From the Back Cover
Cisco Router Configuration and Troubleshooting, 2nd Edition is a reference for you, the network and system administrator who finds yourself having to configure and maintain existing Cisco routers as well as get new hardware up and running. The authors begins by touching on the foundation behind routing technology: networks, protocols and hardware. Then they jump right into router configuration, discussing setup, local and wide area networking, security and monitoring. The troubleshooting section uses a fictitious company to illustrate the differenct scenarios and administrator might encounter. It includes situations that deal with Cisco routers and well as hardware from other companies, mimicking the heterogeneous environment most administrators face. The author also introduces a troubleshooting methodology to help you implement the suggested practices in the book. This section covers the physical and network layer, as well as the protocols involved in routing technologies.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great examples. Well worth the price!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cisco Router Configuration & Troubleshooting (The Landmark Series) (Textbook Binding)
With the price of Cisco books, it's amazing I was able to find one this complete for less than $30!I am a CCNA who is still fairly new to Cisco products, but not routing. I now work with Cisco products every day and I also have a home lab for the CCNP/CCIE - so this book is worth it's weight in GOLD to me. The thing that impressed me the most is that it goes beyond simple Cisco 800/1600/2500 series router configuration examples and uses many of the high end router IOS commands - so no matter what you are configuring, whether it's a 2501 or a 7000; ISDN, FDDI, Ehternet, or Token Ring; SNMP,TFTP; RIP, BGP, or OSPF; or any of the other major Cisco "must know" items then you need this book. As a CCNP/CCIE candidate AND a Network Administrator I really have an appreciation for the "Case Study" in the book. It *really* shows you what to expect in the real world environment of WANs. BTW, it makes a great CCIE Lab Scenario too! Overall, I feel my money was very well spent. It has already paid for itself. It will be on my desk for a long, long time.

5.0 out of 5 stars
The ultimate NOC Survival Guide!! Better than the first one!,
By PTP, Sr. NetOps Engineer/LAN/WAN Analyst (SFCA) (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cisco Router Configuration and Troubleshooting (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
Excellent! Purchased it based on the reviews of the first one and, sufficed it to say, it's better than I expected... True, many of the concepts, configurations & TS methods covered in this book were short & to the point w/o burning too much candle on it; but then again, you shouldn't be reading this if you're not already experienced in internetworking or have a clue on fundamentals... NOC engineers/Network admins: Get this book! Major headache eliminator.... Beginners/"shortcut" hunters: Do yourself a favor & buy a basic guide on Cisco routing first before tackling this one (at least that'll eliminate blaming the book because you couldn't grasp the information contained in it).

I was very impressed with the troubleshooting perspectives and details as explained by Mark. It was refreshing to find a book that's oriented toward a NOC environment for beginner engineers. Good job, Mark!
