Features: This book is an authorized Cisco Systems textbook, serving as a valuable supplement to the CCNP1 Advanced Routing course at the Cisco Networking Academy. It is one of the four courses required for the CCNP certification exam, teaching you how to design, configure, maintain, and scale routable networks. The Cisco Networking Academy textbook includes all the information from the online course and adds in-depth content to enhance your understanding of key topics. You will learn how to use VLSM, private addresses, and NAT to make IP address planning more effective. The book also teaches you how to implement routing protocols such as RIPv2, EIGRP, OSPF, IS-IS, and BGP. Additionally, it provides detailed explanations of important techniques for routing filtering and route redistribution. Using this textbook will help you prepare for the "Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks" exam (642-801BSCI). The book offers the following references, study materials, and review tools:
· Each chapter includes learning objectives covering key concepts to facilitate learning;
· Key terms are highlighted in bold, and their definitions are provided in a glossary as supplementary study resources;
· Review questions at the end of each chapter serve as a guide for review and learning, helping you reinforce your understanding of the concepts covered and test your grasp of the chapter material before moving on to the next one. The answers to these review questions are provided in the appendix;
· You can refer to Appendix D to complete all the experiments mentioned in the book. Completing these experiments will give you hands-on experience, helping you apply theoretical knowledge to real-world scenarios. The CD-ROM includes interactive media activities related to the book's content, a test software with over 200 practice questions, and learning guides for each chapter to enhance your learning experience.
The goal of this book is to teach you the fundamentals of advanced routing concepts. The book is divided into 9 chapters and 4 appendices, covering scalable internetworks, advanced IP addressing management, routing, routing information protocol version 2 (RIPv2), enhanced interior gateway routing protocol (EIGRP), open shortest path first (OSPF), intermediate system to intermediate system (IS-IS), routing optimization, and border gateway protocol (BGP). The appendices include a glossary of key terms, answers to review questions, case studies, and all hands-on experiments.
This book is the for the CCNP1 Advanced Routing course at the Cisco Networking Academy and is also valuable for network administrators responsible for implementing, configuring, managing, and maintaining enterprise-level Cisco routers. Additionally, it is suitable for readers who wish to prepare for the CCNP "Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks" (BSCI) exam (642-801).
