Customer Reviews

The more I read the more I kept reading.

Starting off this book is 25 pages just covering the OSI model and then 55 pages on router configuration and both are very good. Moving along to TCP/IP addressing is given fair coverage, needing more coverage of the CIDR topic.Ammann then tackles RIP and RIP2, OSPF, BGP, IGRP and EIRGP protocols and each are broken down and explained very well. This is the first book I have seen that actually breaks down IPX Addressing with any clarity. Along with IPX addressing is NLSP, IPXWAN and IPX traffic coverage making a complete sweep of the protocol. Ammann again amazes me with his 100 pages on the AppleTalk Protocol and his explanations are extremely complete, yet easy enough to comprehend.There is also discussion on the following topics, X.25, frame relay, ATM, ISDN and DDR. Finally the author gives you 55 pages on bridging and bridging concepts. Written by a CCNA, this book covers far more than the basic CCAN topics and should be used in Cisco certification exam.

From nothing to configuring in 30 days

Suddenly our network manager left the company, and with that I found myself wearing another yet another hat. I was dropped into running the network, and building a router for the for an office opening in 30 days. After the anxiety attack passed, I picked up a copy of this book. It was truly a lifesaver. The book is written in a clear and concise format, covering what you need to know, and how to do it. It did not try to assault my intelligence, as the writer cover basic material in such a way that you do not feel as technically inept as you really are. The book was fun to read, and well written. I was able finished in about 3 weeks. Thanks to this book I was able to finish that remote office router, and have now embarked on the road to Cisco certification.I strongly recommend this book if you plan to make the jump from computers to networking. .

Basic Router Configuration

This book will provide sample scenarios for novices using the Cisco IOS for configuration, operation, and maintenance of internetworking devices. The book will focus on the three most popular networking protocols used today: TCP/IP, IPX, and AppleTalk. This book covers the commonly used IOS commands and the most popular options, making clear the use of the IOS for a variety of users and internetworking configuration.

Very Well Written

Who would have thought that this book could be so comprehensive? This book is a perfect place to start for MCSE's who want to move onto the 'good stuff' - routing with Cisco routers. Use this and the Sybex CCNA Study guide and you'll get through the test no problems.

Excellent Beginner Book

With this crystal-clear reference, networking professionals can cut through the complexities and gain a thorough understanding of the features and functions used to successfully configure Cisco routers. This book includes step-by-step coverage of how to create router configuration files from scratch and build multiprotocol networks from TCP/IP to OSPF and BGP plus traffic management techniques for AppleTalk, IPX, SMDS, and ATM Configuration.Not only is this book great as an on-the-job reference, but it also prepares you for Cisco certification by presenting all the fundamental concepts and commands in an easy-to-understand text.
