But it focuses on IP routing. This book contains lots of information on analyzing IP routing processes but other than the includion of IS-IS, there are no non-IP routing protocols covered. A more appropriate name for this book would be "Cisco Router IP Configuration: Answers!". Extra credit is given for not taking 10 pages to explain a simple concept like most technical books do today. Keeping it short and to the point brought my evaluation up from 3 stars to 4.

The book has question and answer format.

It is good for novices encountering IOS for the first time. It only covers the fundamental configurations and does not really talk about different pitfalls.

I primarily bought it to get some help on BGP cases and it did answer some of my questions regarding route-maps etc. Some of the examples are wrong. For instance on page 196, as-path access list example, refers to access-list 100 but the access list actually later configured is 200... this kind of thing can throw new folks off a little bit.

It does not talk about RSVP and MPLS/Tag switching at all.

Not a must buy but it can help you on and off resolving day to day problems with IOS.

I have never seen this much real life information packed in to such a small package. The title is little misleading, it should be "Routing protocols Answers" but it's well worth the price. I learned a lot from this book, and I have been involved with networking for over 10 years. Definitely a buy.

This is an awsome book for study and ref.
