Book Description

1931836574 978-1931836579 July 31, 2002 1
The only book dedicated Sniffer, a powerful tool created for real-time enterprise network fault diagnosis and performance management.
Sniffer Network Optimization and Troubleshooting Handbook introduces the reader to the vast functionality of the suite of Sniffer Solutions from Network Associates but ultimately focuses on the affordable and most widely used Sniffer Product - Sniffer Pro LAN Network Analyzer. This book will begin with the basic features of Sniffer Pro LAN and then move the reader through the impressive tips and tools available for gathering data, analyzing, troubleshooting, resolving and securing problems on their network.
In today's day and age a company is judged by the quality of it is network. To ensure sustained network performance and to avoid costly network downtime, network administrators need to be proficient with advanced networking monitoring and troubleshooting solutions, like Sniffer, to be able to detect, observe, and resolve network problems before these problems impact users or customers.
Sniffer from Network Associates is a suite of tools including Sniffer Portable Analysis Suite, Sniffer Distributed Analysis Suite, Sniffer Reporting, Sniffer Optical, and Sniffer Wireless. With a clear market leadership, Sniffer Solutions are employed in over 80% of the enterprise networks of the Fortune 100. Sniffer has also received wide industry acclaim from the experts and its everyday users. In 2000 Sniffer was named one of the 10 most computer products of the decade by Network Computing Magazine. It also received the "Editor's Choice" award from PC Magazine during the second quarter of 2001.
Over 60,000 individuals have taken advantage of the educational services offered by Sniffer Technologies - aptly named Sniffer University. Coupled with the introduction of the Sniffer Certified Professional Program (SCPP) as a replacement for the popular CNX (Certified Network Expert) certification, an aptitude with Sniffer Solutions is a "must-have" for system administrators.

Only book to offer comprehensive coverage of Sniffer Pro LAN.
Supplemental study materials for the SCPP certification track. As of April 2001, the CNX certifications track became inactive. Current CNXs looking to update their certifications to the new SCPP track are going to need to bring themselves up to speed on the new offerings from the Sniffer family of products before desertification.
Up to the Minute Web-based Support. Once the reader understands the concepts of network hardware, configuration, and implementation, they can receive up-to-the minute links, white papers, and analysis for one year at solutions@syngress.com.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very useful book, September 26, 2002
This review is from: Sniffer Pro Network Optimization and Troubleshooting Handbook (Paperback)
I have a lot of experience using Sniffer Pro, so I was actually a little surprised at how much I learned reading this book. The authors do a great job explaining all the functionality and configurations of Sniffer Pro, but the really useful parts for me were all of the examples and scenarios that are used to teach some more advanced troubleshooting and security techniques. These are the skill you really need to develop to effectively use this product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cool book on a cool product!, October 1, 2002
This review is from: Sniffer Pro Network Optimization and Troubleshooting Handbook (Paperback)
I've been a HUGE fan of Sniffer for years. I use it ALLTHE TIME to figure out and fix stuff on my networks. I learned how to use it by playing around with it--which is always fun, and reading what I could find on the Web. I never saw a real book on Sniffer Pro before, so I figured I would see what the experts had to say. These guys helped me out a TON with this book. I knew how to do a lot of things before, but now withe this book I think I know it ALL. Thanks :)

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book to carry with your Sniffer, May 20, 2003

R.A.H. Wullems (Uden, Noord Brabant Netherlands) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sniffer Pro Network Optimization and Troubleshooting Handbook (Paperback)
I'll keep it short. Thought that as an Sniffer University Instructor this book would not add much for me, but reading the book i found out that is really a good book to have in your neigborhood while working with the Sniffer. It just covers all aspects of the software and many things more that will help you on the way using the Sniffer to troubleshoot or monitor your network.
