5.0 out of 5 stars VERY VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENED!!, April 20, 2008

By	John R. Vacca "Tech Write Independent Reviewer" (Pomeroy, Ohio) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Are you preparing for the CCNP ISCW exam? If you are, then this book is for you. Authors Scott Empson and Hans Roth, have done an outstanding job of summarizing the commands and concepts that you need to understand to pass the Implementing Secure Converged WANs exam.

Empson and Roth, begin by giving you an overview of the two different design models from Cisco: The Service-Oriented Network Architecture and the Enterprise Composite Network Model. Then, the authors describe how to provision a cable modem, and how to configure a Cisco router as a PPPoE client. They also describe how to configure MPLS on a router, including configuring MPLS on a frame mode interface, and configuring MTU size in label switching. The authors continue by describing how to configure, verify and troubleshoot IPsec VLANs. Next, they discuss topics such as locking down routers with AutoSecure. Finally, the authors discuss how to configure a basic firewall from the CLI and SDM; and how to configure inspection rules as part of an Advanced Firewall.

To verify the commands used in this most excellent book, many different devices were used. Perhaps more importantly, these devices are adequate for someone to continue their studies beyond the CCNP level.
