Managing and Securing a Cisco Structured Wireless-Aware Network.pdf

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.
