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.

RE: Routing Training Books Please!!
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 Thomas G.

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, Joshua Lewis 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 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. 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. cheers, epi 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: http://www.ralphb.net/IPSubnet/ HTH, Cheers, Steve Thank you, Joshua Lewis ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
