Editorial Review:
Chris Lewis has done the Cisco community yet another favour by writingCisco Switched Internetworks: Vlans, Atm & Voice/Data Integration (Cisco Technical Expert). This volume backs up the Internet Protocol (IP) material he presented in his earlier (and very highly regarded) Cisco TCP/IP Routing Professional Reference.
In Cisco Switched Internetworks, Lewis applies his trademark thoroughness and clarity to switched systems, explaining how Cisco products work as part of switched virtual local area networks (VLANs) and Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) schemes in general. He also provides plenty of information about the theory and design of switched connections among networks. Before getting into the details of Cisco implementations, he explains LAN switching and provides lots of detail on the various ways(including RFC 1577 and LAN emulation) of implementing wide area networks(WANs) by encapsulating TCP/IP information in ATM network traffic.
But this book really earns its place on your shelf with its Cisco- specific implementation information. Lewis provides explicit hardware and software configuration information for the Cisco 5000 series, 5500 series and 2916XL. While they're not exactly recipes, the discussions and listings presented here will help you build robust switched networks. One particularly interesting passage has to do with implementing voice over IP(VOIP) on the Cisco MC3810, complete with a connection to a PBX. --David Wall
Reader Reviews:
500 stars for Chris Lewis's books (0/0 people found this helpful)
I need not review this book and know straight away that it is a 5 star material. I have gone through Chris Lewis previous book "Cisco TCP/IP Routing Professional Reference" and find him a really, truely, absolutely 100% enlightening guru. I am now eating up Slattery and Burton's book "Advanced IP routing in Cisco Network" and when comparing the 2 books,I realise another important aspect of Chris's book - he included the right kind of material in one single source with appropriate chapters on FrameRelay, ISDN, IPX, bridge, how to recover password lost and upgrade IOS etc, many troubleshooting insights - one you can carry around in your car for instant help.
