Product Description

A detailed examination of exterior routing protocols and advanced IP routing issues

 

Routing TCP/IP, Volume II, enables you to:

  • Master the operational components, configuration, and troubleshooting of BGP-4-the de facto interdomain routing protocol
  • Understand the operation, configuration, and troubleshooting of NAT
  • Learn how to deploy, configure, and troubleshoot IP multicast routing through an array of case studies and exercises
  • Familiarize yourself with the design goals and current state of IPv6, the new generation of the IP protocol
  • Implement router management through a diverse range of expert-tested methods
  • Test and validate your knowledge with practical, comprehensive review questions, configuration exercises, and troubleshooting exercises
  • Further your CCIE preparation while mastering advanced TCP/IP concepts

The complexities of exterior gateway protocols, including TCP connections, message states, path attributes, interior routing protocol interoperation, and setting up neighbor connections, require a comprehensive understanding of router operations in order to manage network growth. Routing TCP/IP, Volume II, provides you with the expertise necessary to understand and implement Border Gateway Protocol Version 4 (BGP-4), multicast routing, Network Address Translation (NAT), IPv6, and effective router management techniques. Jeff Doyle's practical approach, easy-to-read format, and comprehensive topic coverage make this book an instant classic and a must-have addition to any network professional's library.

Routing TCP/IP, Volume II, expands upon the central theme of Volume I: scalability and management of network growth. Volume II moves beyond the interior gateway protocols covered in Volume I to examine both inter-autonomous system routing and more exotic routing issues such as multicasting and IPv6. This second volume follows the same informational structure used effectively in Volume I: discussing the topic fundamentals, following up with a series of configuration examples designed to show the concept in a real-world environment, and relying on tested troubleshooting measures to resolve any problems that might arise. This book helps you accomplish more than earning the highly valued CCIE number after your name; it also helps you develop the knowledge and skills that are essential to perform your job at an expert level. Whether you are pursuing CCIE certification, need to review for your CCIE recertification exam, or are just looking for expert-level advice on advanced routing issues, Routing TCP/IP, Volume II, helps you understand foundation concepts and apply best practice techniques for effective network growth and management.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good book for CCIE lab prep, July 29, 2001
By 
Robert C. Haley (Louisville, Kentucky United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Routing TCP/IP, Volume II (CCIE Professional Development) (Hardcover)
I bought the book five weeks ago and have been working through it setting up the labs. The BGP info seems to be every bit as good as Sam Halabi's, the NAT section detailed, the IP multicasting very detailed and thorough and the Router Management section good. I wish Cisco provided more books that are understandable like this for CCIE study.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent IP Services Sections, May 3, 2003
This review is from: Routing TCP/IP, Volume II (CCIE Professional Development) (Hardcover)
This is a strong book for learning IP services. The BGP section here is well done also but Halabi's BGP book is by far the best BGP book written.
The author understands his audience. He writes with consideration for you the reader as if he WANTS you to get it. So many times you bump into books written by those who go off on tangents.
There is not a chapter in this book that isn't worth the read. It's excellent, but I want to point you, again, to the IP Services portion of this book that really will round you out as an engineer and as a CCIE candidate.
It is as informative as Volume I, it just covered different and lesser known topics but they are still topics you need to know.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple, clear, June 4, 2001
This review is from: Routing TCP/IP, Volume II (CCIE Professional Development) (Hardcover)
This book covers BGP in almost 300 pages. Is it better than Halabi's bible? No, you just go faster into the subject as well as on NAT, IP Multicast, IP V6 and Router Management (SNMP, Syslog, NTP, Netflow...). Doyle is always clear and chooses good examples. I would recommend it as a first and solid read on the above subjects. Then continue with Halabi's Internet Routing Architectures and Williamson's Developing IP Multicast Networks. For IP V6, NAT and Network Management there are certainly other reference texts but I don't know them...
