Well, I do not know if you guys read my first comments on the books but I
was not too thrilled about these first few
chapters.
Chapt 2 and 3 are not very strong on presentation and content. Check
archives for earlier comments
To add to comments about chapt 3:
There is a Command review on IGRP on page 80 which is good but
somewhat not very well explained with the context of the chapter????????????
Left me perplexed anyway!
Chapter 4 is a IPv4 review: subnetting, CIDR, ip helper address, ip
unnumbered etc This chapter is well presented,
so worth reading, but what I don't really understand is why the authors
assume that you know what the exact syntax
of a command "replacements" are? Let me explain with an example:
Routerc(config)# ip unnumbered <donor interface id>
Seems pretty straight forward. But what I like is that it should be
reinforced with perhaps a diagram with proper interface naming and complete
with a concrete example. I call it a sample configuration!!!!!!!
Chapt 5 and 6:
Very good intro to OSPF follow by very good descriptions of output commands.
Now we are talking Mr. Thomas.
Of course I have to comment on the commands that have the "syntax
description" only rather than a real sample configuration. These are STUDY
GUIDES. I am learning the stuff so please do not "assume" that I know it
because I sure don't.
I expected a list of commands as per page 80 at end of chapter 3, but
NOOOOOOOOO. What happen to standard
writing between chapters? Doesn't this make it a better flow and answers
readers expectation?
Any comments are welcome. (not too much flaming, please)
Daniel
