Features: "TCP/IP Network Management (Third Edition)" is a comprehensive guide for setting up and maintaining TCP/IP networks. Whether you are a working system administrator or a home user needing access to the Internet, you will find help in this book. It begins by introducing the theoretical foundation: What are protocols? What are their principles? How do addressing and routing transmit data over a network? How do network connections work? In addition to basic configuration steps, the book also discusses advanced routing protocols (RIPv2, OSPF, BGP) and the gated software that implements these protocols. For various important network services, such as DNS, Apache, sendmail, Samba, PPP, and DHCP, the book provides configuration examples, as well as syntax references for related software packages and tools. New content added in this edition includes: Samba, demonstrating how to inherit file and print sharing services for both UNIX and Windows platforms on a network with both operating systems; Apache, demonstrating how to set up and maintain websites. Topics on network security are also included, covering access control mechanisms for OpenSSH, stunnel, gpg, iptables, and xinetd. The book has also been updated with information on DNS, including details on BIND8 and BIND9. The platforms covered in this book include Linux, Solaris, BSD, and SystemV.
