The IGPs book is well underway, and I am really pleased with how it’s shaping up.
I have finished the first draft of the chapter on RIP and am deep into EIGRP at the moment.
Here’s a look at (part of) the topology, if you are interested:

The above topology does just cover RIP and EIGRP, it will expand as OSPF and IS-IS are added.
I still reckon the book finished around the summer.
So, here is a question to you guys and girls. Would you be interested in a Kindle eBook presale?
I can’t do a printed presale but can do Kindle.

In other news, I am working my way through the VXLANs book. Interesting stuff!
Stay well.
Thanks for sharing, writing so many great books 🙂
Looking forward to reading this!
Great looking forward to your new books, I would enjoy a PDF version, but very much prefer having the actual book and running through them. They are always so useful. I am just starting to re-read the BGP book as I need to refresh my understanding.. lol As always.
Thanks, Paul, really glad you enjoy them!
I did contemplate PDF, but they get copied so easily that it would not work in my favour!
The print one will be out the same time as the Kindle version though.
I have enjoyed reading the first three books, BGP, MPLS and VPN, an easy read and up to the point. Couldn’t wait to see the new IGP book. Hopefully we see this edition soon. Best.
Thanks!
hello , !
Any news about the book ?
Nope.
Am not finding any free time to do any writing at the moment.
Dear Sir,
Kindly advise on the system spec for the above IGP lab OR if you have one already kindly share the link for better understanding for the lab setup. Actually, I have 32 GB RAM 500 GB SSD (Dedicated for the lab) along with few secondary HDD, AMD Processor. Will these be sufficient for large scale labs ?
PS: I am able to run the CCNP level topologies ( cisco switches, nexus, PA and Fortinet firewalls using EVE-NG). Thanks ever so much in advance.
depends on the CPU, but it looks like a decent spec. Might need a bit more memory though.
Hi Stuart,
I bought all your books and I found them all valuable and worth all single penny I spent.
Looking forward to your new IGP book. As I prefer to read the paper than on the PC would you consider to print directly on my printer once the payment gets to you? You just need to install a Canon. I know, it’s quite boring but would you suggest another method to deliver your work in paper?
Hi
All the books can be bought in paperback from Amazon.
Thanks
Stuart
Hi
when are you planning to launch the first edition ?
Hi
I have no plans for this at the moment.
Cheers
Stuart
