I wanted to include as much new stuff as possible, but I also wanted to refine the original material to make it more current and accurate. I didn&#8217;t remove much information, except to replace it with newer or better examples.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s new in the second edition of Network Warrior? Here&#8217;s a bulleted list:<!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Almost every chapter has updated examples. Where applicable, there are now examples from CatOS, IOS and NX-OS based switches.<\/li>\n<li>Most of the examples that used Catalyst 3550 switches in the first edition have been updated with output from 3750s<\/li>\n<li>Examples that used older interfaces like 10Mbps Ethernet have been updated to show Gigabit interfaces on modern devices<\/li>\n<li>Chapters that used PIX firewalls have been updated to show examples from ASA appliances<\/li>\n<li>The Cisco PIX chapter had been replaced with a Cisco ASA chapter. New features such as firewall contexts and active-active standby are covered as well<\/li>\n<li>New technology is included. For example the chapter on Etherchannel (now called Link Aggregation) includes explanations and examples for MultiChassis Etherchannel (MEC) and Virtual Port-Channels (vPC)<\/li>\n<li>Most references to Solaris have been replaced or removed<\/li>\n<li>The Catalyst 6500 chapter has been expanded to include VSS and MEC<\/li>\n<li>There is a new chapter covering Cisco Nexus switches. This chapter covers features,\u00a0hardware information, new technology and NX-OS configuration examples from both Nexus 5000s and 7000s<\/li>\n<li>There is a new chapter on VoIP which walks the reader though designing and building a SOHO telephony system using a Cisco 2811 router, Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express (CUCME), Cisco IP Phones and Cisco Unity Express (Detailed CUE configuration is not covered). Both H323 and SIP examples are included<\/li>\n<li>There is a new chapter showing how to design and configure a single Cisco Wireless Access Point (WAP) for a SOHO environment<\/li>\n<li>There is a new chapter on the basics of IPv6, complete with useful examples<\/li>\n<li>There is a new chapter showing how third-party MPLS is configured<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition to the new material, all known errata from the first edition has been resolved. Naturally, I&#8217;ve included even more anecdotes from my experience in the field \u2014\u00a0especially the ones where I&#8217;ve made horrible mistakes so you don&#8217;t have to.<\/p>\n<p>This will likely be the last edition to include CatOS examples. While I still see CatOS in the field as recently as 2011, the frequency in which CatOS appears in the wild does not merit its inclusion in future editions. I&#8217;d love to keep CatOS examples in the book forever, but the second edition of Network Warrior is almost 750 pages in length, and that&#8217;s getting too large. Rest assured that previous editions will still be available online through Safari: \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/safaribooksonline.com\/Corporate\/Index\/\" target=\"_blank\">Safari.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Look for the 2nd edition of Network Warrior to be available in the US in May, 2011.
