Cisco Internetwork Troubleshooting is a Cisco authorized self-paced learning tool. It teaches you how to perform fundamental hardware maintenance and troubleshooting on Cisco routers and switches. If you are pursuing CCNP certification and anticipate taking the CCNP Support Exam, this book helps you with strong and accurate early study material.
As more advanced technology and functionality are added to communications infrastructures, the job of managing and maintaining networks becomes more difficult and the cost of internetwork failure rises. This book provides a systematic and logical approach to keep today's complex networks running smoothly. It is divided into four main areas: troubleshooting tools and methodology, routing and routed protocol troubleshooting, campus switch and VLAN troubleshooting, and WAN troubleshooting.
Cisco Internetwork Troubleshooting provides basic through advanced information on networking technology, practices, and troubleshooting for TCP/IP, NetWare IPX/SPX, and AppleTalk LANs and WANs. Configuration examples demonstrate management and troubleshooting techniques. Problem-solving checklists and worksheets help you organize and document your troubleshooting steps. You will also find useful information on working with Cisco support, and the chapter-ending questions and exercises help you assess your understanding of key concepts and start you down the path for attaining your CCNP certification.
Cisco Internetwork Troubleshooting is part of a recommended learning path from Cisco Systems that can include simulation and hands-on training from authorized Cisco Learning Partners and self-study products from Cisco Press.Books in this series provide officially developed training solutions to help networking professionals understand technology implementations and prepare for the Cisco Career Certifications examinations.

Reader Reviews
I used this book along with three others to prepare for CIT, and as the exam drew near, I found myself using this one almost exclusively. I thought the book did an excellent job explaining and illustrating the concepts. There is an excellent balance of command syntax explanation, screen output text, and explanatory text. Significant portions of command output are highlighted and explained clearly and thoroughly. I also welcomed the amount of detail, which came in handy on the exam and in real life. Details such as the breakdown of frames in different protocols are left out of a lot of study guides, but that's the kind of information I want. It's better to present the information to the reader and let the reader decide to what level he/she needs to go, rather than the author deciding what the reader needs to know. The appendixes were also thorough in their presentation of the material. Don't skip them. I also liked the question format for most of the chapters, although for most chapters there weren't that many of them. There is one section that simply presents screen readout and challenges you to find the problems. That's the kind of question you need to be able to answer to pass CIT. If you are looking for "A-B-C-D" questions, you won't find them here. You're challenged to come up with commands that perform certain tasks, which is what you need to be able to do in the first place. I would strongly recommend using more than one text for this exam (and for all Cisco exams), but if you use only one book, it really should be this one.
