Computer Networking A Top Down Approach

http://www.aw-bc.com/kurose-ross/ 800 page book, does cover Wireshark, a little much on the

Computer Science side and not as focuses and the Home and Small Buisness

CCNA 1: Network Fundamentals (networks, protocols, layering, addressing, OSI, applications (Google

Earth, AIM/IM, IRC, P2P, DNS, SMB, WWW, SMTP, FTP, DHCP), TCP/UDP, IPv4, QoS, ICMP, subnetting,

ARP, linklayers, topologies, MAC, physical layer, Ethernet, network design, configuration, testing using

packet tracer, wireshark, ping o.l.).

you will examine the technologies and operation of Ethernet. You will use Wireshark®, Packet Tracer activities, and

lab exercises to explore Ethernet.

Try Packet Tracer 4.1. It has the most features of the two and is visually superior that will help you

visulaize details that Boson can not touch. You can set up servers and test your extended ACL's. You cant

do this in Boson. You can do more with it and it is used exclusively used with the new CCNA curriculum.

The PDU's you can manually do are a nice touch.

Boson sucks. Really. I hated using it down to setting up a topology that you could not change on the fly.

Out of the two I have found Packet Tracer 4.1 to be better and more fun to use. For the CCNA level it is

enough.

Try and find the new CCNA Discovery and Exploration and do the labs using Pack Tracer 4.1. They have

made it very easy and I think the new currciulum is the best they have done. I just started looking at it

last week and it is better than what I had last year with CCNA v.3.1 (old green modules) . The new is

better written with better features and it is more focused. ISDN is out and Security is in. cool stuff.

Packet Tracer 4.1

I setup a simulation with the smallest router and was not able to interlink the two routers together. I

think this is because the router NICs are not present for connecting the two together; while both

connect to switches they don’t connect with each other. I had to go to the next router model to connect

them together. I added the network numbers and overcame inproperly configured ips for the interfaces

and then restarted up/down on the links until everything was green
