Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The best way to learn about internetworking is to build a system of linked networks, play with it until it breaks, build another in a different way, and repeat the process indefinitely. Only by seeing how real machines communicate across real wires can you expect to become prepared for real-life network operations (in which you attempt to do the same thing, but without the "until it breaks" part). All-In-One CCIE Lab Study Guide takes you through the experimentation process, helping you develop a sizeable body of knowledge about Internet protocols and the equipment that implements them. In 86 laboratory exercises, all well designed and thoroughly debugged, authors Stephen Hutnick and Michael Satterlee reveal the intricacies of protocols, routing, bridging and more, as implemented on Cisco Systems gear.
The exercises read like something out of a high-school physics textbook, with equipment lists and specific set-up instructions to follow (this is a good thing). The authors list configuration files (which also appear on the companion CD-ROM), highlighting and commenting on lines that are key to whatever concept the lab is meant to highlight. They then show you how to test the configurations, and show the responses you ought to get from your experimental set-up. It's a fascinating approach that is perfect if you have the equipment (sometimes considerable) needed to duplicate the configurations. It's only slightly less great if you have to read along without doing all the experiments. --David Wall, amazon.com
Topics covered: The subjects needed to pass the Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE) laboratory exam (the implementation of various networking protocols on Cisco products). Covered protocols include ISDN, frame-relay, asynchronous transfer mode (ATM), Appletalk, IPX, and the TCP/IP suite. Detailed coverage of routing protocols (including OSPF, IGRP, EIGRP, and BGP) makes this book stand out. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Product Description

Format:Hardcover
I have read 2/3 of the book and performed a good chunk of the labs.
I like the way each topic is supported by relatively straighforward examples of the problems to be solved.
This allows you to concentrate on the basics so that they become well consolidated without distraction.
There are a number of typeos just to keep it interesting; I have not found anything major, just a number of tiny details like incorrect interface addresses/numbers etc on some of the diagrams...but since when was that unusual!
Everything seems to work as predicted which is the main thing.
Having the configs on a cd makes it very quick to set up a config and then experiment with it...a good timesaver...which is vital with so much to cover.
The emphasis is on routing; you need 4 routers to do some of the labs; many can be done with just 2 or 3
theres not much on switching ... have to use live networks for that practice!
I am a CCDP and CCNP ; the level is still challenging enough...
Overall well recommended

I think it's a good book with a lot of usefull stuff from ISDN to IPSec. But many lab are very simple and surface. But you if want All-in-One you get it ;-)

darned good book for ACRC
14 Dec 1999
Format:Hardcover
I got the CCIE Lab Study Guide ISBN 0-07-135108-6 a few days ago and I thought I'd share my impressions.
The book has 86 labs that require a variety of equipment. The breakdown is:
1 terminal server lab 7 ISDN specific 8 frame relay specific 2 ATM (4500 only) labs 4 RIP specific 5 IGRP specific 8 OSPF specific 5 EIGRP specific 3 BGP specific 4 route redistribution labs - various combos 5 access list labs 4 policy based routing labs 2 cdp labs 5 NAT labs 2 HSRP labs 4 NTP labs 3 IPX labs 4 appletalk labs 2 Catalyst labs 3 IOS upgrade labs 3 password recovery (3600, 2500, cat 5500) 2 http server on router labs
I've done the password recovery, terminal server, cdp, catalyst, and frame relay labs so far and I've read over the ISDN and ATM portions. Depending on how well you grasp the underlying technology the labs can take anywhere from five minutes (cdp) to an hour or two of hacking (getting frame switching running with one router as central site for three remotes and firing up rip).
The bad news first: I think the ATM and Catalyst portions are *very* slim for a book advertising to be a CCIE prep course however ...
The good news: This looks like a killer book for ACRC prep. I felt the frame relay presentation was very solid and the ISDN appears to be of equal quality. The overall coverage of the various routing protocols has as many labs as the well covered layer 2 technology and there is a lot of information here along with working configurations put together step by step. The BGP section appears a tad thin to me but I've skimmed it and not actually tried any of it ... perhaps BGP is not nearly as fierce as its reputation.
I completed my CCNA two months ago, will likely do my CCDA before the end of the year, and I've read through the Sybex ACRC book. After an initial read of the Sybex book I felt like I was standing at the bottom of a great big mountain to be climbed. After tearing through 17 of the exercises in the CCIE Lab Study Guide I am feeling like I should be able to master the routing protocols with two or three months of study and practice.
It says CCIE on the cover but I think any ACRC candidate could benefit from this book.

Excellent book for intermediate level labs.
24 Dec 1999
Format:Hardcover
This book basically takes you through many of the technologies you will meet in the real world and on the CCIE lab in 80+ well written scenarios.
However, this book alone will not get you to the required level to pass the CCIE lab, so don't misinterpret the title. This book is great for people who do not have that much hands on experience with cisco routers. For the CCIE you will require a much more indepth understanding of all topics covered, plus several more topics which are not covered at all.

Very good Lab Study Book
12 Dec 1999
Format:Hardcover
Exactly the kind of book I was looking for. Many of the other books I read did not even come close to the hands-on topics that are provided in this book. I also found the way it is structured to be ideal for CCIE study. Its also an extremly EASY READ.
DO NOT Buy this book to learn about routers or IP or any other routing protocols for that matter. Its not what the authors aimed for. They assume you have a pretty strong foundation dealing with cisco realted equipment and tell you how implement them effectively.
The book is also an excellent source of reference.
