Cisco Router Configuration and Troubleshooting AUTHOR: Mark Tripod PUBLISHER: New Riders REVIEWED BY: Barbara Rhoades

BOOK REVIEW: This book is great for anyone already running and maintaining Cisco routers and their components. Cisco Router Configuration and Troubleshooting contains: a 4-page Content section, a 29-page Index, 16 chapters on various topics, examples of coding though out the book and fairly good sized print. These chapters are broken down into four sections: getting started, configuration, monitoring and troubleshooting.

If you already have a job and wish to have a reference book to help answer some of the nagging questions, add this book to your library.

Confusing and lots of mistakes
My friend looked it over. My friend passed the CCNA and is working on CCNP. There are lots of mistakes with the Cisco commands. The book is good in terms of being practical and shows the practical on the job aspect of Cisco. I got it cheap discounted so I don't mind. It's a dense little book and alot of info implies you work in networking. How many newly minted CCNAs or learning CCNA's understand DS3's going into a Cisco router?

However, it is a decent book that shows how it is working as a network engineer and not just learning routing academically.

This is one great book.
If Cisco wasn't the hottest certification of the IT circuit than why are there so many books being written to cover the certifications. The book is delves into a very specific area of Cisco and does a very good job of giving you a detail look in the configuration and troubleshooting process.

Starting off this 300-page book is an excellent look into TCP/IP and the OSI model. The book then moves into router configurations, followed up with LAN and WAN concepts. Each topic is given more than enough coverage and the information makes for the perfect reference manual. Also covered is SNMP and router monitoring. The book includes case studies of how to troubleshoot both the physical and network layers and routing protocols. The author makes sure to include router screen shots to show you what things are supposed to look like. While the book is not written for a specific certification, it will give you an excellent start and the coverage more than adequate to help even the foremost expert in the Cisco field.
