The comprehensive, hands-on guide to all
Cisco IOS Software OSPF commands
- Stands as the complete OSPF command reference --
invaluable for network designers, engineers, and
architects
- Provides configuration, troubleshooting, and
verification scenarios for every possible OSPF command
supported by Cisco IOS Software that can be
implemented on a minimum number of routers
- Groups OSPF commands by area of implementation --
area configuration, redistribution, neighbor
relationships, and route filtering, just to name a few
- Provides clear and concise commentary on the
initial release, purpose, syntax, and usage of each
OSPF command
- Offers excellent CCIE certification preparation
from one of the CCIE Program Managers
- Constructed as a portable field guide with easily
navigable content so you can quickly find the
information you need when you need it
As
one of the most predominantly deployed Interior Gateway
Protocols, Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) demands a
wealth of knowledge on the part of internetworking
professionals working with it on a daily basis.
Unfortunately, publicly available documentation on the
OSPF command set varies from being too thin on coverage
to being too demanding on the required equipment needed
to test what the documentation covers.
Cisco OSPF
Command and Configuration Handbook is a clear,
concise, and complete source of documentation for all
Cisco IOS Software OSPF commands. The way you use this
book will depend on your objectives. If you are
preparing for the CCIE written and lab exams, then this
book can be used as a laboratory guide to learn the
purpose and proper use of every OSPF command. If you are
a network designer, then this book can be used as a
ready reference for any OSPF command.
Cisco OSPF
Command and Configuration Handbook provides example
scenarios that demonstrate the proper use of every OSPF
command that can be implemented on a minimum number of
routers. This will enable you to learn each command
without requiring an extensive and expensive lab
configuration. The scenarios clearly present the purpose
and use of each command. Some of the examples lead you
into common non-working situations in order to reinforce
the understanding of the operation of the particular
OSPF command.
Author Bill Parkhurst provides concise
snapshots of every command with regard to command
purpose, usage, syntax explanation, initial introduction
in Cisco IOS Software, and cross references to related
commands also covered in the book. This book covers many
OSPF topic areas, including interface configuration,
OSPF area configuration, route filtering, OSPF process
configuration, route cost, default route generation,
redistribution, administrative distance, OSPF neighbor
relationships, route summarization, and show, debug, and
clear commands.
