Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
When configuring Cisco routers, you can take either of two approaches. If you're keen on expending a lot of time and energy, you can distil the contents of Cisco documentation into real-life access lists that make the routers do what your organisation needs. Alternatively, you can open up Cisco Access Lists Field Guide and see what solutions authors Gil Held and Kent Hundley have created for you. They've compiled a sort of recipe book, in which they present problems that access lists can solve, then provide a listing of an access list that solves the stated problem. Though it would be better if the solutions appeared on a CD-ROM or on the Internet somewhere, this book is nonetheless extraordinarily valuable to people involved in configuring Cisco routing equipment.
This book is more than a straightforward listing of problems and solutions. Held and Hundley make Cisco Access Lists Field Guide something of a tutorial via two mechanisms. First, a couple of introductory chapters explain the fundamentals of access lists, including how they fit into the larger router architecture and how they're maintained. Second, the authors present their listings in conjunction with lots of high-quality commentary. They'll state their problem in detail, then list the solution, then (most valuably) call attention to individual lines in the access list and explain what they're for. This material makes this book valuable to those technicians interested in learning for the long term, not just solving problems in the immediate context. --David Wall, amazon.com
Topics covered: Access lists for Cisco routers, organised by the functions they perform; Time-based access lists; dynamic access lists; reflexive access lists; context-based access control; address translation, and security functions (including those defined by IPSec).
Product Description
ONE-STOP GUIDE TO CONFIGURING CISCO ACCESS LISTS. Configuring access lists for Cisco Routers and for network operations is one of the most difficult tasks for network administrators working in a Cisco networking environment. Cisco- Access Lists Field Guide, by Gil Held and Kent Hundley, CCNA, makes this task far less of a headache. This comprehensive reference thoroughly explores basic, dynamic, time-based, reflexive, and context-based access lists, and the use of keywords. Following a consistent, reader-friendly format, each chapter covers the problem, offers a network illustration and access list, and a full explanation. This invaluable guide also describes potential pitfalls, and tells you how to avoid them. You also get hundreds of practical examples of access lists that can be tailored to your own environment.

This book is great if you want to achieve a solid understanding of the fundamentals behind Cisco Access Lists. It does not dive into great detail but seems to cover all the things that you have forgotten which make it a worthwhile read.
Covers Time-Based, Reflexive and Dynamic Access Lists, which very few books do
Well worth the money !

Ask Cisco what the time is and they'll tell you how to build a watch! Sound familiar?
Unlike all other Cisco books I have, this guide explains a topic and then gives several real-world examples, and I mean real-world not a silly Cisco lab setups.
Using this 1 book I have configured NAT/PAT, CBAC, IDS, VPN across our companies Cisco routers.
My only critism is the VPN section is too brief with no remote access VPN examples. It could also do with an AAA section.
If you are an overworked admin that doesn't have time to read huge volumes of technical information buy this book!!

Good one!

Cisco Access lists are vital to your routers performing accurately. This book gives a number of example of both good access lists & bad ones...Every time I'm configuring a router, I check and double check this book...rarely do I work without it close by my side. This is another that isn't just Cisco documentation rehashed again. The insight and technical tips make it a real bonus. Almost like having a CCIE sitting next to you!

Think you know how access-lists work?

Don't be so sure. This book covers it in fine detail. I like the algorithm that you can use to minimize the number of access-lists given two IP ranges. Time-based, reflexive, dynamic, CBAC, some TCP-intercept/NAT examples are all presented well. It also has some IPSec and Queing chapters (though I recommend "Enhanced IP Services" by Lee for those two topics) I didn't give it 5 stars because it's not quite Doyle/Clark level.

True field guide.

I'm usually hesitant to purchase book with 'cisco' on the cover because you can get all the info from cisco website but this book is an exception and it delivers.
The author has covered all the aspects of cisco access lists, standard, dynamic, extended and reflexive etc in good detail and IOS config examples.
Chapter 8 and beyond are bonus which cover TCP intercept, IPsec and encryption.
All in all a reliable handy reference for implementing and understanding of cisco access lists.
