CCNA Self-Study: Introduction to Cisco Networking Technologies (INTRO) is a Cisco authorized, self-paced learning tool for fundamental CCNA knowledge. This book helps you become literate in the basics of internetworking, TCP/IP, and the use of Cisco IOS Software on Cisco switches and routers. An excellent introduction to computer networking, this book addresses fundamental terms and concepts as well as basic procedures for working with the Cisco command-line interface (CLI) to configure and operate Cisco IOS devices.
Designed as a self-study guide for the INTRO component of the CCNA exam, this comprehensive tutorial imparts important knowledge and skills necessary to describe and identify major network and WAN components along with their functions and purposes. This book covers topics on network types, network media, switching fundamentals, TCP/IP, IP addressing and routing, WAN technologies, operating and configuring Cisco IOS devices, and managing network environments. Divided into three core parts, this book covers internetworking basics, internetworking layers, and administering Cisco devices. Each chapter ends with extensive review questions to test your knowledge acquisition.
Full of detailed information and easy-to-grasp tutorials, CCNA Self-Study: Introduction to Cisco Networking Technologies (INTRO) presents fundamental internetworking terms, concepts, and components and shows you how to apply this information to configure basic network connectivity via serial and LAN networks using PCs, hubs, routers, and switches. Whether you are studying to become CCNA certified or are simply seeking to gain a better understanding of networking fundamentals using the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) seven layer model, you will benefit from the information presented in this book.
CCNA Self-Study: Introduction to Cisco Networking Technologies (INTRO) is part of a recommended learning path from Cisco Systems that includes simulation and hands-on training from authorized Cisco Learning Partners and self-study products from Cisco Press.
