Features: This book takes an applied perspective and systematically introduces the basic mechanisms, application technologies, and engineering knowledge of local area networks (LANs). The writing approach is structured as follows: in the theoretical foundation section, it explains the basic framework, analytical methods, and fundamental conclusions of LAN technology; in terms of application technologies, it introduces the main solutions currently prevalent in the industry, focusing on cultivating the ability to solve specific problems; in operational skills, it adheres to the principle of "learn and apply," detailing operational steps and precautions; and in the case studies section, it emphasizes the principle of "applying what you learn," providing a design and configuration plan for a campus network. The book consists of 8 chapters, covering topics such as LAN fundamentals, LAN equipment, LAN cabling, LAN operating systems, Windows 2000 Server technology basics, common Internet services, LAN security, and a campus network design and configuration case study. This book can serve as a textbook for higher education institutions, a training manual or self-study reference for LAN technology and networking engineering, and also holds reference value for network engineers and administrators.
