Features: This book takes network principles as the main thread, analyzing and introducing each component of a network in detail using the "dissecting a sparrow" method, followed by practical examples to demonstrate comprehensive applications. The book consists of three parts and fifteen chapters. Part I Preliminary Knowledge includes: Chapter 1 Overview, Chapter 2 Communication Basics, Chapter 3 Network Architecture, Chapter 4 Network Composition, Chapter 5 Wide Area Network Connection Technologies, Chapter 6 Network Applications. Part II Technical Training includes: Chapter 1 Transmission Media and Network Cards, Chapter 2 Windows Network Applications, Chapter 3 Windows NT Network Application Configuration, Chapter 4 Linux/Unix Network Application Configuration, Chapter 5 NetWare Network Application Configuration, Chapter 6 Router Usage and Configuration, Chapter 7 Switch Applications, Chapter 8 Web Page Creation and Publishing, Chapter 9 Network Configuration Management. Part II includes 58 practical training sessions. Part III Comprehensive Applications takes campus networks and commercial websites as examples, using 14 practical training sessions to describe the complete solution for network planning, design, implementation, and management, cultivating students' comprehensive application and engineering practice abilities. The book's feature lies in establishing a network laboratory around computer network principles, where specific implementation components (coaxial cables, twisted pair cables, fiber optics, structured cabling, network cards, hubs, routers, switches, servers) are verified in a laboratory environment according to teaching requirements and objectives. This achieves teaching goals, deepens the understanding of network principles, and enhances practical hands-on skills. Additionally, it expands on various aspects of network applications, such as network security, network services, virtual private networks (VPNs), firewalls, and IP phones.
