Practical Cisco Routers is an excellent "first purchase" for anyone interested in Router technology. It provides hands-on steps and easy-to-follow screen captures for the basic configuration of a new router. This book provides the basic knowledge base needed to cope with a rapidly proliferating technology. Practical Cisco Routers is written in an easy-to-understand and straightforward manner to provide the essential information for technology professionals new to routers by an author who teaches the information daily. Joe's instructional background enables him to present the material in a manner that enables you to learn exactly what you need to know.

Review:

Covers only basic knowledge

I bought this book used hoping it would be a good addition to my reference libary. It did not cover the topics I was expecting. The first half of the text covered basic LAN technology, WAN technology and protocols. The remaning chapters went over a basic configuration of a cisco router right out of the box. Going only slighty more in depth than what can be done with the set-up help dialogue when you first power up.
I am not at all saying this is not a good book, but it is aimed at someone with very little to no basic networking knowledge, and who has never seen a cisco router before. If you fit that description this will make a good read for you.

Review:

The only book I had to use

Simple yet thorough.

On my desk I had:

IP Routing Primer - doesn't make good bed-time reading ;-)

Cisco Routers Black Book - very nicely written, but a bit too detailed for a quick job.

Those were given by my employer.

Practical Cisco Routers - thin and easy to read. Uses extensive examples to show you exactly how things work.

That one is a personal copy.

I only had to refer to my Practical book in order to setup the router and tell someone to set up the other end of the system.

This book will not tell you the intricacies of EIGRP or explain what the output of sh tech means, but you will be up and running in no time. I only had to read one chapter to get everything configured and integrated into my main global network.

Do yourself a favor and read it thoroughly before starting a configuration using a GUI tool. There is a lot more you need to know than you might believe otherwise.

So just how much do I like this book? I am not willing to sell it!

Review:

It will Become a Best Seller

I have just read the first four chapters, but I have already formed an opinion: This book will become a best seller. The author explains the stuff in the way I want it. Thank you for wiriting this book.

Outstanding Book

This was an outstanding book with the little knowledge I had already on Cisco routers. This books brought me up to speed in a hurt in a fun easy to read type book. I loved it. And I look forward to reading more of the Practical Series of books from QUE.

Review:

This is an excellent introduction to cisco router book!

I do agree that this is the best introduction book for Cisco beginners. It gives you from all the basic things you need to know about networking concepts and then explain the features of the routers and how to configure it.

I would recommend this books to my friends. Well the price itself is affordable :)
