This is the Rough Cut version of the printed book.

This Cisco-authorized, self-paced foundation learning tool for both the CCENT 100-101 and CCNA® 200-120 exams offers a comprehensive overview of the diverse technologies found in modern internetworks. From routing and switching concepts to practical configuration and security, it teaches with numerous examples, illustrations, and real-world scenarios, helping you rapidly gain both expertise and confidence.

This book provides you with all the knowledge you need to install, operate and troubleshoot a small enterprise branch network, including basic network security.  Whether you are preparing for certification or simply want to understand basic Cisco networking, you’ll find this guide exceptionally valuable. Topics covered include: TCP/IP models and protocols; LANs and Ethernet; running Cisco IOS; VLANs and trunks; IP addressing and subnetting; packet delivery; static and dynamic routing; DHCP and NAT; network security; WANs, IPv6, and more.

This edition has been fully updated to reflect the new Cisco ICND1 100-101 exam blueprint. Content has been reorganized, simplified, and expanded to help you learn even more efficiently. New Production Network Simulation questions offer more real-world review, and new web video resources in each chapter walks you through many key tasks.
