Features: This book not only guides readers on how to use Layer 2 and Layer 3 devices to build enterprise campus networks but also further teaches them how to optimize routing, ensure network availability, and prepare for multicast applications after the campus network is set up. The book is comprehensive, and through in-depth case studies and configuration examples, readers can accomplish the following tasks:
- Select and connect Cisco products to achieve campus connectivity;
- Ensure network availability through redundant links and virtual default routers;
- Enable multilayer switching to support line-rate data transmission;
- Implement Cisco Hot Standby to ensure router protocol redundancy for reliable routing;
- Implement network services to gain membership in multicast groups;
- Control network traffic by implementing network access policies.
