Basic Router and Switch Configuration

If you do want to configure VoIP networks, Cisco Press offers a wealth of resources. Realize, however, that before you start configuring VoIP networks, you must first know how to perform basic router and switch configuration. Therefore, as an initial step toward your configuration goals, consider the following titles from Cisco Press:

• CCNA Self-Study: Introduction to Cisco Networking Technologies (INTRO) 640-821, 640-801

• CCNA Self-Study: Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices (ICND) 640-811, 640-801, 2nd Edition
