CCIE Professional Development: Routing TCP/IP, Volume II (Hardcover)

A detailed examination of exterior routing protocols and advanced IP routing issues

• Attain complete mastery of the operational components, configuration, and troubleshooting of Border Gateway Protocol Version 4 (BGP-4) -- the de facto interdomain routing protocol
• Understand the operation, configuration, and troubleshooting of Network Address Translation (NAT)
• Learn how to deploy, configure, and troubleshoot IP multicast routing through an array of case studies and exercises
• Familiarize yourself with the design goals and current state of IPv6, the new generation of the IP protocol
• Implement router management through a diverse range of expert-tested methods
• Test and validate your knowledge with practical, comprehensive review questions, configuration exercises, and troubleshooting exercises
• Further your CCIE preparation while mastering advanced TCP/IP concepts

Routing TCP/IP, Volume II, which expands upon on the central theme of Volume 1: scalability and management of network growth, provides you with the expertise necessary to understand and implement BGP-4, multicast routing, Network Address Translation, IPv6, and effective router management techniques. Volume II moves beyond the interior gateway protocols covered in Volume I to examine both inter-autonomous system routing and more exotic routing issues such as multicasting and IPv6.

Routing TCP/IP, Volume II, follows the same informational structure used effectively in Volume I: discussing the topic fundamentals, following up with a series of configuration examples designed to show the concept in a real-world environment, and relying on tested troubleshooting measures to resolve any problems that might arise. Besides preparing you for certification, this book also helps you to develop the knowledge and skills essential to a CCIE.

Whether you are pursuing CCIE certification, need to review for your CCIE recertification exam, or are just looking for expert-level advice on advanced routing issues, Routing TCP/IP, Volume II helps you understand foundation concepts and apply best practice techniques for effective network growth and management.
