Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
For a sophisticated view of networking design concepts that goes from lofty to granular in the blink of an eye, Network Design and Case Studies is a sure winner. This mammoth entry in Cisco's growing collection of reference books provides equal parts academic theory and practical application.
The first half of the book deals exclusively with design, starting with an explanation of the three types of networks (campus, wide area, and remote connections). The book outlines the design trends governing those networks today and explains the devices used to create them and their functions, as well as effective ways to integrate the three. The remaining chapters veer off into more specific network types, such as Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), Internet Protocol (IP), and Switched LAN, and the equipment and protocols best suited for those situations.
The second half of this volume is dedicated to real-word problem solving. The 11 "case study" chapters focus on particularly sticky issues--such as Routing Information Protocol (RIP) and Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) redistribution, reducing Service Advertising Protocol (SAP) traffic in Novell Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) networks, and User Datagram Protocol (UDP) broadcast flooding--and propose configuration solutions to fix them. As usual, this books holds the requisite flood of appendices; however, in this instance the "Reference and Recommended Reading" entry is undoubtedly the most useful. --Sarah L. Roberts-Witt

4.0 out of 5 stars
The information in the book is extremely useful,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cisco CCIE Fundamentals: Network Design & Case Studies (Textbook Binding)
I was very exited to purchase this book, however, I became quit disappointed after I thumbed through the pages and realized that it was the same information found on their website. I am returning the book and leaving Cisco an email to express my disappointment.

Not CCIE stuff,
By satish (U.S) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cisco CCIE Fundamentals: Network Design & Case Studies (Textbook Binding)
An O.K book for starters and who want to get to know a bit about N/W design. But, it's too non-technical to be of any use to designers. Definitely, not CCIE level. Not worth buying if you can get same info from cisco web-site

Save the fifty bucks and download free from Cisco,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cisco CCIE Fundamentals: Network Design & Case Studies (Textbook Binding)
The book is a great reference, reads very well and has a lot of useful information. BUT, all the chapters, case studies, and appendices are available from Cisco's website under their support and documentation subject area. Of course I put 2 and 2 together AFTER I bought the book.
