CISCO IOS Solutions for Network Protocols Volume I: IP

I am in TOTAL AGREEMENT with the other (2) reviews (posted as of 8/22/98), and I, too, would likely be disappointed with this text, under THEIR particular conditions … HOWEVER: I am a Help desk employee who configures 5-6 Cisco Routers over the phone every day, so I do not have my own personal copy of the CD documentation (hence, I must rely on SOMETHING in lieu of the doc CD). Moreover, I am VERY EARLY into preparing for the CCIE, and this book builds on what I already know about IP addressing, and then some.
One criticism of this book said elsewhere is that it does not tell the reader how to configure the parameters documented on it’s pages. Hogwash: how more clearer could Cisco Press be than presenting a table with two columns — “Commanding this …” and “… makes this …” ?? … pretty straight-forward, I thought …
Regarding the comment that some of these parameters will be outdated eventually … well, three comments: first, welcome to the WACKY WORLD of software (yes, Virginia, it’s GONNA be outdated in six months; and yet, many of the parameters mentioned in this book will very likely be pertenent two years from now … now THAT’S holding power); secondly, in a sense, every configuration in this book is ALREADY outdated, due to Cisco’s “ConfigMaker,” a GUI-interfaced config tool that makes all commands obsolete (BUT … I feel it really helps to know what I’m commanding for my network, so that when the inevitable 11th-hour troubleshooting parties begin, I know of a place to begin); thirdly, I’m not exactly sure what the writer of that review was hoping and looking for when he even brought up this issue of outdated-ness … so for this reason, I have no further comment …

CISCO IOS Solutions for Network Protocols Volume I: IP Specifications
If nothing else, Cisco IOS Solutions for Network Protocols, Volume I: IP, can be entered as indisputable evidence of the rapid proliferation of networking acronyms. From BGG to RSVP to IGRP to BGP, this book covers them all, or at least the ones that run through the Internet Protocol (IP), the standards-based language of the Internet.
Solutions for Network Protocols takes no prisoners as the first chapter dives into media access control (MAC) layers, address resolution, and the diverse array of routing protocols highlighted in the table of contents. The book effectively explains what each of the protocols is best suited for and offers guidance on which ones make sense for your situation.
As you dig deeper, several red-hot networking topics emerge. The IP address mess, a mean-spirited and recurring nightmare for information services professionals, is sorted out nicely in chapters 3 and 4, though the language can be obtuse. Also worth mentioning is the discussion of Network Address Translation, a protocol developed by Cisco that lets you hide internal network IP addresses from the outside world.
Particularly strong are sections on IP Multicast Routing and the Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP), a Cisco brainchild that lets you reserve portions of your network bandwidth for voice, video, or data traffic. If different traffic types are wreaking havoc on your network’s performance, you’ll be glad you waded through this tough chapter. The section on IP Multicasting, which breaks the one-to-one or one-to-all delivery mode by letting you define groups, is one of the strongest in the book. The book also provides fabulous explanations of the multicasting protocol variants and how to put them to work. An excellent primer, Cisco IOS Solutions for Network Protocols will help you wring the most from those ethereal routing protocols. –Sarah L. Roberts-Witt
