Summary: Ok reference between the mistakes
Comment: I started out with only this book as guide through the Cisco SNA/IP integration world. It was a good help although unreadable as a book, it's really a reference guide (nothing else than you'll find at CCO). It takes you through all the options there are available with Cisco equipment to integrate the SNA networks into your existing network, but does not really help out in the real complex configurations. i.e. it'll discuss CIP and APPN/HPR, CIP and TN3270, but not CIP, APPN/HPR and TN3270 which is quite common in redundancy cases. There are also quite a few mistakes in the examples (mainly wrong picture for the example), but this will keep you awake. What's really missing is the Cisco specifics, like APPN/ISR and not releasing session, which eliminates the need for APPN/HPR configurations (which are far worse to think up). All in all, an ok reference for on the shelve and still a good guide to check your options when needing to integrate SNA and LAN with Cisco equipment.

Summary: Necessity for CCIE
Comment: If you are trying to teach yourself the details of DLSw+, RSRB, IRB, etc, this book is full of complete sample configurations. Yes, you can find this same stuff on the Doc CD if have an hour to spare finding what you are looking for. I would particularly recommend this book to CCIE candidates because you will have these IOS documentation books at your disposal during the hands-on lab. You might as well start learning where to find things: before the lab.

Summary: Good reference book
Comment: This book is basically a printout of the Cisco website. However it does read a little better than some of the Cisco web pages, and it since it covers content you'll need to pass your CCIE, its a must for every candidates collection. A really helpful companion to this book is the CCIE DLSw+ quiz
