Features: Currently, computer networks have become an important tool for communication in modern information society. From the rapid rise of local area networks (LANs) in the 1980s to the development of the Internet (Interne) in the mid-to-late 1990s; from small networks composed of personal computers to large networks composed of supercomputers; from small networks formed by a family, an office, or a department to large networks covering an enterprise, a city, a region, a country, or even the entire globe, computer networks have become ubiquitous and are widely applied in various fields such as scientific research, education, management, and entertainment, serving as a crucial infrastructure in information society. This book covers network fundamentals, the principles and debugging of network devices, and network planning. It discusses overall network design solutions, the engineering design of campus network integrated platforms, and case studies. From basic knowledge to the latest intelligent integrated systems, and from the fundamental concepts of wired LANs to wireless LAN technologies, detailed discussions are provided. Readers will not only master the basics of wired LANs but also learn how to develop solutions, configure switching and routing devices, select transmission media, and manage computer networks. The book also introduces the latest practical computer network engineering design techniques for wireless networks. Based on the knowledge required for constructing LANs, this book reflects the most up-to-date technologies and is a summary of the author's years of engineering experience. It serves as a highly practical reference book for computer network engineering. This book is suitable for engineering technicians, project management personnel, system integration technology professionals, and network application technology professionals engaged in computer network engineering.
