  CCNP Practical Studies: Switching (CCNP Self-Study) provides CCNP candidates with an in-depth, hands-on experience in configuring Cisco Catalyst switches. This practical guide shows intermediate level networkers how to apply the theoretical knowledge they have gained through CCNP Coursework and exam preparation. Configuration labs performed within this book will cover all technologies tested upon in Switching exam #642-811, as well as a number of real world scenarios that will test the users overall understanding of multilayer switching. The labs come complete with full explanations, highlighting why the chosen commands and techniques are recommended.

  In addition to applicable labs this book also provides some general information on various switching technologies to bridge gaps in the BCMSN course as well as tips, tricks, shortcuts, and caveats for deploying Cisco switching gear in production environments. This book also includes exercises (similar to traditional mathematics exercises) which will help readers internalize, practice, and memorize certain concepts and thought processes necessary to successfully deploying a switched network.

  Part of the Practical Studies series from the Cisco Press, this book provides self-study based hands-on experience. As such, it can be used in conjunction with other Cisco Press titles as well as being an excellent companion to instructor led training from a Cisco Learning Partner.
