A Good Buy

Good reference material to have around in printed form. Get one for yourself!

Canned Straight From CCO - But Nice to Have in Book Format

This stuff comes straight from Cisco Connection Online - with a few added wrinkles.. It is nice to have it in compact form, espescailly for those who hate reading from a screen. Still, not as good a Sam Halabi's book, "Internet Routing Architectures" in terms of depth of content.

*Great* CCIE exam prep - but not a configuration guide!

This books is probably the best guide to designing networks with Cisco products that I've seen... and very important to someone preparing for the CCIE exam. Where R. Giles' "Cisco CCIE Study Guide" is geared toward preparation for the written exam, this book focuses more on the Cisco practicals needed for the lab exam. The case studies, especially, provide insights into the kinds of scenarios one might see during the lab test. My only complaint is that some of the included configuration examples have incorrect command syntax. The only way to tell, however, is to try it in a lab, or refer back to the Cisco documentation. As painful as that can be, it's also good practice for the lab exam!

Essential desk reference for any network engineer

I picked up this book at 1:00, and by 3:00 had copies of it for all the network engineers in our staff. Without a doubt, the best design and implementation guide (checklists for everything) I've seen on routing and switching technology. Very strong chapters relating to SNA, ATM, and multimedia integration. If you maintain or design networks with with Cisco routers, you need this book.

Oh My God! What A Wonderful Book! Highly RECOMMENDED!

Straight forward descriptions, best desktop reference to date, overall content includes cirtually all scenarios you will run into working in the industry and what you may encounter on the exam. This is a MUST HAVE book for anyone working with Cisco products.
