Cisco Routers for the Small Business: A Practical Guide for IT Professionals


Cisco Routers for the Small Business provides in plain English a no–nonsense approach to setting up all the features of the Cisco IOS for a small business using broadband technologies. This book explains how to use a Cisco router to setup cable modems, DSL and PPPoE, and explains how to configure NAT, Access Control Lists, Firewalls, DMZs and an IPSec VPN between two sites using advanced encryption. The chapters are tutorial based and provide easy to follow, step–by–step instructions for all tasks that small businesses need to perform using a router. Easy–to–implement example configurations are included in the appendices.
* Written for the small–business using common, broadband connections such as Cable internet and DSL.
* Provides easily–followed, step–by–step instructions for tasks that small businesses need to perform, such as configuring virtual private network (VPN) connections, creating firewalls, securing the router, and more.
* Contains appendixes with example configurations that are short, to the point, and dead–simple to implement.
What you’ll learn
* Securely configure Internet connections for your business using Cisco’s IOS command–language.
* Create virtual private networks (VPNs) that bring remote offices and employees onto your network, safely, via standard DSL and Cable Internet connections.
* Set up network address translation (NAT) routing so that your in–office computers are effectively invisible to outside intruders.
* Back up and recover your router configuration.
* Create “demilitarized zones” (DMZs) in support of servers that you wish to make accessible from outside your more secure, internal network.
* Protect your email server from attack using Cisco’s Email Inspection Engine.
Who is this book for?
Cisco Routers for the Small Business is intended for Network Administrators, Power–users, and I.T. Professionals who support small business networks 1.2M pdf

Path Routing in Mesh Optical Networks

Path Routing in Mesh Optical Networks

Product Description
Transport networks evolved from DCS (Digital Cross-connect Systems)-based mesh architectures, to SONET/SDH (Synchronous Optical Networking/Synchronous Digital Hierarchy) ring architectures in the 1990’s. In the past few years, technological advancements in optical transport switches have allowed service providers to support the same fast recovery in mesh networks previously available in ring networks while achieving better capacity efficiency and resulting in lower capital cost.

Optical transport networks today not only provide trunking capacity to higher-layer networks, such as inter-router connectivity in an IP-centric infrastructure, but also support efficient routing and fast failure recovery of high-bandwidth services. This is possible due to the emergence of optical network elements that have the intelligence required to efficiently control the network. Optical mesh networks will enable a variety of dynamic services such as bandwidth-on-demand, Just-In-Time bandwidth, bandwidth scheduling, bandwidth brokering, and optical virtual private networks that open up new opportunities for service providers and their customers alike.

Path Routing in Mesh Optical Networks combines both theoretical as well as practical aspects of routing and dimensioning for mesh optical networks. All authors have worked as technical leaders for the equipment vendor Tellium who implemented such capabilities in its product, and whose product was deployed in service provider networks.

Path Routing in Mesh Optical Networks

  • Presents an in-depth treatment of a specific class of optical networks, i.e. path-oriented mesh optical networks.
  • Focuses on routing and recovery, dimensioning, performance analysis and availability in mesh optical networks.

  • Explains and analyses routing specifically associated with Dedicated Backup Path Protection (DBPP) and Shared Backup Path Protection (SBPP) recovery architectures.

As most of the core backbone networks evolve to mesh topologies utilizing intelligent network elements for provisioning and recovery of services, Path Routing in Mesh Optical Networks will be an invaluable tool for both researchers and engineers in the industry who are responsible for designing, developing, deploying and maintaining mesh optical networks. It will also be a useful reference book for graduate students and university professors who are interested in optical networks or telecommunications networking.
