Book Description

The essential guide for understanding Ethernet switched networksUnderstand various Ethernet technologies from 10BASE-T to Gigabit EthernetLearn about common switching modes, paths, and architectures Delve into the Cisco Catalyst switch architecture and examine the various Catalyst switch models, including the 6000/6500, 4500, and 3750Become familiar with VLAN concepts, including types of trunks, VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP), and private VLANsUnderstand Multilayer Switching (MLS) and the various hardware components that make MLS workLearn how to configure Cisco Catalyst switches in both native and hybrid modeImplement QoS on Cisco Catalyst switchesDeploy multicast features and protocols, including PIM, IGMP snooping, and CGMPUtilize data link layer features such as BPDU Guard, BPDU Filter, Root Guard, Loop Guard, RSTP, and MSTEvaluate design and configuration best practicesLearn how to manage LANs and troubleshoot common problems

Local-area networks (LANs) are becoming increasingly congested and overburdened because of a dramatic increase in traffic, faster CPUs and operating systems, and more network-intensive applications. Many organizations that use network and computing technology use LAN switching to take advantage of high-speed traffic forwarding and improved performance of traditional Ethernet technologies that don't require costly wiring upgrades or time-consuming host reconfiguration. Cisco LAN Switching Fundamentals provides administrators of campus networks with the most up-to-date introduction to LAN switching within a traditional Ethernet environment.

Cisco LAN Switching Fundamentals presents an in-depth look at modern campus network requirements. It provides an easy-to-understand introduction to LAN switching best practices using Cisco Catalyst switches. This book provides you with a wealth of details on the architecture, operation, and configuration of the Cisco Catalyst family of switches. You learn about a wide range of topics, including quality of service (QoS), multicast, Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), Multiple Spanning Tree (MST), private virtual LANs (VLANs), and configuration using the native and hybrid software interfaces. Design advice and configuration examples are discussed liberally throughout the book to provide you with the best perspective on effective deployment techniques. Finally, the book wraps up with a discussion of steps necessary to troubleshoot common problems and optimize LAN performance.

Whether you are looking for an introduction to LAN switching principles and practices or a Cisco Catalyst configuration and troubleshooting reference, this book provides you with the invaluable insight you need to design and manage high-performance campus networks.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

NIGEL PATTERSON

To say Stella Patchouli has had a remarkable life is an understatement. Throughout the narrative the reader is confronted with a strong underlying theme which reflects courage...and an inner torment never far away from the glitz of fame and fortune... Surprisingly, most of the sensational parts of the book do not involve Elvis, but the author's numerous relationships with other world famous celebrities. — ELVIS INFORMATION NETWORK
