5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent WIDE coverage of MANY areas., March 27, 2002

By	Ron C. (Sunnyvale, CA. United States) - See all my reviews

This is a great value and thus a must-buy. It's unfortunate that Amazon doesn't have a TOC, so people can see all the numerous topics covered (and the topics do seem to be covered in good detail). I think it covers every of a couple dozen relevant topics. There are 2 chapters at the end (appendix?) which cover the basics of networking, which is either a plus if you can use this, or just ignore them if you're a "heavy". And there's an interesting substantial QUIZ chapter/appendix.
I'm SURE you'll be glad you bot this one!

4.0 out of 5 stars Already finding ideas for my job from this book., October 27, 2002

By	Michael J Woznicki "Michael J Woznicki" (Holland, MA USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Network security is fast becoming a most important job. It is imperative that you know the right way, the best way and if your equipment is Cisco, the Cisco way. This book may very well the bible for Cisco Security policy.

The authors have put together some of the best work on ACL and firewall using PIX. The detail is nothing short of amazing and their ability to make the subject matter is also a plus for this book.

One area that I am not all that familiar with is the CISCO AAA, but after reading the 70 pages, I was amazed at amount of information included and also how important AAA is to creating a high secure network.

There also detailed coverage of VPN technologies, the only thing I found strange was that networking basics is at the end of book rather than the beginning. There are review questions at the end of each chapter and about a half dozen labs to work with.

Not written o any specific exam, this book can and should help with all Cisco security exams as well as several industry exam like Security+. Overall some of the best reading and learning I have all year.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book, October 17, 2002

With so many books on Cisco products it is difficult to decide which one to buy. Believe me...this one is the best.....While most books concentrate on one kind of Cisco products...this books talks about all....so u don't need to buy 2 or 3 books if you want to know about all the products....And the best part is that this book has the configuration and installation procedures for ALL products......
