Features: This book covers various concepts and issues related to ISP network engineering. The book is divided into 5 chapters. Chapter introduces Cisco IOS software and its special versions and sub-sequences developed specifically for ISP networks, as well as how to configure and manage this software on routers. Chapter 2 introduces the various IOS software features that ISPs need to understand when organizing and managing routers. Chapter 3 discusses the various software features ISPs need to know when configuring major routing protocols, including HSRP, IGP design, and the software functions and features of Cisco IOS software in terms of BGP configuration. Chapter 4 covers the features and supported functions of IOS software for major security issues on routers, and provides an extensive discussion on the software-supported features in the context of the prevalent Denial of Service (DoS) attacks today. The final chapter explains how to integrate the content of the previous 4 chapters to build an ISP backbone network. The reference information in the appendix of this book supplements the content of the previous chapters, including how to configure routers to suppress routing flapping, as well as the widely adopted network management and monitoring software tools, and a working template for configuring a small ISP network using the ISO software configuration principles mentioned in this book. The primary readers of this book are ISP network engineers, including those in network management centers, customer technical support centers, and engineers specializing in maintaining core backbone network equipment, who will all benefit greatly from this book.
