Book Description
The only authorized lab companion for the Cisco Networking Academy Program
Multilayer switching is a dynamic area of computer networking. These 45 labs give you hands-on experience with a wide array of new technologies, providing extensive practice on Cisco IOS
software configuration procedures. Topics include:
- Spanning-Tree Protocol
- Switch security
- QoS
- Cisco AVVID and CEF
- Inter-VLAN routing with IOS devices

This convenient
Lab Companion provides you with the complete collection of labs specifically written to supplement the CCNP 3: Multilayer Switching course in the Cisco Networking Academy Program.
Each lab contains an objective, estimated completion time, a list of the required equipment, a scenario description, and step-by-step instructions for completing the lab. This title, combined with the CCNP 3: Multilayer Switching Companion Guide, Second Edition, prepares you for the Building Cisco Multilayer Switched Networks (BCMSN) exam 642-811. BCMSN is a qualifying exam for the CCNP and the CCDP certifications. The exam certifies that the successful candidate has the knowledge and skills necessary to build scalable multilayer switched networks, create and deploy a global intranet, and implement basic troubleshooting techniques in environments that use Cisco multilayer switches for client hosts and services.

Reader Reviews
This companion book to the similarly titled course book is a necessity for those wanting to pursue a complete self study program. For those of you who have inherited hand me down books (read Catalyst OS) from "friends of friends", this text will supply the newer chassis and associated IOS information that you are missing. The labs move you through a logical complexity progression and I recommend following them sequentially. This may cover a lot of basic ground for some readers but, we can always stand some review when preparing for exams. Don't short yourself on that piece of information that might mean the difference between getting an answer right or wrong. The goal here is to establish a deeper understanding of the material than the CCNA level provides but primarily you want to pass the test. I found no glaring errors in the lab instructions, examples, figures or diagrams. This may sound pretentious but not all books I've reviewed can earn this claim. The author has provided good solid information and the editors have made sure it is well presented. I would not recommend this book as a reference text without the accompanying course work. As a companion book, it is quite well done. In summary; a solid, usable text that is beneficial for those pursuing their CCNP routing and switching certification. An excellent companion to the course book `CCNP Self-Study: Building Cisco Multilayer Switched Networks (BCMSN)'.
