Look inside

Learn Cisco Network Administration in a Month of Lunches is a tutorial designed for beginners who want to learn how to administer Cisco switches and routers. Just set aside one hour a day (lunchtime would be perfect) for a month, and you'll start learning practical Cisco Network administration skills faster than you ever thought possible.

about the technology

Cisco's ultrareliable routers and switches are the backbone of millions of networks, but "set and forget" is not an acceptable attitude. Fortunately, you don't have to be an old-time administrator to set up and maintain a Cisco-based network. With a handful of techniques, a little practice, and this book, you can keep your system in top shape.

about the book

Learn Cisco Network Administration in a Month of Lunches is designed for occasional and full-time network administrators using Cisco hardware. In 22 bite-sized lessons, you'll learn practical techniques for setting up a Cisco network and making sure that it never fails. Real-world labs start with configuring your first switch and guide you through essential commands, protocols, dynamic routing tricks, and more.

what's inside

  • Understand your Cisco network, including the difference between routers and switches
  • Configure VLANs and VLAN trunks
  • Secure your network
  • Connect and configure routers and switches
  • Establish good maintenance habits

This is the Cisco networking book we've needed for a long time now. Highly recommended if you are looking to get started with Cisco networking.

Mark Furman, Info-Link Technologies

A great book to get you up and running in no time.

Sau Fai Fong, Panda Tech Hub

If you just want to pass the exam, pick a different book. If you want to configure your Cisco equipment into a working network, this is the place to start.
