Summary

Cisco authorized self-study book for CCNP Remote Access foundation learning Prepare for CCNP certification while learning the fundamentals of remote access networks Apply Cisco solutions for assembling and cabling WAN components Enable on-demand connections by configuring asynchronous connections with modems and configuring Point-to-Point Protocol Enhance on-demand connectivity using ISDN and DDR technologies Learn how to manage permanent connections with X.25, Frame Relay, backups, queuing, and compressionBuilding Cisco Remote Access Networks is a Cisco authorized self-paced learning tool. It teaches you how to design, configure, and maintain a remote access network using Cisco products. This book helps you enable and enhance the on-demand connectivity of a small office, home office, or telecommuter site to a central site. It is divided into six main areas: introduction to remote access networks, identifying Cisco solutions to remote access needs, enabling on-demand connections to the Central site, enhancing on-demand connectivity, enabling permanent connections to the Central site, and scaling remote access networks.Building Cisco Remote Access Networks offers detailed and concise solutions for working with remote access networks. Configuration examples demonstrate management and troubleshooting techniques. Step-by-step configuration and troubleshooting lists walk you though remote access network set-up and management. In-depth discussions teach you how to maintain and scale a remote access network. Finally, chapter-ending questions help you assess your understanding of key concepts and start you down the path for attaining your CCNP certification.Building Cisco Remote Access Networks is part of a recommended learning path from Cisco Systems that can include simulation and hands-on training from authorized Cisco Learning Partners and self-study products from Cisco Press.
