To enhance your knowledge about network devices deeply, I recommend the following books and resource

CCNA 200-301 Official Cert Guide and Network Simulator Library, Second Edition

 If you are new to networking and you want to become a network engineer, you need to learn concepts. No one is actually expected to know every device type and features on top of head because we have all this written in documents. Basically, you need to use the internet and read the datasheet, where all this information is located.

 Start by learning  TCP/IP, OSI model, subnetting, etc. Concepts.

Hello  @Nader ibrahimi ,

there are some good old books that can help

and  this

Modern books add IPv6.

Hope  to help

@Nader ibrahimi If you're starting from scratch with networking devices like switches and routers, I recommend beginning with "CCNA 200-301 Official Cert Guide" by Wendell Odom. It's beginner-friendly and covers the basics of networking, including different switch and router models, their features, and supported protocols. You can also explore Cisco’s Networking Academy (NetAcad) for free courses that provide hands-on labs. For specific details about models like the 2960 or 2950, Cisco’s official documentation and data sheets are great resources.
