Product Description

Product Description
OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) is a popular routing protocol. By deploying this protocol with a Cisco router, messages can get to their destination faster. This text shows the network manager how to maximise the use of OSPF with Cisco router technology.

From the Author
A complete OSPF reference with RIP, IGRP, and EIGRP.
The Cisco Router OSPF Design and Implementation Guide is based upon my experiences preparing for the CCIE exam and my tenure in the Wichita State University CCIE preparation lab. Clear and complete configurations are presented for all OSPF commands and the interaction between OSPF and other IP routing protocols (RIP, RIPv2,IGRP and EIGRP). Other chapters include an extensive cover of IP (subnetting and VLSM) and traffic management using access lists.

1.0 out of 5 stars Where's the OSPF?, 30 Dec 1999
I suggest that the title of book be changed from "Cisco Router OSPF" to something like "Using Routing Protocols." After nearly 200 pages of basic information concerning a host of Cisco supported routing protocols, Parkhurst finally decides to begin his discussion of OSPF (Chapter 11, pages 203?). His OSPF discussion is extremely basic and fails to add any new information that one couldn't find for free .... In short, don't waste your money on this book!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Intro - Too many Typo's, Buyer beware., 6 Mar 1999
By A Customer
Overall I felt this book provided many good and well structured examples of an OSPF designed network. However, it became apparent immediately within the first few chapters that typo's abound. This may or may not be an issue for a person already familiar with OSPF and TCP/IP, but for those readers who are trying to acquire first hand knowledge of OSPF I would pass on this book until the reader was able to correctly identify, confirm and read through such inaccuracies. Too much time is wasted re-reading the text to determine if the reader "misunderstood" the text or if the text is inaccurate. Many of the inaccuracies are within the beginning chapters, including the diagrams and pictorials themselves.

With these inaccuracies fixed and "proofread" this COULD be a first rate book. I find it very hard to believe that Cisco put their signature on this book.

The Author did an excellent job of defining the scope and complexity of OSPF, but needs to provide a "concise and accurate" manual. As with most technical publications, books such as these end up being used as reference material. Therefore, a single mistake cannot be tolerated.

It is NOT of the caliber of even the most basic Cisco Press training products (which serve double duty as first time reading material and future reference manuals).

Buyer beware.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is ideal for the Network Planner., 2 Mar 1999
By A Customer
As a Network Planner I need to stay current on all new technology. This book is a big help. I do not have the time nor the resources to become an expert on ever protocol out there. It is great to have a book such as "Cisco Router OSPF" to help me stay current. "Cisco Router OSPF" has a detailed description of several network and routing protocols that is easy to read and simple to understand. After reading the first six chapters, I now know the reasoning behind allot of thing I just thought of as FM. Every Network Planner should have this book on the shelf.
