YES! It's an operational, hands-on guide to JunOS. Strongly recommend. Especially for those who are coming from the C vendor. Published in April 2006 so it is relatively current. Chapter Index: Router Configuration and File Management Basic Router Security and Access Control IPSec SNMP Logging NTP Router Interfaces IP Routing Routing Policy and Firewall Filters RIP IS-IS OSPF BGP MPLS VPNs IP Multicast It's a no-nonsense guide too. Assumes a level of expertise regarding protocols and standards. You don't get chapters and chapters of theory and background. Just lots of practical, hands-on JunOS commands and recipes. Best book I've purchased this year. -Gordon ___ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp

The only part I've really missed is info on certain L2 functions of JunOS, but that's easily found on the Juniper site. -- Stephen. ___ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp

Re: [j-nsp] JunOS cookbook thoughts?
I would say that it's a good primer for people new to Juniper, but is not a substitute (nor is it intended to be) for the online docs, as someone mentioned earlier in this thread. It is pretty high level, but gets your mind in the right 'space' prior to getting heavily into configuring Juniper routers.
