Cisco LAN Sw Configuration Handbook, Second Edition, is
a quick and portable reference guide to the most commonly used
features that can be configured on Cisco® Catalyst® switches.
Written to be used across all Catalyst IOS platforms, the book
covers general use of Cisco IOS®, followed by a series of
chapters that provide design and configuration guidelines. Each
chapter starts with common design overviews and then describes
the configuration of management features. Coverage includes Layer
2, Layer 3, multicast, high availability, and traffic management
configurations.
This book is organized by groups of common features, with
sections marked by shaded tabs for quick reference. Information
on each feature is presented in a concise format, with
background, configuration, and example components. The format is
organized for easy accessibility to commands and their proper
usage, saving you hours of research time.
From the first page, the authors zero in on quick facts,
configuration steps, and explanations of configuration options in
each Cisco Catalyst switch feature. The quick reference format
allows you to easily locate just the information you need without
having to search through thousands of pages of documentation,
helping you get your switches up and running quickly and
smoothly.
