"Working through lab activities and practice with show commands and debugs will better prepare the exam candidate to implement and troubleshoot solutions efficiently and successfully." -Kathe Saccenti, co-developer of the CCIE Security exam, Cisco Systems, Inc. Companion CD-ROM CD-ROM contains the solutions to the 8 complete lab scenarios in the book. This book is part of the Cisco Press Practical Studies Series, which offers readers a means to apply theoretical knowledge through hands-on lab scenarios. This unique approach enables readers to practice and hone their internetworking skills while preparing for Cisco certification exams.

Network Design outlines the fundamental principles and analytical techniques used in designing data networks. The text enables future managers and technical professionals to better understand and appreciate each other's perspective in the network design process. Network managers will need a sound grounding in basic design principles to effectively manage, plan, and assess the plethora of new technologies and equipment available for designing networks. They also must understand how requirements should be formulated and specified for design engineers. Similarly, network designers and engineers need a sound grounding in basic management principles to fully understand how organizational requirements best reflect design recommendations. Network Design enables network management and design professionals to work together toward achieving their respective goals in the network design process. It outlines basic techniques; reviews major challenges and issues; summarizes prevailing approaches and technologies; describes the specification, design, and planning data network topologies; and assesses specification and evaluation processes in designing and implementing data networks. This excellent, unique resource also : Emphasizes principles and analytical approaches that work independent of specific implementation of technology Includes case studies to illustrate how basic principles can be applied to realistic network design problems, considering both technical and management considerations Demystifies the design process, describing the lingua franca of both managers and design engineers in common terms Provides a better understanding of the total network design process
