Practical Guide to Advanced Networking, A (paperback)

Description

This book takes a pragmatic, hands-on approach to teaching advanced modern networking concepts from the network administrator’s point of view. It introduces each new concept in clear, easy-to-understand language, explaining how each technology is used, and reinforcing every idea and technique with practical examples and exercises. Readers will learn how to design, configure, and manage campus networks, connect networks to the Internet, and apply advanced networking technologies. They will learn today’s most valuable techniques for designing network infrastructure; configuring routers with RIPv2, OSPF, EIGRP, IS-IS, and BGP; using network management and analysis tools; running IPv6; networking Linux; securing networks, and using VoIP. This new Third Edition has been revised and reorganized to serve as a text for a second-semester networking course, following logically from the authors’ Networking Essentials, Third Edition, ISBN 9780789749031.

A Practical Guide to Advanced Networking, Third Edition takes a pragmatic, hands-on approach to teaching advanced modern networking concepts from the network administrator’s point of view. Thoroughly updated for the latest networking technologies and applications, the book guides you through designing, configuring, and managing campus networks, connecting networks to the Internet, and using the latest networking technologies. The authors first show how to solve key network design challenges, including data flow, selection of network media, IP allocation, subnetting, and configuration of both VLANs and Layer 3 routed networks. Next, they illuminate advanced routing techniques using RIP/RIPv2, OSPF, IS-IS, EIGRP, and other protocols, and show how to address common requirements such as static routing and route redistribution. You’ll find thorough coverage of configuring IP-based network infrastructure, and using powerful WireShark and NetFlow tools to analyze and troubleshoot traffic. A full chapter on security introduces best practices for preventing DoS attacks, configuring access lists, and protecting routers, switches, VPNs, and wireless networks. This book’s coverage also includes IPv6, Linux-based networking, Juniper routers, BGP Internet routing, and Voice over IP (VoIP). Every topic is introduced in clear, easy-to-understand language; key ideas are reinforced with working examples, and hands-on exercises based on powerful network simulation software.

Jeffrey S. Beasley is with the Department of Engineering Technology and Surveying Engineering at New Mexico State University. He has been teaching with the department since 1988 and is the co-author of Modern Electronic Communication and Electronic Devices and Circuits, and the author of Networking.

Piyasat Nilkaew is a network engineer with 15 years of experience in network management and consulting, and has extensive expertise in deploying and integrating multiprotocol and multivendor data, voice, and video network solutions on limited budgets.

The new edition splits the previous book (Networking, Second Edition) into two volumes. This second volume covers the advanced material at about the level of the CCNA certification. The text has been revised and reorganized to focus on the introductory networking student. A new chapter on network infrastructure design has been added. The section on network management has been expanded and also includes a chapter on analyzing network data traffic. The chapter on network security has been expanded to cover router and switch security, intrusion detection and prevention, VPNs, and wireless security. A new chapter has been added on IPv6 and the BGP coverage has been expanded. The voice over IP section has been updated and a new chapter has been added on advanced networking that covers network planning, appliances, technologies, and wireless networking.

In addition to the text updates, the lab manual has been overhauled to add new labs and the NetChallenge software has been expanded to cover new exercises.
