About This Manual

About This Manual

Document Objectives

This publication provides technical information on Cisco-supported internetworking technologies. It is designed for use in conjunction with other Cisco manuals or as a standalone reference.

The Internetworking Technology Overview is not intended to provide all possible information on the included technologies. Because a primary goal of this publication is to help network administrators configure Cisco products, the publication emphasizes Cisco-supported technologies; however, inclusion of a technology in this publication does not necessarily imply Cisco support for that technology.

Audience

The Internetworking Technology Overview is written for anyone who wants to understand internetworking technologies. Cisco anticipates that many readers will use information in this publication to help configure Cisco products, but others also may find it useful.

Readers will better understand the material in this publication if they are familiar with networking terminology. The Cisco Internetworking Terms and Acronyms publication is a useful reference for those with minimal knowledge of networking terms.

Document Organization

This publication is divided into seven parts. Each part is concerned with introductory material or a major area of internetworking technology and comprises chapters describing related tasks or functions.

  • Part 1, "Internetworking Basics," presents concepts basic to the understanding of internetworking and network management.

  • Part 2, "LAN Protocols," describes various protocols and technologies used in local area network (LAN) environments.

  • Part 3, "WAN Protocols," describes various protocols and technologies used in a wide area network (WAN) environments.

  • Part 4, "Bridging and Switching," describes protocols used to provide connectivity between subnetworks and implement packet switching.

  • Part 5, "Network Protocols," describes standard network protocol stacks that can be routed through an internetwork.

  • Part 6, "Routing Protocols," describes protocols used to route information through an internetwork.

  • Part 7, "Network Management," describes network management protocols, architectures, and technologies.
