Features: This book is a comprehensive and detailed professional guide to the Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) within the interconnected network. It is an indispensable classic in the field of IGP. The book is divided into three parts. The first part introduces the basic knowledge of networks and routing, including IPv4, IPv6, and routing technologies. The second part is the highlight of the book, which provides an in-depth and detailed explanation of various commonly used interior routing protocols such as RIP, RIPv2, RIPng, classless routing, EIGRP, OSPFv2, OSPFv3, IS-IS, and more. 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 problems. The third part introduces important and effective routing control tools such as route redistribution, default routing/conditional routing, route filtering, and route mapping, which are used to create and manage the coordination and interoperability of multiple IP routing protocols. The appendix covers topics such as binary and hexadecimal conversion, access lists, and CCIE tips. Compared to the first edition, the second edition of this book includes the following updates: Building upon 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 separate chapter dedicated to OSPFv3 in IPv6, which is a major 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book has been updated to reflect the latest developments in the Internet and Cisco IOS systems, appropriately removing outdated content such as bridges and IGRP, and adding explanations of many new IOS enhancement features.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 the TCP/IP interior routing protocol implementations under IPv6. The detailed explanations of protocol specifics and the exploration of network examples in this book are sure to provide readers with significant benefits.
