Hi,
I've thumbed through that book and thought it looked very good. It appears
to be well written and very comprehensive. However, for the R&S lab, I
think it's overkill and too focused on theory versus configuration.
But, I've just discovered another book on security that I think is much more
suited to the R&S Lab and I've been going through this book very carefully.
The book just came out recently and is excellent. It's called Cisco Router
Firewall Security, isbn 1-58705-175-3, by Richard Deal.
Now, this book covers a number of topics that are not of major concern for
R&S candidates like authentication proxy, cbac, ids, etc, however, at least
12 of the 20 chapters of the book are very relevant to any R&S candidate.
This book contains lots of examples, and does a very good job of
highlighting different ways of doing something and explaining when one way
should be used versus another way. It also does an excellent job of
explaining when and why to use the various optional parameters of lots of
commands that trick us candidates up.
So, take a look at it and see what you think. Both are good books, but for
the R&S lab, I vote for this book.
HTH, Tim
