Field-Tested Solutions to Cisco Router Problems
Never has a topic cried out for a cookbook quite as much as Cisco’s Internetwork Operating System (IOS). IOS is powerful and flexible, but it’s also confusing and daunting. Most tasks can be accomplished several different ways, but when you’re faced with a problem, you don’t want to spend precious time figuring out the best one. Cisco IOS Cookbook, Second Edition, will help any network administrator who works with Cisco routers solve problems quickly and effectively.
Most router configuration tasks can be broken down into several independent steps: you configure an interface, configure a routing protocol, set up backup links, and implement packet filters and other access control mechanisms. What you need is a set of recipes that show you how to perform the most common tasks, so you can quickly come up with a good configuration for your site. And you need to know that these solutions work: you don’t want to find yourself implementing a backup link at two in the morning because your main link is down and the backup link you set up when you installed the router wasn’t quite right.
That’s precisely what this book provides. Thoroughly revised and expanded, Cisco IOS Cookbook, Second Edition, adds sections on MPLS, security, IPv6, and IP Mobility, and presents solutions to the most common configuration problems, including:
Configuring interfaces of many types, from serial to ATM and Frame Relay
Configuring all of the common IP routing protocols (RIP, EIGRP, OSPF, and BGP)
Configuring authentication
Configuring other services, including DHCP and NTP
Setting up backup links, and using HSRP to configure backup routers
Managing the router, including SNMP and other solutions
Configuring Layer 2 and Layer 3 firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention, and other security features
Configuring IPv6 networking, including routing, route filtering, and tunneling
Supporting IP Mobility
If you’re experienced, the solutions and extensive explanations provided here will give you new ideas and insights into router configuration. And if you’re not experienced—if you’ve just been given responsibility for managing a network with Cisco routers—this book could be a job-saver.
