Thanks for all who entered our April Cisco Press Author Expert book giveaway competition. The winners have been notified and the books are winging their way to the winners as I blog. The answers to the trivia question and the names of the winners follow.
There’s still plenty of time to enter to win May’s Cisco Press Author Expert book giveaway: Jeff Doyle’s networking bible: Routing TCP/IP Volumes I and II – the deadline for the giveaway is May 31 (read a free chapter of Volume I here and read Jeff’s blog here, exclusively at Cisco Subnet). Just one thing: PLEASE READ THE TRIVIA QUESTIONS THOROUGHLY AND ANSWER CAREFULLY! I have received many entries to win the books, however many of those have incomplete answers.
APRIL BOOK GIVEAWAY QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:
1. Question to win The Business Case for Storage Networks, by Bill Williams: Which storage technology does IT consultant and Network World Test Alliance member Joel Snyder thinks is dead?Fibre Channel (see this story)
Answer:

Edge Control, Core Control, Client Control* Which provider plans to launch a wireless video sharing service this summer? Answer: AT&T (see this story)
Answer:
3. Question to win PacketCable Implementation by Jeff Riddel:
* As always, all the answers to the questions can be found within the pages of NetworkWorld.com. For question 2, I was expecting the answer edge control, core control and client control, as cited in “The NAC labryrinth” an article that’s part of the NAC Cram Session. But I also received entries with this answer: 802.1x, DHCP, and compartmentalization. Not being an expert in NAC, I turned to Mark Kadrich, author of Endpoint Security, the book up for grabs, for his wisdom as to whether the second answer was also correct. He provided a thorough explanation – which I’ve posted here – which gave me confidence to also include entries with that answer into the drawer.
