About this title

Synopsis:

A low-cost alternative to test prep courses includes complete coverage of crucial exam topics for CCNP certification that denotes proficiency in supporting diverse internetworks that use routing and bridging technologies. (Intermediate).

Review:

The Advanced Cisco Router Configuration (ACRC) examination covers the management of large internetworks with a number of router-related skills. The CCNP: Advanced Cisco Router Configuration Study Guide is designed for comprehensive, self-paced preparation for this CCNP test. It builds on skills learned at the CCNA level, presenting only more advanced topics geared toward more complex networks.

Structured around the specific objectives set forth in the ACRC exam, this weighty course guide focuses on how to manage access lists, filtering, performance tuning, routing protocols, and much more. It begins with chapters on designing large scalable networks and managing their performance. From there, the guide moves into routing protocols, bridging, and scalable WAN design.

Each chapter begins with a list of the exam objectives covered. Even though the material is highly technical, the presentation flows well. The chapters wrap up with a brief summary section, review questions, and practical laboratory exercises with tasks such as "configure your router with basic SAP and RIP, and configure interfaces for IPX."

An enclosed CD-ROM contains the EdgeTest test software for this exam, loaded with 200 sample questions. It also includes an IP address calculator and a trial version of Visio Professional for diagramming networks. This official study guide is the most thorough and targeted preparation text available for the ACRC examination. --Stephen W. Plain

Topics covered: Scalable network design, IP/IPX traffic control, TCP/IP routing and routing protocols, AppleTalk, bridging, WAN scalability, Cisco serial line support, and Dial-on-Demand Routing.
