[c-nsp] Learning Resources...

[Raymond Macharia]

Hello Justine,
first I would suggest that you sign up for some of the network mailing lists
and you can also review the archives for any specific issues, Cisco NSP is a
good start there are others like NANOG ( more for service providers but the
principles apply to large networks as well) etc, if you can do get a few
networking books that would be useful as well, check the oreilly range, they
are generic and not vendor equipment specific and usually thorough and
finally make the net your friend. below is a list of websites that I pulled
out of a mailing list, cannot take the credit for it, someone else did the
wonderful work:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Change+Management
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Network+Management
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Daily-Operations-tasks+network

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Change+Order
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Trouble-Ticketing-system
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=escalation+procedures
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=troubleshooting+processes
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=backup+procedures
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Network-Inventory
http://www.networkingbooks.org/


The Cisco site has also a huge repository of documents that you can
search through that deal with Networking in general for example:
