Cisco Access Control Security: AAA Administration Services Review by Cisco Kid
Never browsed the basic functions of CSACS? - good buy.
This book is what I regrettably expected. It is a good base for anyone who has not browsed Cisco's Access Control Security but I don't recommend it for an in-depth reference or study guide. Whenever there is something I read that I had hoped would offer more detail, I am referred to an out-of-date Cisco link and I am forced to browse Cisco's web site, which seems scattered on the subject - I'll save that one for another time. For instance, I am looking into AV (Attribute Value Pairs) and I want to set up dynamic access-list connections and other functions other than the dynamic list and 'access-enable host timeout' features in the 'Group Setup' and it gives a hint or two that what I have in mind is possible through AV Pairs, but that is it. It doesn't show how to set them up, so I have been spending the usual hours getting piece by piece information on Cisco's site. So I spend the usual time - hours on Cisco's site instead of using the book as a valuable reference tool. There are lots of examples like this, however. The book has given me some knowledge and value but only to frustrate me because there is not much technical detail that I haven't already seen on Cisco's web site, which is why I bought the book in the first place. Good book for getting to know CSACS but if you want to be a real technician, I have no other referrals for you because this book won't give them, so good luck with browsing Cisco.com.
