This book is a reference for the network and system administrators who find themselves having to configure and maintain existing Cisco routers as well as get new hardware up and running. The authors 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.
