Networking guru provides network managers with the most comprehensive guide to LAN switching technologies available! One of the hottest issues in LAN networking today is making the change from bridging to switching technologies.

Comprehensive and Detailed - pithy yet lively
If you knew of someone who had far-reaching, comprehensive knowledge of a subject based on in-the-trenches experience, you'd want to get your hands on anything s/he wrote about, wouldn't you?
This book is such a book! Having taken his course on Switch theory, I can vouch for his knowledge and experience. But what is rare is that Mr. Seifert actually conveys that knowledge in a thought provoking, lively gem.
Noone in networking should be without this book. It covers bridge/switch theory, ethernet details, spanning tree, link aggregation, VLANs, priority operation, management, and more.
And, it's readable! Coffee not required!
