Learn how to manage and deploy the latest IP services in Cisco-centric networks.

Understand VPN security concepts: confidentiality, integrity, origin authentication, non-repudiation, anti-replay, perfect forward secrecy
Deploy quality of service technologies to protect your mission-critical applications
Find out how IPsec technology works and how to configure it in IOS
Learn how to set up a router as a firewall and intrusion detection system
Gain efficient use of your IP address space with NAT, VLSM, IP unnumbered
Solve real-world routing problems with redistribution, route filtering, summarization, policy routing
Enable authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) security services wih RADIUS and TACACS+ servers

Enhanced IP Services for Cisco Networks is a guide to the new enabling and advanced IOS services that build more scalable, intelligent, and secure networks. You will learn the technical details necessary to deploy quality of service and VPN technologies, as well as improved security and advanced routing features. These services will allow you to securely extend the network to new frontiers, protect your network from attacks, and enhance network transport with application-level prioritization.

This book offers a practical guide to implementing IPsec, the IOS Firewall, and IOS Intrusion Detection System. Also included are advanced routing principles and quality of service features that focus on improving the capability of your network. A good briefing on cryptography fully explains the science that makes VPNs possible. Rather than being another routing book, this is a guide to improving your network's capabilities by understanding and using the sophisticated features available to you in Cisco's IOS software

Review:

not a pratical resource

I bought this book after seeing all positive feedbacks. However, I must disagree on it. First it's not a pratical resource, at least to me. QoS, Security are evolving subjects, esp in Cisco's arena. This book has been out of dated without getting newer editions out. Second, most subjects are just lack of depth. Perhaps because of the size of book. There are excellent books from CiscoPress in each particular subject this book tries to explore.

Review:

A great book for it's size

When picking up this book, you may wonder how such a small CiscoPress can be of any value. Compared to other CiscoPress books about IP Services (QoS by Odom or Net Security Principals by Malik), Donald Lee does an excellent job at cramming a lot of little nuggets in this book. The discussion on RSVP is probably the best I've read, with good documentation of CAR, RED and CBWFQ. The book should be used as an intro to most QoS services. The author also does an excellent job at showing the differences between Priority, Custom, and WFQ Queuing.

I give this book 5 pings out of 5:

Review:

Wow! It's all so clear now!

I've had this book for a while and bought it because I wanted to know more about VPNs and also due to good reviews. Anyway, the VLSM part is truly outstanding. So is the IPSec section. Then, I started working with PIX for a while so this book was gathering dust until this week when I had to setup a new IOS router for the first time. Since I had never worked with IOS, I reviewed the sections that I had skipped before and they are just as great. CBAC (IOS FW) is clearly explained and shows best practice access-lists, etc. I am also glad to have discovered Annex E (IOS crash course). This author really knows how to convey a somewhat complicated (well, not anymore) subject in such simple and logical manner. Thanks Mr Lee.

Review:

IP++ : Beyond Routing!

Great book that presents the material in a very structured manner
and in a way that is easy to understand. For those of you who are
looking for a good starting point on Quality of Service, IPsec
and other services, this book is for you. Beginners should have a
firm grasp of IP routing before moving on to this book. Although
this book is a relatively fast read compared to other Cisco Press
books, it's full of great information. Must have for your Cisco
library!
