The Accidental Administrator: Cisco Router Step-by-Step Configuration Guide

If you are working as a network administrator and suddenly your job require you to manage cisco device where you never have experience before, than this book is for you.If you never touch cisco device and you really have too, you should choose this book. An author explain to you in a very detail step from the beginning of having cisco device and its first time connect and setup its configuration for a proper running in a network environment.Even this book is prepare for anyone whose has not experience with manage cisco device, but you still have some background in network to understand the topic in the book. These requirement are:- You should have a basic understanding of network concept. Exp: OSI theory, TCP/IP protocol, DHCP, DNS, Switch device, hub device, router device, routing protocol...- You should have experience of configuring other network deive, via web interface or CLI would be good.- You should have experience of managing network environment especially via command line to configure any server/device.The book won't teach you in depth of any topic where he just brief you some information and get hand on the practical with CLI and the device.I have some experience with networking and some network device such as Mikrotik, TP-link... but do not have any experience with Cisco device. After I read this book, I feel confident that I could manage any project which is related to Cisco router.Thank,Kanel

This book provided an excellent introduction to Cisco 1941 configuration and easier to obtain than private lessons from a Cisco expert.The Kindle edition included all the errata fixes from the printed editions so I was glad I used the digital version.The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that I would have liked to see more depth on the topics of traffic shaping and NetFlow v9 configuration.Nonetheless, it was a very worthwhile read (and re-read and re-read). The advice about Putty was excellent. There were many, many practical tips for how to initially enter and subsequently edit the configuration.

A mighty book of how to configure a Cisco router. It is like trying to read thru Atlas Shrugged, although not as thrilling...in other words, a large book of great material, too much to read at one setting. I recommend it to other Cisco 'newbies'.

If you want to know the basis for Cisco routers ,this is the book to get.this book talks about USB to serial cable and where to get the drivers for this ,and how to usc CCPon IOS 15.6 ,There is a good TCP/IP sections Fundamentals. Will I am working on my CCNA now andif you are as will this is a good book to add for youre studies.

Enjoyable, thorough, and thought provoking. I’ll be consulting my bookmarks throughout this book, since I am truly an accidental administrator.

If you want an easy to read reference as you work through CCNA this is the book!Cisco press is great, but if you want a book you can find a basic configuration answer in quickly this is it!I keep a copy of this and a Cisco IOS quick reference chart around at all times.

Good item. I hope more of this

I would suggest this book if you are totaly new to routers and in need of a quick guide to get them routing.

Great book for the beginner. Has all the information you would need for a basic setup and then go into things like backup and restore of your configuration. Would recommend it to anyone who has a interest in network router.
