Outstanding practical guide

I had the pleasure of being one of the technical editors for this book. It was my eleventh book edited. I've long since lost count of the number of technical books I've readm but this book stands out from among the others as one of the best I've ever seen. It has a simple-sounding objective: to show how to do particular tasks. It came from the CCIE lab study notes of the authors. As such, it does not promise to explain theory or design. It just shows how to do something. Want to configure "X"? Turn to the page and see the steps. It doesn't matter if "X" is dynamic access lists, NAT, DHCP, Frame Relay, DDR, HSRP or scores of other things - this book is the best "how-to" source I've ever come across.If you are studying for a Cisco cert or just want a reference manual to help you through unfamiliar tasks at work, this is one of the must have books. I use it in my every day work and in my teaching. You will, too.

Good reference guide.

The authors did a great job of presenting the relatively basic information on configuring Cisco routers. You will find quite a few useful IOS commands discussed in the book that will want to keep it as a handy reference. I would also suggest looking into getting "Cisco IOS for IP Routing" by Andrew Colton. That book would take you deeper into mechanics of modern routing protocols (EIGRP, OSPF, IS-IS, BGP), along with a discussion of Cisco IOS commands.

Step by Step Configuration - Priceless tool

This is a truly practical book. It features material most often configured on Cisco routers and gives the reader a step-by-step description of how to implement it. This is not a book for people seeking to learn networking, or the theory behind protocols and IOS features. It is just as the title says, a manual with "no nonsense" how-to's. A good quick reference when you don't have the Cisco documentation CD and need to implement something fast.

Yup, it's EXCELLENT: tons of useful, practical stuff.

This is one of the more [dare I say "most"] USEFUL Cisco Press books. It mainly consist of the actually useful commands one would use in everyday work. Take a look at the TOC to see the WIDE variety of areas covered. [in my opinion:] Finally, must-buy from Cisco Press!

No nonsense approach to a no nonsense subject.

Working with routers means be able to configure them and as everyone knows there are far too many commands to remember and also far too many switches with the commands. Cisco Press has put together a book that should be on every router technician's desk.The authors have put together a straight to the point - no nonsense 650 page reference manual that has over 90 real world examples to learn from and use in the every day work. By starting the book with interface basics the authors are making no assumptions as to the skill level of the technician, this making this book useful for everyone.After that you learn to setup dialing options, work with layer 2 switching, including bridging, SRB and RSRB techniques. Moving on then comes IP addressing and services like HSRP, DHCP and NAT. Then onto the routing protocols with RIP and RIP2, IGRP, EIRGP, OSPF, IS-IS, BGP and MBGP.Other protocols discussed and covered include IPX and AppleTalk. The authors make sure the cover the QOS topics of VPN, BGP, CAR and GTS with examples broken down to make the concepts easier to follow.After that there are voice and telephony examples. Since this book is tailored to the router technician I am already make good use of the book.
