Features: This book is a professional and comprehensive guide to the Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) within interconnected networks, regarded as an indispensable classic in the field of IGP. It is divided into three parts. The first part introduces fundamental knowledge of networks and routing, including IPv4, IPv6, and routing technologies. The second part is the core of the book, providing detailed and in-depth coverage of various commonly used interior routing protocols such as RIP, RIPv2, RIPng, classless routing, EIGRP, OSPFv2, OSPFv3, IS-IS, etc. Each chapter not only elaborates on the implementation mechanisms and parameters of the protocol to give readers a clear understanding of its principles but also discusses the configuration and troubleshooting methods of the protocol on Cisco routers in real-world network environments, helping readers acquire practical skills for solving real-world issues. The third part introduces important and effective routing control tools such as route redistribution, default routing/conditional routing, route filtering, and route mapping, used to create and manage the coordination and interoperability of multiple IP routing protocols. The appendix covers binary and hexadecimal conversions, access lists, and CCIE tips. Compared to the first edition, the second edition of this book includes the following updates: Building on the detailed explanation of IGP in IPv4 in the first edition, it significantly expands the implementation and configuration of corresponding protocols in IPv6, with a dedicated chapter on OSPFv3 applied in IPv6, which is a highlight of the new edition. Additionally, the book has been updated to reflect the latest developments in the Internet and Cisco IOS systems, appropriately removing outdated content such as bridges and IGRP while adding explanations of many new IOS enhancement features. The readers of this book are not only those preparing for the CCIE exam but also any network designers and engineers who need a complete understanding of IPv4, especially IPv6-based TCP/IP interior routing protocols. The detailed explanations of protocol specifics and the exploration of network examples in this book are sure to provide readers with significant benefits.
