Synopsis

Cisco Systems, Inc., is the largest manufacturer of networking systems in the world. It dominates the router and switch market to the extent that Cisco routers and switches are considered by many networking professionals to set the standard for all other companies.

Cisco routers, switches, and other equipment keep running without problems, are readily upgraded, are easily adapted to new network configurations, and are compatible with virtually every transport or access method.

Cisco Networking For Dummies, 2nd Edition, presents the facts, concepts, processes, and applications that Cisco network administrators need to know in step-by-step lists, tables, figures, and text – without long explanations. This easy-to-understand guide covers

• Layering a Cisco network
• Transporting data over the Internetwork
• Routing and switching: inside and out
• Working with WAN technologies
• Designing your own network
• Working with firewalls, proxies, and other safety measures
• Implementing VPNs

• Wiring up a personal area network
• Flying fast with UDP
