This review is from: Network Tutorial: A Complete Introduction to Networks (Paperback) After reading this tutorial, you will learn every thing you need to know about the basics of networking. Author Steve Steinke has done an excellent job of helping you to explore proper punch-down procedures; understand the different types of cabling used in networks; learn how to configure Windows for a network; discover LANs, MANs, and WANs; identify the various types of networks; explore network cabling; discover typologies used in networking; examine types of network operating systems; discover network protocols and how they "talk" to each other; define ethernet and explore how it uses a system known as CSMA/CD; identify seven layers of communication within a network; and, examine smart modems, IDSNs, DSLs, and cable modems; discover bridges, routers, and switches. In addition, the author will lead you through hands-on activities such as: setting up a peer-to-peer network; building a CAT5 cable; and testing a CAT5 cable with a cable tester. For example, the author begins by with a thorough discussion of network protocols. Next, he goes on to explain the physical layer protocol by touching on encoding, modulation and the physical layer. Then, the author covers data-link protocols by looking at all of the topologies in detail. Next, the author discusses network and transport layer protocols which includes the TCP/IP protocol suite. Then, Steinke examines application layer protocols and how ISPs provide Internet and WWW services. Next, Steinke covers all types of network hardware like cabling fiber optics and wireless LANs. This is followed by a general discussion of network software. Then, the author explains the concept of internetworking. Network and Systems management are covered next. Finally, Steinke concludes with an outstanding detailed examination of network security and backup systems. Comment | | (Report this)
