Here are a couple of books I have read and would suggest. They are not free
but they are worth it...


Routing TCP/IP Volume I (CCIE Professional Development)
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1578700418/qid=1089749604/sr=1
-1/ref=sr_1_1/104-0916091-2402328?v=glances=books

Routing TCP/IP Volume II (CCIE Professional Development)
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1578700892/qid=1089749604/sr=1
-3/ref=sr_1_3/104-0916091-2402328?v=glances=books

Subject: Routing Training Books Please!!

After many years of waiting my company has a position opening up that I
can fill. I spoke with the Net Admin and asked if there were any one skill
that would be of a great benefit to my company and his response was
Routing, IP and subnetting (ok so more then one. But I swear he can
count).

So here I am with maybe a month before they make a decision and I am
thinking I should beef up on my skills.

I am hoping someone out there may know of some GREAT (free, I am a poor
slob) resources for Routing. I have exactly 0 experience in Routing. I do
however have a Cisco 1700 at home to practice with.

I could use some IP and subnetting refreshers so I am open to suggestions
there too.

I am sorry to bother everyone. I have had such great help from the FreeBSD
community since I started running it at home I thought maybe someone out
there may know of a good place for me to start.


Thank you,
Joshua Lewis

Here are a few...

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/779/smbiz/community/routing_to.html

This one covers the OSI model, media and others...looks interesting:

http://www.ictglobal.com/ICT009/network_basics.html

and this to due with subnetting etc...subnetting is the most confusing, so
if you use it extensively in your environment, it may be a valuable asset
to have:

Thank you Jimi this is going to be a perfect start. My family thanks you.
Well they will when I get home and tell them the good news.


Thank you,

Thompson, Jimi
 Josh,

 I found several on google that look sensible.  See if these don't help
 you.  Your employer should probably be willing to purchase a reference
 book or two.  I'm not sure what kind of gear you're running at work, but
 you can get a good feel for how things work by playing with routed on
 your FreeBSD box.

i found this document to be both particularly helpful and extremely free. 
the ideas are clearly expressed and the text thoughtfully written.  it was
one component of the training given to internet technicians at a canadian
telco for which i once worked.

http://www.3com.com/other/pdfs/infra/corpinfo/en_US/501302.pdf

you can get through this document in 1-2 days, if you apply yourself.  it
also includes several exercises, which i highly recommend doing (and more
than once).  what is it again, adult learners tend to retain:

 10% of what they read
 20% of what they hear
 30% of what they see
 50% of what they see and hear
 70% of what they talk over with others
 80% of what they use and do in real life
 95% of what they teach someone else to do

whatever.

hope this helps.
