Cisco and IP Addressing

An explanation of IP addressing and Cisco routers. It discusses the nuances involved in IP addressing and takes the reader step-by-step through configuration of a Cisco router. It addresses: subnetting and IP addressing; NAT (network address translation) and the HSRP (hot standby router protocol); how to use Cisco supported router commands like CIDR Blocks (class Internet domain routing) and VLSM (variable length subnet masking); all of the common IP addressing protocols; and 15 detailed router configurations. There are Cisco-oriented questions at the end of every chapter. The accompanying CD-ROM includes tutorial software that features video with illustrated examples and tutorials by the authors.
