Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Cisco IOS in a Nutshell documents the most important bits of the frequently arcane IOS command line from aaa accounting to write, thereby providing a valuable resource to everyone who works with IOS. Three cheers for the Nutshell format! There may be no better printed style for command-line environments, like the Internetwork Operating System (IOS) that runs on Cisco Systems routers. The reference section--which makes up about 60 per cent of this book--summarises each command (again, they're not all covered, but the ones that aren't are pretty obscure) with a statement of its scope (global, interface, line, or whatever), followed by generalised syntax summaries in the style of Unix man pages (these indicate the legal combinations of switches and parameters). Then, a detailed discussion of each switch and parameter clarifies what each is for. The whole reference section is alphabetical, with lettered dark boxes on the pages' outer edges that are easy to scan while flipping pages rapidly.
Prior to the reference section, the author explains how the IOS interface refers to and controls aspects of routers, such as lines and interfaces. He does a great job of it, too--you could do far worse than to read his explanations before going to work under IOS for the first time. The other great value of this early section is in the author's discussion of how to configure a new router by bringing interfaces, data-communication protocols (like TCP/IP), routing protocols (like Border Gateway Protocol, or BGP), and services like Domain Name Service (DNS) online. This book is a tremendous value for Cisco engineers. --David Wall
Topics covered: How to configure a Cisco Systems router with the Internetwork Operating System (IOS). The most popular commands are documented, and there's a tutorial section that gets readers oriented in the Cisco way of thinking about a router's work. The author uses IOS 12.x as his baseline, though users of older versions will find his work valuable. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

I was fairly new to IOS but had an understanding of TCP/IP and routing. This book proved excellent at explaining the Cisco terminology and approach. It also has a very good IOS command reference section that makes it very easy to find enough information to get routers up and running. Probably not one for beginners or experts but great for intermediate level users. Worth the money for the reference section alone.

This book has become my 'Cisco IOS Bible' and is one the finest and most reliable reference books I own. At 600 pages this book is only a Nutshell because it has so succinctly condensed down what is a huge subject, apparently without removing any technical content. Whenever my other Cisco books are lacking or have all-too-often editing mistakes this one consistently comes to the rescue.
I'm presently studying for my CCNP Remote Access exam using the Cisco Press book, but this O'Reilly gem does not leave my side as I'd be lucky to turn more than a few pages of the Cisco Press book without relying on it for clarification.
If you have any involvement in Cisco IOS management, buy this book.

This book took me from zero knowledge of IOS up to the stage where I have successfully implemented a sizeable network of Cisco devices. The explanation of concepts is clear and concise and the reference section invaluable. All O'Reilly books are of very high quality, but this one is really exceptional.
