Cisco routers are everywhere that networks are. They come in all sizes, from inexpensive units for homes and small offices to equipment costing well over $100,000 and capable of routing at gigabit speeds. A fixture in today's networks, Cisco claims roughly 70% of the router market, producing high-end switches, hubs, and other network hardware. One unifying thread runs through the product line: virtually all of Cisco's products run the Internetwork Operating System, or IOS. If you work with Cisco routers, it's likely that you deal with Cisco's IOS software--an extremely powerful and complex operating system, with an equally complex configuration language. With a cryptic command-line interface and thousands of commands--some of which mean different things in different situations--it doesn't have a reputation for being user-friendly. Fortunately, there's help. This second edition of Cisco IOS in a Nutshell consolidates the most important commands and features of IOS into a single, well-organized volume that you'll find refreshingly user-friendly. This handy, two-part reference covers IOS configuration for the TCP/IP protocol family. The first section includes chapters on the user interface, configuring lines and interfaces, access lists, routing protocols, and dial-on-demand routing and security. A brief, example-filled tutorial shows you how to accomplish common tasks. The second part is a classic O'Reilly quick reference to all the commands for working with TCP/IP and the lower-level protocols on which it relies. Brief descriptions and lists of options help you zero in on the commands you for the task at hand. Updated to cover Cisco IOS Software Major Release 12.3, this second edition includes lots of examples of the most common configuration steps for the routers themselves. It's a timely guide that any network administrator will come to rely on. |

Colophon Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The animal on the cover of Cisco IOS in a Nutshell, Second Edition is a donkey, Equus asinus, also known as a domesticated ass. Today's donkeys are probably descendants of the African wild ass, and they were domesticated by the Egyptians around 4,000 B.C. They're about four feet tall, and they're known for long ears, a short mane that looks a bit like a push broom, and the braying noise they make. The big ears and braying enabled wild asses to keep in touch across the far distances that often separated them as they searched for sparse food sources in the African desert. Donkeys are relatives of the horse; although they are considerably smaller in stature than their cousins, they live longer, up to 25 or 30 years. They run as fast as 30 miles per hour. Jamie Peppard was the production editor and proofreader for Cisco IOS in a Nutshell, Second Edition. Lydia Onofrei and Claire Cloutier provided quality control. Abby Fox provided production assistance. Ellen Troutman Zaig wrote the index. Ellie Volckhausen designed the cover of this book, based on a series design by Edie Freedman.
