Book Description
Configuring Cisco Voice Over IP, Second Edition provides network administrators with a thorough understanding of Cisco's current voice solutions. This book is organized around the configuration of all of Cisco's core VoIP products, including Cisco CallManager software, Cisco 7910 series of phones, and server-based IP PBXs. In addition, AVVID coverage has been added.
An update to a bestselling title in a growth market.
Continued competitive pressure on ISPs to deliver VoIP will create strong demand information on topic
Voice Over IP is expected to make great inroads in 2002. Voice-over-IP got its start at the time of the first edition of the book; it is now real and more companies are adopting it since IT managers have become less skeptical of IP telephony's reliability and more aware of the potential cost savings and application benefits of a converged network. Voip wares now promise easier quality-of-service (QoS) deployment, and a multitude of new IP phones and conferencing stations for corporations.
Cisco and IBM recently announced a package deal that could help businesses quickly roll out IP voice in a small or midsize office. Since getting into the IP telephony market two years ago, Cisco has seen quick success in selling its voice-over-IP products into its vast installed base of IP LAN equipment customers. The firm was the top vendor of IP phones in the first quarter of this year and second in IP PBX system shipments (behind 3Com), according to Cahners In-Stat.

Customer Reviews & Comments
I have a theory. My theory states that any book written with big fonts and big space between lines is not good. The logic behind this thought is that some people want to write thick books to impress the readers but due to the lack of content they end up putting everything in big fonts to fill the pages. This seems to be the case. This book tries to be somewhat actual by presenting relatively new hardware like the VWIC multiflex trunk cards, with tables listing hardware and software compatibility matrixes which is a waste of paper becase this can be found in the cisco webpage. Then it falls hard behind on treating important matters like getting deeper into H.323 or SIP. For instance, the book has only FOUR pages covering SIP (including the pictures) and TWO pages for MGCP. The kicker is the chapter treating QoS and TOS field marking. It slightly goes over IP precedence with very poor and quick explanations and does not even mention the existence of the DSCP interpretation of the TOS field! Definitely a book to forget if you want something actual for VoIP. What? Why I bought this book? Well... I'm still asking myself. Maybe because I trusted in the only one review saying it rocks.
