Cisco knows networking. They design and sell networking technology under five brands, namely, Cisco, Linksys, WebEx, IronPort, and Scientific Atlanta. In late March 2000, at the height of the dot-com boom, Cisco was the most valuable company in the world, with a market capitalization of more than $500 billion.

This book was written by a Cisco networking expert, Todd Lammle. He covers all of the topics included in the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) exam. The CD packaged with the book is loaded with 400 questions to help testees assess their comprehension of the material in the book.

In this book, you will find coverage for using Cisco IOS commands; using the RIP and IGRP routing protocols; configuring Frame Relay LMIs, maps, and subinterfaces; monitoring Frame Relay operation in the router; understanding WAN configurations and services; IP and dynamic IP routing; IP addressing and subnetting; LAN segmentation using bridges, switches, and routers; working with TCP/IP; backing up and restoring the Cisco IOS and router configuration; understanding the Spanning-Tree protocol; and creating and implementing access lists.
