Full disclosure, I haven't finished the book yet. I have read the Sybex CCNA books, Cisco CCNP related books and other books from Cisco Press on other topics, Security, VOIP etc. For an introduction to Cisco, the Sybex CCNA Study Guide by Todd Lammle I think is great, but I really needed something that would dig in and explain routing protocols in depth. Most of Cisco Press puts me to sleep after a few pages, but on the shelf or desk of just about every network engineer I work with is a copy of Routing TCP/IP, Volume 1 (1st Edition). That title seemed to be the defacto standard for all network engineers, and even some engineers that weren't network engineers, so I decided to pick up a copy only to be surprised that it had been updated with a second edition. I figured I'd start at the beginning, when a situation at work dictated that I jump into some specific routing protocols. I found that this book was what I was hoping it'd be. The authors explain things in such a way that the light bulb went off on the inner workings of the protocol. I found I was getting the in-depth knowledge I needed, not just a gloss over and how to configure the protocol at a basic level. The authors somehow manage to provide a wealth of information, without it just looking like they dumped the Cisco Whitepages on a page. It's definitely a technical book, but the information is provided in such a manner that you feel engaged and want to keep reading more. I'm currently going over OSPF, and there are approximately 80+ pages just going over the details of OSPF before the authors even get into how to configure OSPF. And that's just OSPFv2. There is a separate chapter for OSPfv3. It's a hefty book at approximately 800 pages, but the authors are really presenting a lot of material in a human readable format.Read more ›

Well considering EIGRP does more than just IP my title is wrong, but there isn't I can say about this book that hasn't been said already. I've worked with pretty heavily with every routing protocol jumping in and out of customer networks and I really believe this book helped me the most. Each chapter goes over protocol is great detail everything from the forming adjacency, to metric calculations, and even packet formats. You might thing packet formats are unnecessary but when your running tcpdump to troubleshoot an OSPF adjancency you'll be happy you understand what your looking at.

This is a book I've read over and over, and one I constantly refer back. I can say with certainty this is one book I don't mind paying for twice. I bought it for my kindle as well as the physical book since it's that good.

This book is great for CCNA prep. It is NOT for easy glossing over of concepts. You really need to be interacting with equipment (or a good simulator) to appreciate the information here. There is a lot that is uncovered and as you learn more, you'll find yourself going back to those same sections and learning more that you didn't appreciate the first (or second) time around.

The book is big, but not wasteful. I hate seeing other books that brag about some number of pages (usually 1000 is the magic mark) only to find half of it is huge table of contents, summary after summary, or ridiculously large indexes. Not that kind of wasted space here.

My only caveat is the rather large section on IS-IS. This could be seen as a waste for those not using it. I wouldn't be surprised if this section is much smaller in future editions.

If you're going for in-depth knowledge for CCNA (not just enough to pass the exam, but understanding concepts), this book is a keeper.

Jeff Doyle's Routing TCP/IP Volumes I and II are simply the de facto standard for routing in the Cisco realm. There are no other texts that I can recommend to a higher degree to fully understand routing within networking. This is not only suggested reading, this is a staple requirement for any serious Network Engineer. Anyone considering their CCIE R/S should not proceed further in their studies before reading and studying in depth these two volumes.

This comes in international edition print. Not great. Looks cheap but remember what you pay is wat u get. Differs in page no and question no from original. Again, content is same and you learn same as wat you would from standard edition unless you are one who only needs pulped paper, color picture and texts!

Good resource for preparing and studying, I don't understand why the author didn't include EIGRPv6, maybe he forgot it :)
Some information about IPv6 is redundant with the Volume 2, in my opinion the Volume 1 should include all about IPv6 and Volume 2 shouldn't, or maybe Volume 2 should only include IPv6 transition mechanisms.

This book, and its subsequent volume, are classics in the Cisco networking world. An indispensable volume, whether you're an ambitious, freshly baked CCNA, or a veteran preparing for CCIE.However, it's not a light read; Doyle gets into the nitty-gritty of all IGRPs, Path Control, Redistribution etc. but I think with a little work, it's absolutely doable to understand everything in this book. Keep studying!

One of my favorite Cisco Press books.
Although the Kindle edition is 1st printing which doesn't reflect the errata, there are not so many corrections, so buy whichever edition suits your needs.
I hope they'll replace the server data with the latest printing though.
