hierarchical internetwork model.So you want to become a good network engineer? Let us give you some advice: do not believe that you know everything there is to know about networking. No matter what certifications or years of experience you have, there will always be gaps in knowledge and people who know or have experienced issues that you may not have. Troubleshoot issues systematically from layer to layer. Use your resources—such as this book! You can never have too many resources at your disposal in your toolbox. Do not be afraid to ask for help. Do not be ashamed because you cannot resolve a problem. That is why we have teams of engineers. Everyone has their expertise, and we must use each to our advantage. Remember when dealing with networks, it is always better to have a second pair of eyes and another brain to help resolve issues quickly. This will help you save time and stop you from working in circles. You want to know how you can become a good network engineer?-----This practical desk companion doubles as a comprehensive overview of the basic knowledge and skills needed by CCNA and CCNP exam takers. Prior familiarity with Cisco routing and switching is desirable but not necessary, as Chris Carthern, Dr. Will Wilson, and Noel Rivera start their book with a review of network basics. Further they explain practical considerations and troubleshooting when establishing a physical medium for network communications. Later they explain the concept of network layers, intermediate LAN switching, and routing. Next they introduce you to the tools and automation used with Cisco networks. Moving forward they explain management planes, data planes, and control planes. Next they describe advanced security, trouble shooting, and network management. They conclude the book with a section which focuses on using network automation to automate Cisco IOS networks. Who This Book Is For   Network designers, engineers, programmers, managers, and students.
