Junos Cookbook (Cookbooks (O'Reilly)) Review by Gordon Ewasiuk
Worth its weight in GOLD!
I would give this book six stars, if it were possible. This book presents a hands-on guide to JunOS. From installation and upgrade to routing protocols and MPLS -- this books spills the beans. The author provides "recipes" to acheive common routing tasks on JunOS quickly and without fluff. There are no filler chapters on theory, design, and protocols. Just plenty and plenty of practical, extremely useful recipes.
For anyone with a Cisco background, this book will get you up and running quickly with JunOS. Using this book, I was able to:
1) install JunOS;
2) upgrade JunOS;
3) configure NTP;
4) configure network interfaces;
5) configure BGP and ISIS;
6) enable a packet sniffer for troubleshooting purposes;
7) configure RADIUS authentication;
8) backup and restore JunOS configurations over the network;
9) and enable ssh access to a router running JunOS.
That's just scratching the surface of what this book covers. The more I read it, the more I learn -- and the more JunOS impressed me.
The absolutely best technology book I've purchased this year. Highly, highly recommend it to anyone using JunOS or moving to JunOS.
