Great Book - Even for a CCNP Refresher

This is a good book to use because it explains certain things in a clear fashion without being inaccurate and too basic. The things to be had in this book that you cannot easily find elsewhere are: 1. section on the high end routers 2. IGRP for IPX and IGRP for appletalk 3. Good summary information for routing protocol configuration: rip (v1 and v2), ospf, igrp, and even IS-IS and eigrp for more than just ip (only advanced BGP is covered in the last chapter). 4. Bridging with a router. 5. Dialer Maps AND Dialer Profiles. 6. VPNs with Crypto-maps 7. HSRP. This book is a good supplement for the CCNA and CCNP course materials and helps to "round-out" the CCNA and CCNP materials. Reading over certain parts helps to refresh your understanding of the CCNP materials and impart subtleties such as: IPX RIP and IPX EIGRP destribute routes between each other by default.

Excellent on concepts and implementation

I bought this book after getting frustrated by Cisco's Advanced Router Configuration's lack of implementation examples. This book covers all I need. I'm not trying to certify, I just have routers at work that I need to configure. Concerning practical information on day to day and initial operations of Cisco routers, this book is the best that I have found. It covers Cisco's Basic and Advanced Router Configuration books in one, and it does a much better job of making the reader understand how to implement the concepts. Definate buy!

Excellent choice

So far this has been an excellent resource for people getting into CISCO routers. I have recommended this to atleast 50 of my students and they have all loved it. This fills in all the gaps that usually students have. As a trainer myself I think this book answers all the questions that most people have when they are starting with Cisco routers.Excellent choice. I give it an A++

Valuable Resource

I found this book to be informative and accurate and at the same time very readable. It fills the gap that others have left, revealing the lesser-known nuances of the WAN environment, providing detailed information that I was able to use the very next day. The Wan may be UP, but is it running efficiently? This book enabled the fine-tuning of resources and bandwidth that saved me money.
