5.0 out of 5 stars Good overall coverage, April 7, 2000

By 

jdwyer (San Bruno, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cisco Router Troubleshooting Handbook (Paperback)

This book is well written and easy to read. It appears to be geared towards intermediate level users, and it does a good job in catering to that audience. Beginners will be lost, and CCIE candidates already know the stuff. His approach works quite well. He always starts with a simple network and lists the configuration. Then he introduces a deliberate misconfiguration and walks through the logic of how to recognize the problem, e.g. you get to see the results of misconfigured subnet masks. At least half of the book is oriented at troubleshooting ip routing protocols, IGRP/EIGRP/OSPF/BGP etc, so if you're not looking for that, it will probably be of less use. There are chapters on Trouble shooting Data link layers, but you won't find stuff on appletalk, vines, sna etc. Nevertheless, this book seems good for folks that already have some experience or for advanced users that want a quick review of common problems. For me, it was money well spent, as I actually did read it from cover to cover. That in itself is worth something, because all to often an author gives complete coverage, but the material puts you to sleep. This is a book that you'll actually read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A REAL-WORLD Cisco troubleshooting guide - Finally!!!, March 31, 2001

This review is from: Cisco Router Troubleshooting Handbook (Paperback)

Normally, I wouldn't buy a text that involves Cisco routers/switches from anyone else other than Cisco Press; but, after researching the author's background (and since this was backed by IDG books, which has a pretty good record of publishing quality texts), I decided to give it a try. I was not disappointed (well, only that I didn't purchased it sooner).

The book is excellent! When a book is about troubleshooting, I expect it to contain real-life situations that can help me at closing time, on a Friday afternoon. This book does not lack that, as opposed to Cisco Press' CIT guide. If you're a network engineer or administrator in-charge of administering and maintaining your Cisco environment, buy this book! I am sure you would not regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT, says my CCNP friend, December 31, 2000

By 

Ron C. - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cisco Router Troubleshooting Handbook (Paperback)

I gave this as a present to a friend (who is a job-hunting "paper" CCNP). He says it's about the BEST of many Cisco books he's read. Very practical & understandable. A must-buy, esp. at the reasonable price!
