Book Reviews of Routing TCP/IP, Volume 1 (2nd Edition)Book Review: Routing TCP/IP, Vol 1 2nd Ed. Summary: 5 Stars
After hearing about how valuable and informative the first edition of Routing TCP/IP was I knew I had to give the new and improved Routing TCP/IP Vol 1, Second Edition a go. After passing my CCNA test a few months ago, the natural route is to pursue the CCNP certification. Even though this book is labeled "CCIE Professional Development", it is also an in-depth resource for your CCNP routing studies.
Routing TCP/IP Vol 1 starts off with a few chapters of Routing basics. You get a good review of the TCP/IP protocol suite, an IPv6 Overview, and a review of Static and Dynamic Routing. The Chapter on IPv6 is quite in-depth. IPv6 addressing, Header format, ICMPv6 and Neighbor Discovery Protocol are among the topics in this chapter. After the first review section you enter the heart of the book. Part II, Interior Routing Protocols. RIP, RIPv2, classless routing, OSPF, EIGRP, and Integrated IS-IS are the chapters you will be diving into. Each chapter explains proper Operation, Configuration and Troubleshooting of its respective protocol. Anything and everything you will ever want to know about the aforementioned Interior routing protocols are within these pages. The last part of Routing TCP/IP Vol 1is the Route Control and Interoperability section. This section of the book goes over Route Redistribution, ODR (On-demand Routing), Route Filtering and Route maps.
Just like most Cisco Press books, the figures are easy to follow along with and are clear. The command output examples are easy to understand and follow. The examples in the book make it easy to see how to apply all the information. I'm a visual person, and to see all the technology applied and the output shown helps a lot. Routing TCP/IP Vol 1 Second Edition will be beneficial for a person holding a CCNP certification looking to move on to the CCIE Routing & Switching Certification. In my opinion, it will also benefit a CCNA studying for the CCNP certification. More importantly the Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks (BSCI) 642-801 test. The Interior Routing chapters on OSPF, EIGRP and Integrated IS-IS will help you understand more then enough to pass the BSCI test, along with the BSCI Self-Study and Exam Cert guide. Routing TCP/IP Vol 1will make a excellent addition to a Cisco engineer's home Cisco Press library, not to mention a perfect book reference to have at the work place. Jeff Doyle and Jennifer Carrol's writing style's are excellent. They make understanding and consuming all this information painless. It might not be painless for everyone, but if you are a information hog like myself, then it will be rather painless. I would buy another Cisco Press title written by Jeff Doyle and/or Jennifer Carrol in a heartbeat. On a Scale of 1 to 5, 5 being the highest. I would give Routing TCP/IP Vol 1 Second edition a 5 without a doubt. The information is in-depth, easy to understand and relatively painless to retain. Yeah, you might have to read it twice, but isn't it that way with all technology books like this? Especially books on Cisco Technology.
I recommend this book to anyone studying for the BSCI CCNP test, a CCNP looking to move on to the CCIE Routing & Switching written test, or a Network Engineer looking to know the ins and outs of Interior Routing Protocols. Routing TCP/IP Vol1 will make a perfect work reference or a home reference for your personal Cisco Press Library.
Off to purchase Routing TCP/IP Vol 2 for Exterior Routing Protocols. If it is anything close to this Routing TCP/IP Vol 1 Second Edition, then I will be a very happy camper.
Summary of Routing TCP/IP, Volume 1 (2nd Edition)A detailed examination of interior routing protocols -- completely updated in a new edition A complete revision of the best-selling first edition--widely considered a premier text on TCP/IP routing protocols A core textbook for CCIE preparation and a practical reference for network designers, administrators, and engineers Includes configuration and troubleshooting lessons that would cost thousands to learn in a classroom and numerous real-world examples and case studies Praised in its first edition for its approachable style and wealth of information, this new edition provides readers a deep understanding of IP routing protocols, teaches how to implement these protocols using Cisco routers, and brings readers up to date protocol and implementation enhancements. Routing TCP/IP, Volume 1, Second Edition, includes protocol changes and Cisco features that enhance routing integrity, secure routers from attacks initiated through routing protocols, and provide greater control over the propagation of routing information for all the IP interior routing protocols. Routing TCP/IP, Volume 1, Second Edition, provides a detailed analysis of each of the IP interior gateway protocols (IGPs). Its structure remains the same as the best-selling first edition, though information within each section is enhanced and modified to include the new developments in routing protocols and Cisco implementations. What's New In This Edition? The first edition covers routing protocols as they existed in 1998. The new book updates all covered routing protocols and discusses new features integrated in the latest version of Cisco IOS Software. IPv6, its use with interior routing protocols, and its interoperability and integration with IPv4 are also integrated into this book. Approximately 200 pages of new information are added to the main text, with some old text removed. Additional exercise and solutions are also included.
