The pressing question for a network engineer is which of the many potential solutions is the most appropriate for a particular situation. Once you have decided to use a particular feature how should you implement it Unfortunately the documentation describing a particular command or feature frequently does very little to answer either of these questions.Everybody who has worked with Cisco routers for any length of time has had to ask their friends and co-workers for example router configuration files that show how to solve a common problem. A good working configuration example can often save huge amounts of time and frustration when implementing a feature that you ve never used before. The Cisco Cookbook gathers hundreds of example router configurations all in one place.As the name suggests Cisco Cookbook is organized as a series of recipes. Each recipe begins with a problem statement that describes a common situation that you might face. After each problem statement is a brief solution that shows a sample router configuration or script that you can use to resolve this particular problem. A discussion section then describes the solution how it works and when you should or should not use it. The chapters are organized by the feature or protocol discussed. If you are looking for information on a particular feature such as NAT NTP or SNMP you can turn to that chapter and find a variety of related recipes. Most chapters list basic problems first and any unusual or complicated situations last.The Cisco Cookbook will quickly become your go to resource for researching and solving complex router configuration issues saving you time and making your network more efficient.
