Review: This text book takes a comprehensive look at computer networking from the point of view of the network administrator. It begins with entry-level knowledge in computer networks and goes on to advanced concepts in Ethernet networks, router configurations, TCP/IP networks, routing protocols, local, campus, and wide area network configurations, network security, wireless networking, optical networks, Voice over IP, the network server, Linux networking, and industrial networks. The book aims to cover two semesters: the first explaining how basic computer networks function and describing the hardware. The second looks at configuring and managing the campus network, network security, wireless LANs and optical networks.
