Excerpts

Introduction IntroductionMy first motivation for writing this book was to serve the needs of CCNP instructors and students in the Cisco Networking Academy. For the past four years, I (David) have had the privilege of serving on the National Advisory Council for the Cisco Networking Academy, representing four-year colleges and universities. Also on that Council are a number of two-year community colleges. Inevitably at Council meetings, we would discuss both CCNP curricula and labs. As I spoke with a number of my CCNP instructor peers, a common theme emerged. Instructors felt that the labs needed to be rewritten to be more comprehensive. Labs in the past have lacked complexity. When I realized that I was rewriting the Academy CCNP labs, and that my peers were rewriting the same labs, the thought occurred to me that perhaps an engineering school like RPI was up to the task of writing these labs in a way that would better serve the needs of the community. It is not that the previous labs were inappropriate. Rather I think it is that the Cisco Networking Academy has grown up. Having just celebrated its tenth birthday, the Academy is ready for bigger challenges. I hope that these labs will fill that role.My second motivation for writing these labs was to help network professionals who are trying to upgrade their skill set to the CCNP level. As a former hiring manager at a Tier 1 ISP, I have a strong sense of what industry is looking for when it hires someone with CCNP credentials. A number of hiring managers from Fortune 500 companies contact me each year about hiring my students. I know the level of expertise they expect from a CCNP. These labs reflect the convictions those managers have shared with me.My third motivation for writing these labs was to see how much of a challenge a university undergraduate could rise to if the student were asked to do a big job. My coauthors, Josh Moorhouse and Ross Wolfson, were both undergraduates when they authored these labs. I gave them a huge task and they responded with skill and grace. I firmly believe that we frequently do not ask enough of our students. If we ask for greatness, sometimes we will get it. If we settle for the normal, we are more assured of success, but we may miss the opportunity to see our students soar to heights undreamed of. Whether an instructor or student, I hope that your technical knowledge will soar to new heights with these labs. Goals and MethodsThe most important goal of this book is to help you master the technologies necessary to configure quality of service in a production network. After all, what is the point of getting certified and getting that dream job or promotion, if you cannot perform after you are there. While it is impossible to simulate a network of hundreds of routers, we have added loopback interfaces to simulate additional networks and to increase complexity.A secondary goal of this book is to help people pass the ONT certification exam. For two years, I was on the CCNP Assessment authoring team. After all those years of complaining, "What were they thinking when they putthatquestion on the exam?" suddenly the questions I was writing were the subject of someone else's complaint. I know how important it is both to students and network professionals to pass certifications. Frequently prestige, promotion, and money are all at stake. While all the core configurations on the certification exam are covered in this book, no static document like a book can keep up with the dynamic way in which the certification exam is constantly being upgraded. Who Should Read This BookCisco Networking Academy instructors and students who want a written copy of the electronic labs will find this book of great use. In addition to all the official labs that are part of the Academy curriculum, additional Challenge and Troubleshooting labs have be
