Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"Cisco owns the campus data-networking business. This statement may seem obvious, but Cisco's competitors finally have accepted it as fact and are pulling out in droves. Just a few months ago, Lucent, Nortel and 3 Com were making a run for Cisco. Even Cabletron had a substantial--but diminishing--presence. Now Nortel remains the only serious top-tier alternative for campus switching and routing products." -Network Computing (nwc.com) 15 May, 2000"

5.0 out of 5 stars
A must have for any library,
By Donald Filmore (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nortel Networks: A Beginner's Guide (Paperback)
I received my copy of this book less than a week ago, and I am very impressed with the way the book was presented. I work in a "Cisco shop", but this book has offered insight to some of the wonderful offerings that Nortel has. I have read some of the other beginners guides out there, and can honestly say that this book is the easiest to understand and to follow. There are many boring books out there, this is NOT one of them. I read it cover to cover and will do so again. I highly recommend this book for all networking professionals. A must have!

5.0 out of 5 stars
Outstanding basic building blocks to Nortel Networks.,
By Al Martin (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nortel Networks: A Beginner's Guide (Paperback)
Certainly one of the better beginners' guides out there. I was able to read most of it in one sitting. Found that the read was easy and less "mind numbing" than most computer/networking documents. I would recommend this guide to anyone that wants to get into networking, switches, & routers. Maybe you're just interested in understanding the fundamentals of Nortel networking or LAN/Wan technologies.... Get this book!
