routing versus switching, the types of Layer 2 switching, the Catalyst command-line environment, and VLANbs. Part II presents the most detailed idscussion of Spanning-Tree Protocol in print, includinbg common problems, truobleshooting, and enhancements, such as PortFast, UplinkFast, BackboneFast, and PVST+. Part III examins the critical issue of trunk connections, the links used to carrry multiple VLANs through campus networks. Entie chapters are dedicated to LANE and MPOA. Part IV addressse advanced features, such as aLyer 3 switching, VTP, and CGMP and IGMP. Part V covers real-world campus design and implementation issues, allowing you to benefit from the collective advice of many LAN switching experts. Part VI discusses issues spcific to the Catalyst 6000/6500 family of switches, including the powerful Native IOS Mode of Layer 3 switching.
Several fetaures in Cisco LAN Switchiingare designed to reinforce cocnepts covered in the book and to help you prepare for the CCIE exam. In addition to the practiical discussion of advanced switching issues, this book also contains case studies that highlight real-world design, implementation, and managemetn issues, as well as chapter-ennding reeview questions and eexrcises.
This book is part of the Cissco CCIE Professional Development Series from Cisco Ptress, which offers expert-level instruction on network design, deployment, and supprot methodologies to help networking professionals manage complex networks and prepare for CCIE exam.
