CCNP ROUTE Portable Command Guide

This is the eBook version of the printed book. If the print book includes a CD-ROM, this content is not included within the eBook version.

CCNP is now the second most common Cisco certification. Its three exams cover more advanced routing and switching topics than CCNA, and now includes both security and wireless. The CCNP® ROUTE Portable Command Guide is the ideal supplementary guide for every network administrator who wants to pass the 2009 Implementing Cisco IP Routing (ROUTE) CCNP exam. Quick, lightweight, and filled with realistic configuration examples, it summarizes all the commands, keywords and optional sub-commands, command arguments, and associated prompts covered on the CCNP ROUTE exam. The book contains both network diagrams and command outputs, showing all the commands needed to build real-world networks, where to use each command, and why. Like all books in the CCNP Portable Command Guide series, this book is designed as a simplified "Engineering Journal" of commands for beginning-to-intermediate level administrators. Designed to map directly to each CCNP ROUTE exam objective, it enables you to study anywhere, even if you don't have an Internet connection - and without having to carry around a large, heavy book. You immediately see a "What do you want to do" section pointing you to the specific topics, chapters, and pages you're looking for - making this book an ideal resource for solving real network problems, not just preparing for the exam.
