About the Book

Prepare for the CCNP 642-811 BCMSN exam with the only Cisco Systems authorized self-study preparation book. The revised edition of the CCNP Switching Exam Certification Guide with new topical coverage of the 642-811 BCMSN exam Master advanced switching techniques and practices Prepare for the exam with the 200-plus question electronic testing engine on the enclosed CD-ROM Learn CCNP Switching topics with proven learning tools from the Exam Certification Guide product line With updated technology and testing content, CCNP BCMSN Exam Certification Guide (CCNP Self-Study) provides tutorial learning and exam preparation on advanced switching techniques and practices. Written in smaller, easier to absorb chapters than the first Exam Certification Guide, this book breaks down large concepts into manageable learning blocks, making it even easier to comprehend and retain the large amount of learning required for this exam. As part of the CCNP/CCDP certifications, switching is an important building block that all networking professionals must master. Cisco Press teaches and prepares candidates for this challenging professional-level exam with pre- and post-chapter quizzes, foundational reviews, in-depth topical learning materials, real-world case studies, and the 200-plus question electronic testing engine on the CD-ROM included in the back of the book. New coverage includes reviews of new switching hardware and advanced topics. An emphasis on IOS Software commands in the Catalyst 3550, 4000, and 6000 families is included, as well as Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF), transparent LAN services, QoS Classification, and IP telephony configuration.
