OSPF Network Design Solutions, 2nd Edition

The comprehensive reference for OSPF network design and deployment

* Understand the full dynamics of OSPF network components, how they interact with one another, and how to configure them
* Increase the efficiency of your OSPF network through a variety of performance tuning techniques
* Apply load balancing to enhance OSPF’s capability to adapt to network topology changes
* Ensure seamless communication between OSPF and other Interior Gateway Protocols (IGPs) and OSPF and BGP through redistribution
* Optimize network stability and efficiency with OSPF summarization
* Maximize your ability to properly manage an ever-changing OSPF network landscape through Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and Management Information Bases (MIBs)
* Develop a practiced, tested security plan to protect your OSPF network
* Optimize the efficiency and bandwidth of your OSPF network through the integration of MPLS
* Complete your basic OSPF knowledge gaps with a boiled down summary of the OSPF RFCs

One of the most prevalent Interior Gateway Protocols (IGPs), OSPF is in use in numerous networks across the globe. Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is also one of the most widely tested protocols if you choose to pursue a networking certification. From a technical perspective, the overwhelming presence of OSPF ensures that you will encounter it at some point in your career. As a result, every networking professional should understand how OSPF operates, how to configure and troubleshoot this important protocol, and most importantly how to design a network that uses OSPF.

Routing TCP/IP, Volume I, 2nd Edition

A detailed examination of interior routing protocols — completely updated in a new edition

# A complete revision of the best-selling first edition–widely considered a premier text on TCP/IP routing protocols
# A core textbook for CCIE preparation and a practical reference for network designers, administrators, and engineers
# Includes configuration and troubleshooting lessons that would cost thousands to learn in a classroom and numerous real-world examples and case studies

Praised in its first edition for its approachable style and wealth of information, this new edition provides readers a deep understanding of IP routing protocols, teaches how to implement these protocols using Cisco routers, and brings readers up to date protocol and implementation enhancements. Routing TCP/IP, Volume 1, Second Edition, includes protocol changes and Cisco features that enhance routing integrity, secure routers from attacks initiated through routing protocols, and provide greater control over the propagation of routing information for all the IP interior routing protocols. Routing TCP/IP, Volume 1, Second Edition, provides a detailed analysis of each of the IP interior gateway protocols (IGPs). Its structure remains the same as the best-selling first edition, though information within each section is enhanced and modified to include the new developments in routing protocols and Cisco implementations. What’s New In This Edition? The first edition covers routing protocols as they existed in 1998. The new book updates all covered routing protocols and discusses new features integrated in the latest version of Cisco IOS Software. IPv6, its use with interior routing protocols, and its interoperability and integration with IPv4 are also integrated into this book. Approximately 200 pages of new information are added to the main text, with some old text removed. Additional exercise and solutions are also included.
