Sniffer Pro Network Optimization and Troubleshooti

I am a Network Engineer with about 6 years experience in networking and systems. This book is really cool. I have worked on so many networks that needed to be repaired and I wish I had this book years ago when I started learning. This book will not fail you. You will learn how to use the Sniffer, Troubleshoot with it, analyze with it, and best yet, you learn how to find problems in networks and this book tells you how to fix or redesign based on what the problem is. This is one of the better troubleshooting books I have seen. I also like the fact that the authors all work for fortune 500 companies, are certified as Sniffer Experts and CCIE level, how can you go wrong with this book? Hope this helps you as this book has helped me.

This is an excellent book. The chapters on analyzing network issues and reporting are very good. I also liked the chapters on triggers and alarms. The coverage of troubleshooting is solid--three separate chapters, each full of good info and tips.

I've been a HUGE fan of Sniffer for years. I use it ALLTHE TIME to figure out and fix stuff on my networks. I learned how to use it by playing around with it--which is always fun, and reading what I could find on the Web. I never saw a real book on Sniffer Pro before, so I figured I would see what the experts had to say. These guys helped me out a TON with this book. I knew how to do a lot of things before, but now withe this book I think I know it ALL. Thanks :)

I have a lot of experience using Sniffer Pro, so I was actually a little surprised at how much I learned reading this book. The authors do a great job explaining all the functionality and configurations of Sniffer Pro, but the really useful parts for me were all of the examples and scenarios that are used to teach some more advanced troubleshooting and security techniques. These are the skill you really need to develop to effectively use this product.

A great all-in-one resource for those who need to get familiar with Sniffer Pro. Being relatively new to Sniffer Pro, I was unsure what book to pick up for it, but I am very happy with this one! Using this book takes you from the very simple foundations of Sniffer Pro, to installing it and using it, to performing advanced configuration and usage on networks of varying types including ethernet and token ring. This is the best book I have seen for getting up to speed with Sniffer Pro and looks to be a sound investment when it comes time to approach the SCP exam.
