Foundry Networks books?

[Rogue]

I am looking at a job that requires me to know how to configure and manage Foundry equipment. Anyone know of any good books on Foundry gear and configuration?

Last I checked, Foundry clones the Cisco switch CLI.

its close but not quite so robust.

I'm sure it's kinda sorta mostly the same config syntax but missing all the little things. The Dell Delta Networks switches have the same problem, as do most "Cisco compatible CLI" devices I've ever used.

Not a single one of them has EMACS editing keys

I think if you know the basic cisco cli, you should be fine with the foundry gear.
If you don't mind, you could take the foundry classes offered by foundry. The 1st one teaches you everything you know up to L3 (FastIron switches). The second class teaches you L4+ and advanced routing (bigIron switches). My understanding is that those two classes pretty much teach you everything you need to know for their switches.
