Managing & Securing a Cisco Structured Wireless-Aware Networ

Everything you need to design and deploy a secure and accessible Cisco SWAN The Structured Wireless-Aware Networking (SWAN) solutions from Cisco Systems are excellent tools. With Cisco's hardware and software-some of it specific to the wireless portions of your network, some of it part of the Internetwork Operating System (IOS) and the routers on which it runs-you can allow the kind of access you want to allow, and prevent unauthorized access. It's a technical challenge, and Cisco's products go a long way toward providing a solution. But A tool is only as good as the person who wields it, and the quality of your Cisco wireless implementation will be proportional to your level of knowledge about the relevant equipment and protocols. That's where this book comes in. It covers the whole range of knowledge you need to design and deploy a good Cisco SWAN installation, from the basics of communicating data over radio waves to specific IOS commands to be used in implementing quality of service (QoS) for packet telephony and VLANs for compartmentalized access.
