Cisco IOS Essentials

Order (or just read more about) Cisco IOS Essentials- John Albritton

While routers used to be only in large organizations, even relatively small offices are now apt to have a router, typically for connecting to the Internet or for a branch office. Cisco (although certainly not without competition) is probably the most common make you are apt to find, and this book ably covers basic configuration issues.

I really liked the attention to detail that this author gives. I have had some experience with Cisco routers, and am only too well aware of the potential for confusion. I was truly delighted that Albritton consistently pointed those areas out and regularly showed alternative ways to accomplish the same function. The examples used are realistic and useful, the exposition is clear, and he regularly gives background information or review where appropriate. In all, very well done.

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
