Features: This book is a planned teaching material for higher vocational and technical colleges in the 21st century, aimed at cultivating students' basic qualities and mastering fundamental knowledge of computer networks. While explaining theories, it emphasizes practical applications. The main content of the book: Taking the OSI seven-layer reference model as the main line, it first explains the networking media, data communication, and hubs of the physical layer, as well as the data link layer, local area network (LAN) technology, and switches. Then, it covers routing algorithms and routers in the network layer. It focuses on explaining network interconnection technologies in the TCP/IP reference model and Internet applications, including IPv6. Finally, it discusses VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) technology and Internet security technologies. The book is richly illustrated, explaining the working principles and application scenarios of network interconnection devices such as repeaters, hubs, switches, and routers while teaching theories, preparing readers for subsequent courses on network setup and network management. This book can serve as a textbook for computer information-related majors in higher vocational and technical colleges, as well as a training manual and self-study guide for network enthusiasts.
