3.0 out of 5 stars Good intro to various functions - but not for advanced implementations, February 1, 2006
This review is from: Cisco Field Manual: Router Configuration (Paperback)
"Cisco Field Manual: Router Configuration" by Hucaby and McQuerry - you figure with a title like that you would have your one-stop shop for configurations of Cisco routers. Sadly, you will be going to the Cisco website before too long for more advanced configuration examples and explanations. While the book does do an excellent job at introducing a variety of functions - (CDP <a Net Admin's best friend.>, logging, SAA), and interfaces; after these areas the book starts to lose it's value.

For example - the chapter on routing protocols starting on page 253 is extremely introductory (yes, only one chapter on a book of routers, which, the last time I looked routes based upon ROUTING protocols). The EIGRP discussion does not mention that the netmask can be applied to the end of the network command - yet the book discusses `variance' and how to apply metric weights (now which command(s) do you think a Net Admin will apply more often?).

And then you much watch... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Step by Step Configuration - Priceless tool, June 24, 2002

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Cisco Field Manual: Router Configuration (Paperback)
This is a truly practical book. It features material most often configured on Cisco routers and gives the reader a step-by-step description of how to implement it. This is not a book for people seeking to learn networking, or the theory behind protocols and IOS features. It is just as the title says, a manual with "no nonsense" how-to's. A good quick reference when you don't have the Cisco documentation CD and need to implement something fast.

5.0 out of 5 stars No nonsense approach to a no nonsense subject., January 9, 2002
This review is from: Cisco Field Manual: Router Configuration (Paperback)
Working with routers means be able to configure them and as everyone knows there are far too many commands to remember and also far too many switches with the commands. Cisco Press has put together a book that should be on every router technician's desk.

The authors have put together a straight to the point - no nonsense 650 page reference manual that has over 90 real world examples to learn from and use in the every day work. By starting the book with interface basics the authors are making no assumptions as to the skill level of the technician, this making this book useful for everyone.

After that you learn to setup dialing options, work with layer 2 switching, including bridging, SRB and RSRB techniques. Moving on then comes IP addressing and services like HSRP, DHCP and NAT. Then onto the routing protocols with RIP and RIP2, IGRP, EIRGP, OSPF, IS-IS, BGP and MBGP.

Other protocols discussed and covered include IPX and AppleTalk. The authors make sure the cover the QOS topics... Read more
