Cisco Router Configuration Handbook (2nd Edition) (Networking Technology) ReviewI bought this book with the hopes that it would cover the latest versions of Cisco IOS and the latest generation of the ISR / ISRG2 routers (2900 and 3900).Well, I can't say how disappointed I am in my initial review of the book. I am a voice engineer and the UC section and the initial hardware overview section have not been updated which makes me concerned to rely on other sections of the book since I have to assume other sections haven't been updated since the first edition as well.
The initial hardware chapter still references hardware file system limitations for the 1003,1004,1005,1600,1700,2500,2600,3600,4000,as5200, and mc3810. It doesn't even make a mention of ISR 2800/3800/2900/3900 routers. There are many changes with the latest generation ISRG2's such as license enforcement and these topics are not covered.
In addition to the hardware overview, the book covers the Service Assurance Agent (SAA) which was renamed to IP SLA quite a while ago.
Buffer / Memory management sections also cover old router models and don't make mention of the newer routers.
==Voice / Unified Communications Chapter==
This chapter does have a note that indicates the section covers configuration for the newer 2800/2900/3800 but in my opinion does not appear to contain many recent additions.
It mentions G711/G729 without even listing the newer codecs such as G722 and ilbc. The DSP configuration section has not been updated for ISRs or ISRG2s. It lists older models by name. ISR and ISR G2 DSP architecture is significantly different from the older routers and this section does not have any information on the current shipping router models. SAA is also mentioned here as well and the configuration tasks listed are not relevant to the new IP SLA configuration.
In summary, there is ALOT of information covered in this book including a lengthy section on IPv6. However, it is a "configuration handbook" not a theory book, and in many cases the book has not been updated to reflect the recent changes within Cisco router hardware or software development.
This book will be useful for someone new to Cisco routers or someone who is dabbling in areas outside of their expertise. However for someone experienced in Cisco IOS it may contain too much outdated information to be useful or relevant to the current technologies in the latest 12.4T or 15.x IOS trains.
