The new Certification Zone and Hello Computers CCIE R&S; Lab Workbook contains a well-conceived collection of exercises designed to help you develop, practice, and refine the configuration and troubleshooting skills you'll need for the latest version of the R&S; Lab Exam. This Workbook is a completely new Lab Exam preparation resource produced by a team of CCIEs and technical trainers who have decades of experience. Here is summary of the Workbook:

  • The Workbook addresses the latest topics that Cisco found on the R&S; Lab Exam including the Cat 3550 switches and has increased emphasis on all remaining topics like BGP.

In addition, this topography is available to every Workbook owner, remotely, at affordable rates.

OSI Reference Model Pocket Guide

The Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model is the basis for much of modern networking. It is a layered model under which all networking protocols and services are defined. Many attempts at explaining OSI become too abstract and require a very high level of network design knowledge and experience to even begin to understand. This Pocket Guide presents a more practical, user friendly examination of the topic.

The Author

Howard C. Berkowitz, CCSI, is an accomplished network designer and instructor who has written two books on network architecture. He effectively utilizes real-life experiences, analogies, and humor to clear up some of the most common confusions and misconceptions associated with the OSI Reference.
