Routers have evolved into highly specialized computing platforms, with extremely flexible but complex capabilities. <i>Managing IP Networks with Cisco Routers</i> is a practical guide to setting up and maintaining a production network. It discusses issues like how to select routing protocols and how to configure protocols to handle most common situations. It also discusses less esoteric but equally important issues like how to evaluate network equipment and vendors and how to set up a help desk. Although the book focuses on Cisco routers, and gives examples using Cisco's IOS, the principles discussed are common to all IP networks, regardless of the vendor you choose. This book is firmly grounded in the realities of day-to-day network management. It's designed to solve real-world problems, like: "How do I prevent my router from using unreliable information from other routers?" "How do I safeguard my router against attacks?" "How can I make my network more reliable?" If you're building or maintaining an IP network, you'll find this book indispensable. Topics covered include: <ul><li>Designing an IP network </li><li>Evaluating equipment and vendors </li><li>Selecting routing protocols </li><li>Configuring common interior protocols (RIP, OSPF, EIGRP) </li><li>Connecting to external networks and configuring exterior protocols (BGP) </li><li>Ongoing network management: troubleshooting and maintenance </li><li>Security and privacy issues</li></ul> 604695 1997 Managing IP Networks with Cisco Routers total:1|4:1| 1 4 7 1 4 0 false false Wed Apr 01 00:00:00 -0800 1998 Thu Apr 12 07:05:02 -0700 2007 Thu Apr 12 07:06:11 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Wed Aug 26 23:30:06 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 26 23:30:06 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Feb 20 11:09:32 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 20 11:09:32 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Feb 17 07:09:07 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 17 07:09:07 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Aug 27 12:14:05 -0700 2008 Wed Aug 27 12:14:05 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Thu Feb 28 17:31:06 -0800 2008 Thu Feb 28 17:31:06 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Sat Dec 08 09:15:51 -0800 2007 Sat Dec 08 09:15:51 -0800 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=618300
