Summary: Not really useful for anyone but a complete newcomer...
Comment: The back cover of this book states that it covers advanced information on Cisco router configuration. I guess advanced is a relative term for the authors. Unless you are a complete newcomer to the networking field, skip this one... One more thing. I wish publishers would stop using "padding" and "fillers" to fool the reader that the book is more valuable than it really is... I find it to be quite insulting.

Summary: OK for intro
Comment: I don't like to leave negative reviews, but I think that this is needed to balance out some of the comments left in others. This is a good book for an intro to Cisco routers. If you've never/rarely dealt with routers, than this is a great book. My problem is with people stating this is a good book as a CCNP supplement, it is not. I have my CCNP, and work in a large network that spans the US, Asia, and Europe. To troubleshoot routing issues in an environment this large you need a good understanding of VLSMs, route summarization, and in-depth classless routing protocol knowledge; none of which this book provides. If you are looking for a basic or intro book, than this is great, but if you are looking for in-depth details of routing issues in a large scale network (which most BSCN books provide), then this is not the book for you. I am giving it 2 stars because it is not what it builds itself up to be, this is an intro book. THIS IS NOT A BOOK FOR A COMPETENT CCNP CANDIDATE WORKING IN A LARGE SCALE NETWORK.
Rating: 5
Summary: Great Book - Even for a CCNP Refresher
Comment: This is a good book to use because it explains certain things in a clear fashion without being inaccurate and too basic. The things to be had in this book that you cannot easily find elsewhere are: 1. section on the high end routers 2. IGRP for IPX and IGRP for appletalk 3. Good summary information for routing protocol configuration: rip (v1 and v2), ospf, igrp, and even IS-IS and eigrp for more than just ip (only advanced BGP is covered in the last chapter). 4. Bridging with a router. 5. Dialer Maps AND Dialer Profiles. 6. VPNs with Crypto-maps 7. HSRP. This book is a good supplement for the CCNA and CCNP course materials and helps to "round-out" the CCNA and CCNP materials. Reading over certain parts helps to refresh your understanding of the CCNP materials and impart subtleties such as: IPX RIP and IPX EIGRP destribute routes between each other by default.
