| Overview
Never has something cried out for a cookbook quite as much as
Cisco's Internetwork Operating System (IOS). IOS is powerful and
flexible, but also confusing and daunting. Most tasks can be
accomplished in several different ways. And you don't want to spend
precious time figuring out which way is best when you're trying to
solve a problem quickly.
That's what this cookbook is for. Fortunately, most router
configuration tasks can be broken down into several more or less
independent steps: you configure an interface, you configure a
routing protocol, you set up backup links, you implement packet
filters and other access control mechanisms. What you really need
is a set of recipes that show you how to perform the most common
tasks, so you can quickly come up with a good configuration for
your site. And you need to know that these solutions work: you
don't want to find yourself implementing a backup link at 2 A.M.
because your main link is down and the backup link you set up when
you installed the router wasn't quite right.
Thoroughly revised and expanded, Cisco IOS Cookbook, 2nd
Edition, adds sections on MPLS, Security, IPv6, and IP Mobility,
and presents solutions to the most common configuration problems,
including:
Configuring interfaces of many types, from serial to ATM and
Frame Relay Configuring all of the common IP routing protocols (RIP, EIGRP,
OSPF, and BGP) Configuring authentication Configuring other services, including DHCP and NTP Setting up backup links, and using HSRP to configure backup
routers Managing the router, including SNMP and other solutions Using access lists to control the traffic through the
router
If you work with Cisco routers, you need a book like this to
help you solve problems quickly and effectively. Even if you're
experienced, the solutions and extensive explanations will give you
new ideas and insights into router configuration. And if you're not
experienced--if you've just been given responsibility for managing
a network with Cisco routers--this book could be a job-saver.

| Great book for Cisco router admins, 2007-05-08 | | Reviewer rating: |  |
| | This book should be on every Cisco & network admin's shelf! If you manage several Cisco routers, this book is packed with loads of time-saving tips, tricks, scripts, and real world solutions to make router management easy and take the pain out of repetitive daily processes. Some Perl & Unix knowledge is helpful as well as some basic "CCNA level" understanding of Cisco IOS. Troubleshooting and configuration commands are taken to the next level beyond most boring and dry CCNA and Cisco Intro books. |
| | cisco ios cook book its great book, 2007-05-06 | | Reviewer rating: | |
| | always when i forget some of command i find in book, this is cool book.. |
| | Cover most of the topics, 2007-03-07 | | Reviewer rating: | |
| This book is indeed the best book for day to day management of Cisco networks. Although it covers most of the topics. However, there are some topics such as DMVPN, IPSEC VTI etc. are missing from the configuration examples.
The "CISCO IOS in a nutshell" covers DMVPN but misses on IPsec VTI. However, I still feel this is the best book written for cisco router configuration. |
| | Wish I had this months ago, 2007-01-12 | | Reviewer rating: | |
| | The first thing I noticed when I got this book was how much larger it was than the first edition. Next was that it covered quite a bit more. HSRP, Security, IPv6, MPLS just to name a few. It's straight forward, too the point. Not a ton of explanation so if you want to know WHY something works, this isn't for you. If you want to MAKE it work then pick this one. |
