Amazon.com Review
Focusing on what you need to know to get what you want from your Cisco router and its operating system, Cisco IOS Essentials will get new users up to speed in a hurry. After a brief introduction to the science of linking networks together, Albritton explains how to do the initial configuration of a Cisco 2520 router. (He uses the 2500 series, running IOS 11.x, in all his examples.) Through the book's intelligent guidance, you'll get instructions on plugging in cables and on IOS, its command set, and configuration management subsequent to initial setup. (Configuration coverage includes DNS configuration, backup operations, and security.)
IP configuration components are explored, including subnetting and the operation of the Cisco Discovery Protocol. You'll also find good coverage of dynamic routing over IP networks (with RIP, OSPF and IGRP, and EIGRP). --David Wall
From the Publisher
The CCIE author truly understands his subject and makes it easy for you to understand, too. He gives you a well-organized layout that puts all the information you need for any given job in one place.
In these pages, you'll find help with all common multi-protocol routing and bridging configurations from IP through VINES and WANs, plus a comprehensive A-to-Z command reference.
In short, John Albritton's Cisco IOS Essentials is the professional reference that's been missing on the system that makes Cisco work an orderly, clear presentation of how to proceed with any given configuration task, and the most convenient available quick reference on all IOS commands. As the author says, "You will see that configuring IOS to perform basic routing and bridging of network messages is pretty easy; it can be done by learning and putting into practice just a few basic commands. Of course, IOS is not always intuitive; that's why you need this book." Cisco IOS Essentials is essential for Cisco administrators and network engineers or at least the ones who want to know the easy way to do it right.

An excellent book for non-experts.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cisco IOS Essentials (Paperback)
This is the only Cisco router book I've seen that does a good job of actually explaining what something is and how to do it. It answered a lot of my questions. Unless your already an expert, this book is a must.

This book will make you an expert!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cisco IOS Essentials (Paperback)
Of all the books about Cisco routers this is one that you will want to add to your shelf. It does not focus too much on theory, but it focuses much on the nitty-gritty, the hands on knowledge that you need in the industry. I suggest this book for anyone pursuing a certification or who need any extensive knowledge concerning the configuration of Cisco Routers.

This book was big help with learning syntax. I've worked on Bay Routers for years, this helped me find my way around. It is good source of info not just answers to exam questions.
