 Chapter 1 introduces you to internetworking. You will learn the basics of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model the way Cisco wants you to learn it. Ethernet networking and standards are discussed in detail in this chapter as well. Chapter 2 provides you with the background necessary for success on the exam as well as in the real world by discussing TCP/IP. Chapter 3 introduces you to subnetting. You will be able to subnet a network in your head after reading this chapter. In addition, you’ll learn about Variable Length Subnet Masks (VLSMs) and how to design a network using VLSMs. Chapter 4 introduces you to the Cisco Internetwork Operating System (IOS) and commandline interface (CLI). In this chapter you will learn how to turn on a router and configure the basics of the IOS, including setting passwords, banners, and more. Chapter 5 provides you with the management skills needed to run a Cisco IOS network. Backing up and restoring the IOS, as well as router configuration, is covered, as are the troubleshooting tools necessary to keep a network up and running. Chapter 6 teaches you about IP routing. This is a fun chapter, because you will begin to build your network, add IP addresses, and route data between routers. You will also learn about static, default, and dynamic routing using RIP and RIPv2. Chapter 7 dives into more complex dynamic routing with Enhanced IGRP and OSPF routing. The Written Lab, Hands-on Labs, and Review Questions will help you master these routing protocols. Chapter 8 gives you a background on layer 2 switching and how switches perform address learning and make forwarding and filtering decisions. Network loops and how to avoid them with the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) will be discussed, as well as the 802.1w STP version. Chapter 9 covers virtual LANs and how you can use them in your internetwork. This chapter also covers the nitty-gritty of VLANs and the different concepts and protocols used with VLANs, as well as troubleshooting. The Written Lab and Review Questions will reinforce the VLAN material. Chapter 10 covers security and access lists, which are created on routers to filter the network. IP standard, extended, and named access lists are covered in detail. Chapter 11 covers Network Address Translation (NAT). This chapter has been on the Sybex website for a few years as an update to my last CCNA ebook, but I updated it and added it to this edition. New information, commands, troubleshooting, and labs will help you nail the NAT CCNA objectives. Chapter 12 covers wireless technologies. This is an introductory chapter regarding wireless technologies as Cisco sees them. However, I also added some advanced wireless topics that cover Cisco’s newest gear. Chapter 13 covers IPv6. This is a fun chapter and has some great information. IPv6 is not the big, bad scary monster that most people think it is. IPv6 is an objective on this new exam, so study this chapter carefully. Chapter 14 concentrates on Cisco wide area network (WAN) protocols. This chapter covers HDLC, PPP, and Frame Relay in depth, as well as other protocols we use on a daily basis like Cable, DSL and PPPoE.
