Cisco Internetwork Troubleshooting provides basic through advanced information on networking technology, practices, and troubleshooting for TCP/IP, NetWare IPX/SPX, and AppleTalk LANs and WANs. Configuration examples demonstrate management and troubleshooting techniques. Problem-solving checklists and worksheets help you organize and document your troubleshooting steps.
