Cisco IOS in a nutshell...
and not much more. But then again, they did not promise much else... For more in depth coverage of routing protocols check out "Cisco IOS for IP Routing" by Andrew Colton. These two together should take you a long way to a good understanding of Cisco routing.

Excellent Reference
Cisco IOS in a Nutshell is a good book for Cisco students and admininstrators alike. It is a good reference to keep by your router if you need to get the gist of certain commands. Mr. Boney does a good job explaining Cisco technologies.

CISCO IOS in a nutshell
The Cisco IOS Command Line Interface (CLI) has burgeoned over the years, and
the consequent wealth of commands can intimidate the most seasoned system admin.

More than half of this book's 592 pages are devoted to a CLI reference section--
and if you are seriously involved with router management, you'll find that your
copy will be well worn.

The other half of the book is a practical coverage of theory -- access lists,
interior and external routing protocols, security, troubleshooting -- each
with real-world examples to back them up.

Think you're already a Cisco Guru? You might need to think again -- do you know
how to optimize your access lists? (page 98) Do you know the difference between
IGRP and EIGRP? (check out Chapter 9 -- interior routing protocols.) And finally,
do you know how to setup multiple-group hot standby routing? (flip to page 213)

This book is a great guidebook for the novice and a solid reference for the
experienced.
