In the paragraph that breaks across pps. 56 & 57, the sentence

that reads:

"Routers establish broadcast domains, which are portions of a network
within which a broadcast is seen by all machines."

was changed to:

"Routers establish broadcast domains, which are portions of a network
within which a broadcast is seen by all machines (a single IP network,
in the case of TCP/IP)."

Figure 6-1: the second number of each IP address was changed

from "168" to "16", so that the numbers are now 172.16.48.0/24,
172.16.50.0/23, 172.16.49.0/24, and 192.16.0.0/24.

Also, the segment connecting Router1, Router2, and Router3 together
was labeled 172.16.32.0/24, the segment above Router1 was labeled
172.16.33.0/24, and the segment above Router2 was labeled 172.16.34.0/24.

The code now reads:

router ospf 1
network 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 area 0
! redistribute my static routes with a type-2 external metric of 1
redistribute static metric 1
! originate a default route if I have one
default-information originate
!
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.100.250

Also, the following paragraph was added to the end of the section (top
third of pg 141):

Because I wished to propagate a default route into the OSPF routing
domain, I had to include the <typewriter-text>default-information
originate</typewriter-text> statement in the configuration. Unlike
RIP, OSPF treats the default route as a special case in the IOS.
Without this additional statement, the default route, regardless of
its source, will not be injected into the OSPF routing domain. If you
only wish to propagate non-default static routes, you do not need this
statement.

Error in the sample configuration: where the example read:

reads "redistribute eigrp 71" and "distribute-list 12 out eigrp 71".

Replaced the tail of the first paragraph from

"Fortunately, really dangerous denial of service..."

with:

"For example, one current denial of service attack
called "SMURF" (see http://www.quadrunner.com/~chuegen/
smurf.txt for details and the latest defenses) is nearly
impossible to trace to the true perpatrator without the
cooperation of network engineers at each step of the way.
Without a good relationship with your peer engineers (and
they with theirs), the best you can hope to do is ride it
out."

The 3rd line from the bottom of the page, which reads:

"dialer-list 1 protocol ip list 27"

Should be accompanied by the following note from the author:

"Versions of the IOS prior to 10.3 required an alternate form of this
command that reads 'dialer-list 1 list 27'. This applied equally to
all protocols that were supported for dial-on-demand routing. In
versions of the IOS that support both commands, Cisco has indicated
that the newer format is preferred and should be used for all new
installations."

and the new address is:

The address:

"ip-request@rs.apnic.net"

The web site remains the same at "http://www.apnic.net/."
