Features: This book uses concise and clear language, employs numerous illustrations and examples, and provides easy-to-understand explanations to comprehensively and systematically introduce the working characteristics of TCP/IP networks as well as the classification of IP addresses and subnetting methods. On this basis, it thoroughly covers the technologies and methods for interconnecting IP networks. The content of this book can be summarized into two parts: TCP/IP Management and Network Interconnection.
The TCP/IP Management section primarily introduces the composition, working characteristics, and management methods of TCP/IP, while also covering the classification features of IP addresses and the methods for subnetting and managing them. The Network Interconnection section focuses on the configuration, application, and management of routers, providing detailed explanations of methods for interconnecting and managing IP networks. This includes the composition of routers, the installation and configuration of routers, router IOS operations, the implementation and management of static routing protocols, the implementation and management of RIP routing protocols, the implementation and management of OSPF routing protocols, the implementation and management of IGRP, EIGRP, and IS-IS routing protocols, the configuration and application of ACLs, the configuration and application of NAT, and more.
At the end of the book, the usage of router simulators is introduced, and through this, the content covered earlier in the book is reviewed. This book can serve as a reference for small and medium-sized LAN builders, users, and administrators. It can also be used as a textbook for vocational colleges, various training institutions, and as supplementary material for university-level computer network courses. Additionally, it serves as a fundamental textbook for readers seeking to delve deeper into computer network knowledge.
