Enhanced Ip Services For Cisco Networks

Enhanced IP Services for Cisco Networks is a guide to the new enabling and advanced IOS services that build more scalable, intelligent, and secure networks. Networking professionals will gain an understanding of services that help networks support more users, more locations, and more applications. You will learn the technical details necessary to deploy quality of service and VPN technologies, as well as improved security and advanced routing features. These services will allow you to securely extend the network to new frontiers, protect your network from attacks, an enhance network transport with application-level prioritization. Donald Lee provides a useful and instructive breakdown of each enhanced service: what it is, why you need it, how it works, how to deploy it, how to validate it. This book offers a practical guide to implementing IPsec, the IOS Firewall, and IOS Intrusion Detection System. Also included are advanced routing principles and quality of service features that focus on improving the capability of your network. A good briefing on cryptography fully explains the science that makes VPNs possible. Rather than being another routing book, this is a guide to improving your networks capabilities by understanding and using the sophisticated features available to you in Cisco's IOS software.
