Guys,
Just got my copy of the new Froom, et. al. BCMSN book!! (Pardon my
excitement, but I am a former BCMSN instructor). Well written,
up-to-the-minute current and comprehensive. Here is a taste of some of the
topics covered:
1. Update to the Enterprise MLS Model
2, Depth on Catalyst software versions, file systems, software upgrade,
conversions
3. Coverage of VTP version 3, RSTP and MST
4. Plenty on STP features Root Guard, Loop Guard, UDLD, etc.
5. Long needed discussion of CEF-based MLS
6. Good coverage of Supervisor Engine Redundancy
7. Good depth on HSRP, VRRP, GLBP
8. IOS Server Load Balancing
9. Full chapter on Voice support on Catalysts
10. Chapter on Storage Networking, with depth on Fibre Channel, iSCSI
11. Cool Chapter on Metro Ethernet, including SONET, DWDM, CWDM, Q-in-Q
Tunneling, Ethernet over MPLS
12. Appendix with needed depth on Auto-Negotiation
IMHO, a worthy shelf-mate to Clark & Hamilton's Cisco LAN Switching (which is
saying something) and the best I have seen on Cisco LAN Switching in 5 years.
Currently in stock at bookpool.com ;->
