The ICND exam is one of the two qualifying exams available to candidates pursuing a two-exam option for the Cisco Certified Network Associate CCNA certification. The ICND (640-811) exam will test materials from the new Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices (ICND) course. The exam will certify that the successful candidate has important knowledge and skills necessary to select, connect, configure, and troubleshoot the various Cisco networking devices. The exam covers topics on Extending Switched Networks with VLANS, Determining IP Routes, Managing IP traffic with Access Lists, Establishing Point-to-Point connections, and Establishing Frame Relay Connections.The following information provides general guidelines for the content likely to be included on the Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Exam. However, other related topics may also appear on any specific delivery of the exam.

Computer Sciences reviews the history of the discipline, concepts and profiles contributors in the field. The impact of computers on society is explored, with examples in literature and film to illustrate and support trends. These illustrated volumes also include sidebars, bibliographies, filmographies, timelines, charts, a glossary and individual and cumulative indexes.

IP/MPLS VPNs are compelling for many reasons. For enterprises, they enable right-sourcing of WAN services and yield generous operational cost savings. For service providers, they offer a higher level of service to customers and lower costs for service deployment.

Migration comes with challenges, however. Enterprises must understand key migration issues, what the realistic benefits are, and how to optimize new services. Providers must know what aspects of their services give value to enterprises and how they can provide the best value to customers.

Selecting MPLS VPN Services helps you analyze migration options, anticipate migration issues, and properly deploy IP/MPLS VPNs. Detailed configurations illustrate effective deployment while case studies present available migration options and walk you through the process of selecting the best option for your network. Part I addresses the business case for moving to an IP/MPLS VPN network, with a chapter devoted to the business and technical issues you should review when evaluating IP/MPLS VPN offerings from major providers. Part II includes detailed deployment guidelines for the technologies used in the IP/MPLS VPN.

This CD features the MCSA/MCSE Windows Server 2003 Network Simulator. The MCSA/MCSE Windows Server 2003 Network Simulator is a training product designed to supplement your certification studies by simulating a Windows network in an interactive environment.

Mobile users are demanding fast and efficient ubiquitous connectivity supporting data applications. This connectivity has to be provided by various different networks and protocols which guarantee that mobile networks function efficiently, performing routing and handoff for mobile users.
Hac proposes a comprehensive design for mobile communications including mobile agents, access networks, application protocols, ubiquitous connectivity, routing, and handoff. It covers the entire spectrum of lower and upper layer protocols to evaluate and design modern mobile telecommunications systems. Furthermore, the aspects of modern mobile telecommunications for applications, networking, and transmission are described.

For mobile users and data applications these are new networking and communications solutions, particularly for the local area network environment.

* Describes the recent advances in mobile telecommunications, their protocols and management
* Covers hot topics such as mobile agents, access networks, wireless applications protocols, wireless LANs, architecture, routing and handoff
* Introduces and analyses architecture and design issues in mobile communications and networks
* Includes a section of questions/problems/answers after each chapter

The book is written as a practical, easily accessible tutorial with many figures and examples of existing protocols and architectures making it essential reading for engineers, system engineers, researchers, managers, senior & graduate students.
