Networking for System Administrators by Michael W Lucas
"One of the best technical writers in the networking and security environments."
- Midwest Book Review
Stop waiting for the network team!
If basic TCP/IP was hard, network administrators couldn't do it. Servers give sysadmins a incredible visibility into the network-once they know how to unlock it.
Most sysadmins don't need to understand window scaling, or the differences between IPv4 and IPv6 echo requests, or other intricacies of the TCP/IP protocols. You need only enough to deploy your own applications and get easy support from the network team.
This book teaches you:
- How modern networks really work
- The essentials of TCP/IP
- The core of IPv4 and IPv6
- The right tools to diagnose network problems, and how to use them
- Troubleshooting everything from the physical wire to DNS
- How to see the traffic you send and receive
- Connectivity testing
- How to communicate with your network team to quickly resolve problems
A sysadmin doesn't need to know the innards of TCP/IP, but knowing enough to diagnose your own network issues will transforms a good sysadmin into a great one.
The first edition of Networking for System Administrators unlocked networking for hundreds of thousands of sysadmins. This second edition promises the same, and more!
