Product Description
Amazon Review
Another in Cisco's Certification and Training series, Advanced Cisco Router Configuration picks up where Introduction to Cisco Router Configuration leaves off. Like its sister publication, this book is intended to accompany a like-named Cisco class and provides chapter-ending tests as well as a profusion of diagrams, configuration commands, charts and such like.
However, this volume's six sections tackle more complex topics with an emphasis on network traffic and connectivity issues. Instead of basic Internetworking, scalability--particularly in terms of the router--is the idea driving these pages. By this, editor Laura Chappell simply means building a network that is able to expand, while requiring only minor interventions and additions. This leads to another strength of the book: underlying concepts are effectively outlined in the introductory chapter of each section, thereby establishing a context for the remainder of the discussion.
After getting the notion of scalability out of the way, the authors clearly discuss traffic congestion and ways to manage and solve it on Internet Protocol (IP) and Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) networks. They follow with an explanation of which protocol to deploy, be it Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP), or Routing Information Protocol (RIP). Also covered is dialup connectivity for remote users and for wide-area connections, as well as how to bridge non-routed services, such as Data Link Switching. Like many Cisco books, this one wraps up with seven impressive appendices, including a top-notch glossary. --Sarah L Roberts-Witt

This book does cover all of the objectives presented. The format and gramatical errors destroy most of benefits. I used this book and failed the ACRC exam 640-403. The ACRC Exam Certification Guide, author: Clare Gough-CCIE #2893 is a much better book. The questions are more difficult, the CD that accompanies the book is harder than the actual test. I couldn't answer some of them, even read Todd Lammle's book. I placed the three next to each other and thumbed through the chapters. The main difference is the ACRC Exam Guide has several CCIE technical editors who are precise. This is the best $60.00 bucks I've spent since the ICRC guide by Laura Chappel. I even noticed that some of the questions presented in this book were similar to the CCIE Written Examination.

This book maps perfectly to the $2,000 ACRC Class offered by Cisco: and this book is much better edited and organized! If you have routers to practice with, do yourself a favor and buy this book instead of taking the class. Please note that, as with all of Cisco's tests, its always best to have actual equipment to practice with. Otherwise, you probably won't absorb much of the book's content.

Excellent book for the ACRC exams, it gives you a deep understanding of scalable internetworks and all that goes with it. I used this book and passed the exams and i think you should too. Can't go wrong with this one!

Tons of mistakes and grammatical errors
Not nearly as good as ICRC. I agree with the other reviewer that there seems to have been no editor.
