Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices, Part 2 (ICND2), is a
Cisco-authorized, self-paced learning tool for CCNA foundation learning.
This book provides you with the knowledge needed to install, operate,
and troubleshoot a small to medium-size branch office enterprise
network, including configuring several switches and routers, connecting
to a WAN, and implementing network security.
In Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices, Part 2 (ICND2), you will study
actual router and switch output to aid your understanding of how to
configure these devices. Many notes, tips, and cautions are also spread
throughout the book. Specific topics include constructing medium-size
routed and switched networks, OSPF and EIGRP implementation, access
control lists (ACL), address space management, and LAN extensions into a
WAN. Chapter-ending review questions illustrate and help solidify the
concepts presented in the book.

Whether you are preparing for CCNA certification or simply want to gain
a better understanding of how to build medium-size Cisco networks, you
will benefit from the foundation information presented in this book.

Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices, Part 2 (ICND2), is part of a
