From the Back Cover The most in-depth guide to the capabilities, application, and design of LAN switches and switched internetworksWritten by an innovator who has been at the forefront of networking technology for more than two decades, this comprehensive book covers everything you need to know about LAN switching. Packed with the most up-to-date and complete information on LAN switches, this book: * Explains how switches and bridges operate, and explores implementation and performance issues * Details how switches can be deployed in both homogeneous and heterogeneous LAN environments * Provides a comprehensive explanation of the Spanning Tree Protocol * Covers source rou
One of ze best !! Praveen Mohan The main reason I'm writing this review is that I feel that this book is not getting the readership it "rich"ly deserves.Rich covers the basics of Lans with elan (all puns copyrighted).You will understand the concepts and implementation of bridging thus allowing you to view routing in a better perspective.Rich's laws of networking are absolutely gems: a chapter summarized into a line.His excellent and generous use of flowcharts and diagrams deserve some stars by themselves.Also the description of the protocols, the tradeoffs made during t. Excellent book for learning all about switching Craig L Wiesner Rich Seifert has played a significant role in the development of Ethernet and other high-speed LAN standards and is the perfect person to write a book on this subject. Also an excellent teacher, Rich knows how to take the reader from basic introductory information through comprehensive technical details, with an often humorous writing style that works for advanced-level engineers and ordinary people like me who are mathematically-challenged!If you need to design, install, or manage networks with switching and need to fully understand Laye. JOY to read. Ozdal Barkan There are many books on LANs and switching. Most of them are too basic and not well written. "The Switch Book" is a rarity in this crowded field. It covers a lot of different aspects of switching in great detail, yet the book is so well written that it can be read in a week! I read it four times from cover to cover now and every time I learned something new. At our company we require every new application engineer to buy this book. I will love to see Mr. Seiffert write a follow up to this book covering more advanced topics. It is reading
Seifert helps you gain a clear understanding of the often-complex features and options available in LAN switches, along with detailed explanations of the latest technology enhancements-including previously unpublished information on Link Aggregation, Virtual LANs, and Layer 3 switches.
