Packet Tracer For Young Intermediate Admins

"The book titled 'PACKET TRACER FOR YOUNG INTERMEDIATE ADMINS' is crafted for individuals eager to enhance their abilities and understanding in the management of both LAN and WAN networks. It serves as a sequel to a previous publication bearing the same name, aimed at providing readers with detailed descriptions and practical exercises focused on the configuration of CISCO devices. The authors emphasize a practical approach, offering abundant examples over extensive theoretical content. This method allows readers to develop skills in administering ICT networks and handling diverse device configurations without the necessity of purchasing costly CISCO equipment.

The book delves into fundamental aspects of configuring various protocols, services, and network techniques. These include dynamic routing protocols like RIP, EIGRP, and OSPF, as well as eBGP. It also covers static routing, access control lists, VoIP, STP, RS, VTP, FRAME RELAY, and authentication protocols such as PPP, PAP, and CHAP. Additional topics include RADIUS, NETFLOW, NAT, L2NAT, and VPN tunneling. The material also addresses the configuration of multilayer switches like the 3560-24PS and 3650-24PS.

Contributors to this book comprise a diverse team both generationally and disciplinarily. Notably, Damian Strojek, an enthusiastic student from the Communications School Complex in Gdansk, plays a key role. With a strong interest in computer networks, Damian possesses certifications in CCNA R&S and CCNA Security.

Moreover, Jerzy Kluczewski adds his expertise as a seasoned CISCO CCNA Academy instructor, with a repertoire of published works on the Packet Tracer simulator. His professional journey includes substantial industry experience, supplemented by his current role as a lecturer at the Gdansk School of Banking.

The task of translating the book into English was undertaken by Julia Skutela, an accomplished student of applied linguistics from the Silesian University in Katowice. Fluent in English and Russian, Julia is pursuing a career in professional translation and embraced the challenge of translating this comprehensive guide. Her eagerness to further her skills and build her translation portfolio is evident in her work on this project."
