"The Switch Book" by Rich Seifert " is very good. But there are a lot new features developed after that book published. Does Rich have any plan for next edition? or any new switch book covered more last five years technology?
Thanks your advice, steve
I have discussed doing a second edition with my publisher, to cover exactly the sort of things the poster implies: RSTP, MSTP, Authentication, Provider Bridges, etc. Unfortunately, my current time commitments prevent me from working on this project, but that may change over the next year. I don't know of any single book today that adequately covers the developments in switch technology over the past 5 years; most of the information may be available only from the standards themselves, or from various "white papers" and similar vendor documentation.

Slacker! :)
I find that in general, there is a dearth of REALLY good technical books. Too bad really. I hope you find the time to write the second edition!
