TCP/IP
Network Administration, 2nd Edition, is a complete
guide to setting up and running a
TCP/IP network for
administrators of networks of systems or users of home
systems that access the Internet. It starts with the
fundamentals: what the protocols do and how they work, how
addresses and routing are used to move data through the
network, and how to set up your network connection.
Beyond basic setup, this new second edition discusses
advanced routing protocols (RIPv2, OSPF, and BGP) and the
gated software package that implements them. It also
provides a tutorial on how to configure important network
services, including PPP, SLIP, sendmail, Domain Name
Service (DNS), BOOTP and DHCP configuration servers, and
some simple setups for NIS and NFS. There are also chapters
on troubleshooting and security. In addition, this book is
a command and syntax reference for several important
packages, including pppd, dip, gated, named, dhcpd, and
sendmail.
