The most complete networking lab reference-anywhere!
Certification for technical professionals, especially in Microsoft and Cisco technologies, has become a mandatory qualification in the company-hiring practice. However, there is a growing concern that newly certified employees are merely "book smart" and lack the hands-on practice that will enable them to actually install and troubleshoot network components. Author John Chirillo is a longtime holder of, and trainer for, all the certifications covered in this book, and he provides you with all the processes, explanations, and exercises that are needed for every network, large or small.
This complete laboratory practice manual is a must-have for every IT department, and includes:
* Hands-on lab work not published anywhere else
* Interactive "real-time" virtual simulations for configuring Microsoft Windows NT Server/Workstation, Microsoft Windows 2000 Server, and Cisco Access Routers
* Lab exercises for Web masters, MCPs, MCSEs, CCDAs, CCDPs, CCNAs, and CCNPs
* Coverage of Windows NT Server Suites, networking essentials, internetworking with TCP/IP, and actual troubleshooting and implementation
The CD-ROM contains all the lab exercises in the book.
