While this book requires working knowledge of networking and TCP/IP, for the most part you can learn all other concepts with very little exposure. Topics like internetworking concepts, the OSI model, LAN segmentation and routing and switching solutions are but the start of the learning experience. Moving into the IOS, TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, basic routing, dynamic routing, RIP and IGRP, WAN and WAN Protocols and security round out this book.
