Technical professionals have had to rely solely on official Cisco documentation for information on how to support and troubleshoot their routers. Cisco Router Configuration and Troubleshooting, 2nd Edition will serve as a reference for the network and system administrator who find themselves having to configure and maintain existing Cisco routers as well as get new hardware up and running. The authors begins by touching on the foundation behind routing technology: networks, protocols and hardware. Then they jump right into router configuration, discussing setup, local and wide area networking, security and monitoring. By providing advice and preferred practices, instead of just rehashing Cisco documentation, Cisco Router Configuration & Troubleshooting gives networking professionals information they can start using today. The troubleshooting section uses a fictitious company to illustrate the different scenarios administrators might encounter.
