These days, just about anyone - programmers, accountants, managers, and others, can "accidentally" become a network administrator, and have the responsibility of router maintenance fall right in their laps. Whether this describes you, or if you just want to get a better handle on configuring routers and designing networks, then Configuring Cisco Routers for ISDN is your kind of book. This heavy-duty resource, perfect as a daily on-the-job reference or as a supplement to related Cisco courses, shows network administrators all the ins and outs of how to install, troubleshoot, and solve real-world configuration problems. Featuring specific cases of Cisco router connections and detailed descriptions of real products, it's expressly designed to let you quickly set up network connections without hours and hours of training. You get full coverage of the "triple As" of Cisco routing commands (authentication, authorization, and accounting), and you'll also be able to conveniently download actual router configurations from the author's own test lab on the web.
