Despite having a good knowledge related to computer networks and even have some certifications on the subject, Luke, a 26-year-old IT analyst has just received a mission to deploy a new network using only HP switches.

Despite being confident in his skills, Luke realizes that he does not know how to configure this brand of equipment and after researching this subject for a while was able to notice a lack of such documentation on the market.

The lack of such documentation was the inspiration to write this book which aims to teach in a practical way how to perform the installation and configuration of a network using HP switches.

Throughout this book, we will follow all stages of Luke's story, which in addition to the installation of a new corporate network will also be responsible for its operation at the end of the project.

This book can be used in a couple of ways. If you read it in a linear way, you will follow the story of Luke, learn how to configure network equipment, how to troubleshoot network issues, how to improve your network environment already established and how to create a virtual laboratory.

If you don´t want to read in a linear way, each chapter also works individually. Therefore, you can just skip to a particular section and use the book as a reference material.
