Amazon.com Review

Don't expect handholding in Cisco Routers for IP Routing as it explains the Internet Protocol (IP) suite and how to implement it with Cisco hardware and software. The key components needed to keep a network online are presented--addressing, subnetting, bridging, and routing--but this book assumes readers are generally familiar with the Cisco Internetwork Operating System (IOS) command-line environment, so it doesn't spend much time on the early familiarization process.

The bulk of each chapter contains practical information for setting up systems and solving problems, including lots of procedures and plenty of illustrative router output, plus insights on good design and administration practice. Readers will also find conceptual, hands-off material explaining what the various protocols do and how they do it.

Cisco Routers for IP Routing is rich in prose and presents complex topics with some fine conceptual diagrams. However, it explains only enough to help you understand the practical material that follows. For a really thorough understanding of IP concepts, supplement this manual with Thomas A. Maufer's more in-depth IP Fundamentals: What Everyone Needs to Know About Addressing & Routing. --David Wall

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book with examples of command output, November 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Cisco Routers for IP Routing Little Black Book: The Definitive Guide to Deploying and Configuring Cisco Routers (Paperback)

This book is an EXCELLENT buy. For the price you can't beat it. I love the way it show you examples of commands, with the output. That is invaluable. It also show examples of entire config. files.

The only thing I wish it had were examples of the actual prompts before each command. Each example has the same default prompt, so it is difficult to see what mode the command was typed in.

All in all, though, the book is a must buy for anyone who works with routers, or is studying for Cisco certification.

Ok. So you've got all the Cisco Press Books. And you think what good is one little black book going to make. This is one of the most practical books on Cisco so far. The other one written from a practical approach was a title by McGraw-Hill.

This book is a winner. The author literally packs so much information in so few pages! unbelievable.

This book covers almost everything : Bridging, Routing protocols, Frame-Relay, Redistribution etc.

Highly Recommended. You wont be sorry. Invaluable for the CCIE Lab. Get this book plus Bruce Caslow's.

This book does an excellent job of calling small details to your attention that sometimes slide right by you when using larger books. Between this and Jeff Doyle's TCP/IP book, you'll be covered for the written exam and have a firm foundation for the lab. A must for your library and my compliments to the author!
