Cisco Ccdp Arch Simplified


Book Description

Network design engineers are the backbone of the internetworking world. They are the people responsible for turning concepts into designs. They must take the customer's requirements, budget, and plans for growth and apply design principles to turn ideas into reality. They quietly do this while claiming none of the credit. Designing networks is one of the most challenging and rewarding careers a network engineer can choose. You will have to forge close links with vendors and your customers and deal with installation engineers on a daily basis as they turn your designs into live networks through installation, testing, and handover phases. The Cisco Certified Design Engineer (CCDP) qualification demonstrates your mastery of the latest developments in network design and technologies, including network infrastructure, intelligent network services, and converged network solutions. If you choose to add hands-on qualifications such as CCNA and CCNP to your portfolio of skills, you will be in a unique position to see the network take shape, from planning and design to the final build. You will also be in very high demand by employers or as a consultant.This manual has been written by an expert Cisco engineer who has several years of experience as an employee and as a consultant designing and troubleshooting large corporate networks at an enterprise level. To qualify as a CCDP engineer, you need to pass the foundation CCDA exam, as well as the SWITCH, ROUTE, and ARCH exams.

CCIE Security Practice Labs


Book Description

Annotation "CCIE Security Practice Labs provides a series of complete practice labs that mirror the difficult hands-on lab exam. Written by a CCIE Security engineer and Cisco Systems CCIE proctor, this book lays out seven end-to-end scenarios that are both complex and realistic, providing you with the practice needed to prepare for your lab examination and develop critical-thinking skills that are essential for resolving complex, real-world security problems. While many engineers are able to configure single technologies in standalone environments, most will struggle when dealing with integrated technologies in heterogeneous environments." "CCIE Security Practice Labs consists of seven full-blown labs. The book does not waste time covering conceptual knowledge found in other security manuals, but focuses exclusively on these complex scenarios. The structure of each chapter is the same, covering a broad range of security topics. Each chapter starts with an overview, equipment list, and general guidelines and instructions on setting up the lab topology, including cabling instructions, and concludes with verification, hints, and troubleshooting tips, which highlight show and debug commands. The companion CD-ROM contains solutions for all of the labs, including configurations and common show command output from all the devices in the topology."--BOOK JACKET.
