Summary: My personal Cisco Reference book!
Review: What separates Cisco Routers from the rest? What makes Cisco Certifications one of most sought after certifications in the computer industry? Where can you find a reference manual for Cisco that covers more than just one certification topic? Try Cisco Router Handbook.What amazed me about this book was amount of information included. Also the author's ability for detailed information is another huge plus to buying this book. Sackett makes sure that every topic is covered completely and the information is not accurate but up to date. Starting off with the IOS software and then moving into router hardware. The router hardware section covers most if not all of the Cisco line. Next you have network design and IP routing design, both sections are very well laid out and the information is easy to follow. With other sections on Frame Relay, ATM, switch networks, SRB, APPN, ISDN and DDR design rounding out the field. You have the author giving you chapters devoted to the IP, RIP, IGRP, EIRGP, OSPF and BGP Routing Protocols, more than any other book I have seen so far. Finally there are section on Novell and IPX, route distribution and legacy systems which when you boil it all down covers CCNA to CCIE exams all in 900 pages. While the cost is around $70.00 your money is well spent for possible the one reference book that every Cisco technician should have with them.
