About the Technology
Cisco's ultrareliable routers and switches are the backbone of millions of networks, but "set and forget" is not an acceptable attitude. Fortunately, you don't have to be an old-time administrator to set up and maintain a Cisco-based network. With a handful of techniques, a little practice, and this book, you can keep your system in top shape.

In 22 bite-sized lessons, you'll learn practical techniques for setting up a Cisco network and making sure that it never fails.
