Introduction to Cisco Router Configuration

Based on the ICRC course, this guide presents the concepts and commands required to configure Cisco routers in multiprotocol internetworks. Each section of the book consists of technical training with configuration examples and a test. On the CD is a Cisco certification assessment test. Introduction to Cisco Router Configuration presents the foundation knowledge necessary to define Cisco router configurations in multi-protocol environments. You'll examine a broad range of technical information on routing models, processes, and design. Beginning with internetworking fundamentals, you'll work through the internetworking model, defining the OSI layers and path determination, then move on to basic router operation and configuration. You'll delve into the configuration details for IP routing, Novell IPX, and AppleTalk, and then examine IP addressing and traffic management with access lists. Finally, you'll explore WAN communications, including serial connections, X.25, and Frame Relay.
