SEATTLE, WA, October 23, 2012 (Press-News.org) Anyone who has ever had to set up or configure a Cisco router knows first-hand the challenge of understanding the strange command syntax and quirkiness of the Cisco Internetwork Operating System. As powerful as it is, its commands are unusual and its help is limited.
A veteran Seattle, WA based IT author and speaker is doing his best to simplify the process of Cisco router configuration. Don R. Crawley has just released the latest in the Accidental Administrator series, The Accidental Administrator : Cisco Router Step-by-Step Configuration Guide. The series title refers to people who suddenly find themselves tasked with setting up and managing a Cisco router. Although the process of understanding the Cisco command-line interface can be daunting and occasionally confusing and frustrating, Crawley makes abundant use of easy-to-follow instructions, screen captures, network diagrams, and anecdotes to guide the reader through the process.
The Accidental Administrator : Cisco Router Step-by-Step Configuration Guide, published by soundtraining.net, is intended as a practical guide for IT professionals and accidental administrators who are interested in learning how to configure, manage, and troubleshoot Cisco routers.
This unique book includes 30 hands-on, interactive exercises including installation, routing protocol configuration, site-to-site VPN configuration, and configuring IPv6 on a Cisco router.
Included in the book are chapters on:
*Installation and initial setup
*Understanding the OSI reference model

Designed for working IT staff and individuals knowledgeable about computers, but new to routers, The Accidental Administrator : Cisco Router Step-by-Step Configuration Guide is designed to help the reader build a working router configuration from the ground up in as short a time as possible.
