Networking
Second Edition

Jeffrey S. Beasley

This text provides a comprehensive look at computer networking from the
point of view of the network administrator. It guides readers from an
entry-level knowledge in computer networks to advanced concepts in
Ethernet networks; router configuration; TCP/IP networks; local-,
campus-, and wide-area network configuration; network security; optical
networks; voice over IP; and industrial networks. Extensive examples on
the Windows Server 2003/2008 configuration and system configuration for
the Linux operating system are also included. A complete chapter is
devoted to protecting and securing a network from potential network
attacks. Topics include denial of service attacks, firewalls, intrusion
detection, password cracking, packet sniffing, and analyzing unsecured
data packets. Other key network security issues, such as configuring
router access lists, configuring a virtual private network (VPN)
connection, and securing wireless networks, are also covered. Router
configuration is examined, ranging from an introduction to router
configuration to configuring multiple routing protocols for intranet and
Internet data traffic. Routing protocols key to basic network operations
are examined, including static, RIP, IGRP, OSPF, EIGRP, and BGP. The
discussions on routing protocols are accompanied with in-depth steps for
configuring the router to run the protocol, verify operation, and
troubleshoot the router.

Key Pedagogical Features
- NET-CHALLENGE SOFTWARE provides a simulated, hands-on experience in
configuring routers and switches. Exercises provided in the text and on
the CD challenge readers to undertake certain router/switch network
configuration tasks. The software has the look and feel of actually
being connected to the router or switch console port.
- PROTOCOL ANALYZER SOFTWARE included with the text uses the Finisar
Surveyor Demo. Examples of using the software to analyze data traffic
are included throughout the text.
- ACCOMPANYING CD-ROM includes the Finisar Surveyor Demo software and
captured data traffic used in the text, which enables readers to capture
data traffic on their own networks.
- CONFIGURING, ANALYZING, or TROUBLESHOOTING sections are included
with each chapter to guide the reader through advanced techniques in
networking.
- OBJECTIVES and INTRODUCTION at the beginning of each chapter clearly
outline specific goals for the reader.
- EXTENSIVE PROBLEM SETS, SUMMARIES, and QUESTIONS AND PROBLEMS
(including Critical Thinking questions) are found at the end of each
chapter.
- KEY TERMS and their definitions are highlighted in the margins to
foster inquisitiveness and ensure retention.
