Practical throughout, the book provides not only a theoretical description of Internet routing, but also a real-world look into how theory translates into practice. It shows how algorithms are implemented, and how the routing protocols function in a working network where transmission lines and routers routinely break down.
You will find clear explanations of such routing fundamentals as how a router forwards packets, IP addressing, CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing), the routing table, Internet routing architecture, and the two main routing technologies: Distance Vector and link-state algorithms. OSPF is discussed in depth, with an examination of the rationale behind OSPF's design decisions and how it has evolved to keep pace with the rapidly changing Internet environment. OSPF topics covered by the book include the following: OSPF areas and virtual links NBMA (Nonbroadcast multi-access) and Point-to-MultiPoint network segments OSPF configuration and management Interaction with other routing protocols OSPF cryptographic authentication OSPF protocol extensions, including the Demand Circuit extensions and the multicast extensions to OSPF (MOSPF) An OSPF FAQ
IP multicast and multicast routing are also discussed. Methods for debugging routing problems are explained, including a catalog of available debugging tools. The book also offers side-by-side comparisons of all the unicast and multicast routing protocols currently in use in the Internet.
You will come away from this book with a sophisticated understanding of Internet routing and of the OSPF protocol in particular. Moreover, the book's practical focus will enable you to put this deeper understanding to work in your network environment.The comprehensive reference for OSPF network design and deployment
One of the most prevalent Interior Gateway Protocols (IGPs), OSPF is in use in numerous networks across the globe. Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is also one of the most widely tested protocols if you choose to pursue a networking certification. From a technical perspective, the overwhelming presence of OSPF ensures that you will encounter it at some point in your career. As a result, every networking professional should understand how OSPF operates, how to configure and troubleshoot this important protocol, and most importantly how to design a network that uses OSPF.
Once the CVOICE videos help you answer these three questions, they get into the nitty-gritty of VoIP implementation. They teach you how to move an existing PBX or Key System based network to the newer VoIP technology without getting rid of all your old equipment, so you can maximize the cost efficiency of your VoIP implementation. They teach you how to deploy a worldwide VoIP infrastructure, even using lower-end equipment. The videos also cover techniques that allow you to configure your Cisco router to continually monitor the WAN line quality and dynamically change connections as necessary.
"CVOICE [Exam-Pack: 642-432 from CBT Nuggets] not only prepares you for the Cisco exam, but also has multiple practical VoIP deployment videos showing exactly how an administrator would set this up in the real world," explained instructor Jeremy Cioara.
The videos cover all objectives for the Cisco CVOICE exam 642-432, which is required for CCVP, Cisco IP Telephony Express Specialist and Cisco IP Telephony Support Specialist certifications. A thorough understanding of Cisco networking such as CCNA or equivalent knowledge is recommended before viewing these videos. The training contains 19 videos providing more than 11 hours of instruction.

This fact-filled Quick Reference allows you to get all-important information at a glance, helping you focus your study on areas of weakness and to enhance memory retention of essential exam concepts.
As a final preparation tool providing a review of TUC exam topics, the CCVP TUC Quick Reference Sheets complement official Cisco curriculum, other books, or other exam preparatory material. This digital Short Cut provides you with detailed, graphical-based information, highlighting the key topics on the latest TUC exam in a quick-review format. These fact-filled Quick Reference Sheets allow certification candidates to get all-important information at a glance, helping you focus your study on areas of weakness and enhance memory retention of important concepts.
The CCVP certification recognizes a candidate’s ability to create an IP telephony solution that is transparent, scalable, and manageable. Earning a CCVP certification validates a robust set of skills in implementing, operating, configuring, and troubleshooting a converged IP network. The certification content focuses on Cisco Systems Unified CallManager, quality of service (QoS), gateways, gatekeepers, IP phones, voice applications, and utilities on Cisco routers and Cisco Catalyst switches.
Identify, mitigate, and respond to network attacks
Achieving maximum network security is a challenge for most organizations. Cisco® ASA, a new unified security device that combines firewall, network antivirus, intrusion prevention, and virtual private network (VPN) capabilities, provides proactive threat defense that stops attacks before they spread through the network.
This new family of adaptive security appliances also controls network activity and application traffic and delivers flexible VPN connectivity. The result is a powerful multifunction network security device that provides the security breadth and depth for protecting your entire network, while reducing the high deployment and operations costs and complexities associated with managing multiple point products.
