Question

Looking for some bed time reading to get a bit more into IOS.

Any recommendations? I have an idea of a basic router config for IP traffic but keen to learn more, so don't want anything to heavy.

TIA,

Chris.

Depends really what aspect you want to get deeper into.

A really good overview covering a variety of topics is

"Managing IP Networks with Cisco Routers" by O'reilly" but you may well find that only helps in one or two more areas.

If you want to understand routing protocols the Cisco Router Black Book is one I would recommend. Some really good examples of inter-protocol route distribution - but it has bugger all on Dial or VPN configuration for example.

Many if the CCNA / CCNP study guides give some good general IOS adv advice (keeping track of the variuou sessions you have open, basic dial configs, terminal servers) that sort of thing,

I find the Cisco Press books excellent - if a trifle expensive! There is a good deal of overlap though.

Routing TCP/IP Vol 1 covers musch the same as the Black Book above
Routing TCP/IP Vol 2 covers BGP in some details plus a few other bits like Multicast etc.

FOr more detail on spoecific configs I tned to use the web-site extensivley.

Overall I would recommend the black book if you need to anything more than the most basic actual routing config. The sheer range of IOS functions these days though tends to work against a one book fits all solution though.
