About this product: In a local area network (LAN) or intranet, there are many pieces of hardare trying to gain access to the network transmission media at the same time (i.e., phone lines, coax, wireless, etc.). However, a network cable or wireless transmission frequency can physically only allow one node to use it at a given time. Therefore, there must be some way to regulate which node has control of the medium (a media access control, or MAC, protocol). Ethernet is a MAC protocol; it is one way to regulate physical access to network tranmission media.
Ethernet networking is used primarily by networks that are contained within a single physical location. If you need to design, install, and manage a network in such an envronment, i.e., home or small business office, then this book will give you an in-depth understanding of the technology involved in an Ethernet network.
One of the major goals of this book is to demystify the jargon of networks so that the reader gains a working familiarity with common networking terminology and acronyms.
In addition, this books explains not only how to choose and configure network hardware but also provides practical information about the types of network devices and software needed to make it all work. Tips and direction on how to manage an Ethernet network are also provided.
This book therefore goes beyond the hardware aspects of Ethernet to look at the entire network from bottom to top, along with enough technical detail to enable the reader to make intelligent choices about what types of transmission media are used and the way in which the various parts of the network are interconnected.
*Explains how the Ethernet works, with emphasis on current technologies and emerging trends in gigabit and fast Ethernet, WiFi, routers, and security issues *Teaches how to design and select complementary components of Ethernet networks with a focus on home and small business applications *Discuses the various types of cables, software, and hardware involved in constructing, connecting, operating and monitoring Ethernet networks

About this product: This book introduces you to Nortel's Ethernet Routing Switch (ERS) platforms, including ERS 8600, ERS 8300, ERS 5500, ERS 4500, and ERS 2500.
This book is divided into two parts; each will help you prepare for a Nortel Professional Certification exam. The first part of this book introduces the Nortel Converged Campus Architecture. Three standard designs, encompassing different sizing and feature requirements, are discussed in detail. For each design, you will learn the ERS product placement and the Nortel recommended best practices. You will be introduced to the latest features of the ERS 8600 5.0 software, including network virtualization, Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), and the IPVPN solution. In addition, you'll learn how the ERS 8300 4.1 software expands its capability as a core switch by adding Routed Split MultiLink Trunking (RSMLT). You will learn how these latest features of ERS Campus core products compliment and extend your network design solutions. Detailed discussion of the underlying ERS technologies that provide performance, scalability, quality of service (QoS), and resilience are also included. This part can also help you gain the necessary knowledge to design small, medium, and large converged campus solutions following the Nortel best practices design recommendations.
The first part of this book will help prepare you for the Nortel Certified Design Specialist (NCDS) Nortel Converged Campus ERS Solution (920-220) Nortel Professional Certification exam.
The second part of the book builds upon part one and explores the installation process for Nortel ERS, including licensing and Power over Ethernet (PoE) configurations. This part discusses the processes involved in the implementation of Nortel's small, medium, and large converged campus solutions. Hardware resiliency, power considerations, and physical links are discussed along with Ethernet switching technologies, including link detection/protection, link resiliency, Layer 2 and Layer 3 security, Layer 3 routing, and QoS.
Both part one and part two of this book will help prepare you for the Nortel Certified Support Specialist (NCSS) Nortel Converged Campus ERS Installation & Configuration (920-221) Nortel Professional Certification exam.
