Ebook: CCNP Practical Studies: Routing

practical guide shows beginning to advanced networkers how to apply the theoretical knowledge they have gained through CCNP coursework and exam preparation. The scenarios guide users through labs that can be practiced on remote-accessible networking labs, networking simulation programs, or at-home practice labs generated with actual equipment. Each chapter addresses a section of the CCNP-Routing exam. For those lacking the lab equipment to practice on, the proposed book highlights the steps needed to accomplish various crucial tasks, providing concrete examples for the challenges faced in real-world configuration. In structure, this book closely follows the Building Scalable Cisco Networks course, to capitalize on existing successful topic organization and to leverage its usefulness as a supplement to a course or self-study regimen. The author, a Cisco employee who has helped write labs for the CCIE lab exam, has included a bonus CCIE-level lab. A comprehensive reference guide that directs readers where they can purchase new and used Cisco equipment for use in these labs is also included.
