Product Description
Never has something cried out for a cookbook quite as much as Cisco's Internetwork Operating System (IOS). IOS is powerful and flexible, but also confusing and daunting. Most tasks can be accomplished in several different ways. And you don't want to spend precious time figuring out which way is best when you're trying to solve a problem quickly. That's what this cookbook is for. Fortunately, most router configuration tasks can be broken down into several more or less independent steps: you configure an interface, you configure a routing protocol, you set up backup links, you implement packet filters and other access control mechanisms. What you really need is a set of recipes that show you how to perform the most common tasks, so you can quickly come up with a good configuration for your site. And you need to know that these solutions work: you don't want to find yourself implementing a backup link at 2 A.M. because your main link is down and the backup link you set up when you installed the router wasn't quite right. Thoroughly revised and expanded, "Cisco IOS Cookbook," 2nd Edition, adds sections on MPLS, Security, IPv6, and IP Mobility, and presents solutions to the most common configuration problems, including: Configuring interfaces of many types, from serial to ATM and Frame Relay Configuring all of the common IP routing protocols (RIP, EIGRP, OSPF, and BGP) Configuring authentication Configuring other services, including DHCP and NTP Setting up backup links, and using HSRP to configure backup routers Managing the router, including SNMP and other solutions Using access lists to control the traffic through the router If you work with Cisco routers, you need a book likethis to help you solve problems quickly and effectively. Even if you're experienced, the solutions and extensive explanations will give you new ideas and insights into router configuration. And if you're not experienced--if you've just been given responsibility for managing a network with Cisco routers--this book could be a job-saver. |

Best Cisco Router Reference Book Ever!!! by Eric OReilly (APO, AP United States)  5 Stars
December 21, 2008
Not only does this book provide excellent config examples, it goes through each line of the config and explains what the line is doing for the config. It's also the best explaination of the detailed options for each command I have seen in any Cisco book.

Best Cisco Book By Far! by Lab Rat (Florida) 5 Stars
November 10, 2008
I purchased the 1st edition and it is been the best Cisco resource, if you need to find out something quick, reach for this book. So when I saw the 2nd Edition I knew I had to update to it, same great book with even more.

A must have for any Cisco admin by Mr. Kieran D. Omelia (London, UK) 5 Stars
October 13, 2008
I cannot praise this book highly enough.
Published for the engineer by engineers with 'real' real world examples of working configurations.
It has already helped me out with one small functional change which will go to all router throughout the company as part of the default config.
Useful, relevant, easy to find answers & just unbelievably indispensible

Great at handling tasks by Justin M. James (Columbia, SC)  4 Stars
May 29, 2008
You won't be configuring a router from scratch with this book, but it shows you how to handle about 90% of the common scenarios that you'll encounter with a Cisco device. Highly recommended if you are someone like me, who knows just enough IOS to get around and handle the basics, but configure these things maybe once a year and will never know enough IOS to do it on their own.

excellent reference guide for real life work by Andrew Rinaldo 5 Stars
February 28, 2008
This book is pretty much an all in one book, it won't prepare you to pass any exam, but it will help you in your work if you have to do something with your cisco router when it's outside your scope.
i found this book is very well written, it gives you an example of how to configure something, then it will give you a detailed explanation of what it does and other options that you can do to adjust your need.
more things that i found very interesting is the "handling queuing and congestion" part which helped me implement qos for my router and make my network runs better.
there are many other interesting chapters for me, which will be too much to review. but i will recommend this to any body who works with cisco devices to get this book for in job reference or even just for study because this book will teach you more than what a ccna can do.

by Thomas Akin (Author)
As a network administrator, auditor or architect, you know the importance of securing your network and finding security solutions you can implement quickly. This succinct book departs from other security literature by focusing exclusively on ways to secure Cisco routers, rather than the entire network. The rational is simple: If the router protecting a network is exposed to hackers, then so is the network behind it. Hardening Cisco Routers is a reference for protecting the protectors. ...
