Great book but out of date. Rating (4) Date: 2004-05-03 2 out of 2 customers found this reveiw helpful This book is great, but little out of date. Cisco has released many new hardware as well as software wireless technology. I recommend "Managing and Securing a Cisco® Structured Wireless-Aware Network" which is the updated version.

With out the Cisco AP Family... Rating (3) Date: 2004-04-14 1 out of 1 customers found this reveiw helpful There isn't any word on new Cisco AP family based on IOS software. This is a problem today.

A must have for WLAN configs Rating (5) Date: 2003-06-23 Like many people, I set up my first wireless network without any instruction. I used the cheapest equipment available. As you read or reference sections in this book, you realize that by using good quality equipment you increase reliability and services within your WLAN. The book is clearly written and is easy to use as a reference. That said, I have read the book from cover to cover. The book gives detailed information about settings on Cisco devices such as the 340 and 350 series. Although the wireless field - specifically IEEE 802.11b - is changing rapidly, this book contains information that is great for intermediate to advanced wireless network installers.

Excellent review of Cisco WLANs! Rating (5) Date: 2003-06-20 1 out of 1 customers found this reveiw helpful While this book is slightly out of date (Cisco has released some new WLAN equipment since it was published), it still presents a wealth of information on Cisco WLAN components. Even if you are totally new to the field of WLANs, the book spends the first two chapters covering WLAN technology and concepts. After that, you are off to the races with Cisco specific products. The reamining seven chapters covers network design, wireless bridges, access points, client adapters, WLAN security and accessories. A great deal of information. In addition, if you are interested in obtaining either or both of the Cisco WLAN specialization certifications (WLAN Field Engineer and WLAN Design Engineer), then I can say from experience that this book is a must read to help pass the tests. Once again, another great book from Syngress!

needs to be updated Rating (2) Date: 2003-04-21 2 out of 2 customers found this reveiw helpful Although good, It does not have documentation on Access Point 1200 and new authentication mechanisms such as PEAP etc. Otherwise has some good details, in additon to documentation that can also be found on Cisco website. Recommend not to buy until new edition comes out and it gets updated.
