About this title

Review

With organizations diverging in ever-increasing numbers from the "big central headquarters" organizational model and relying more on geographically distributed work centers, wide area networking (WAN) experts now are in greater demand than ever before. To prove that you're an expert in WAN connectivity, get your Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) rating. To get your CCNP rating, you'll have to pass the Remote Access exam (640-505). That's where CCNP: Remote Access Study Guide comes into play. It will prepare you for the test by helping you identify the relevant bits of your experience and filling you in on the pieces of WAN technology with which you're less familiar. It's uniformly well written and carefully organized.

The organization of this book derives from Cisco's published exam objectives, and each topic is addressed in a similar way. A given topic area typically opens with a discussion of what it's good for and why you would want to configure it. Then, you get to see how the subject looks in action--for a protocol, you'll see the sequence of messages that go back and forth. From there, it's on to the specifics of how Cisco equipment implements the technology. You'll find configuration file listings that illustrate variations on the theme and Internetwork Operating System (IOS) command sequences. Review questions, which are followed by their answers--plus comments--appear at the end of each chapter. --David Wall

Topics covered: The subjects that the Cisco Remote Access exam (640-505) covers, including X.25, Frame Relay, traffic flow, and the specifics of implementing WAN connections on Cisco IOS. Special attention goes to the Cisco 700-series router family.
