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 major 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; in the case studies section, it emphasizes the principle of "learning to apply," providing a design and configuration plan for a campus network. The book consists of 9 chapters, covering topics such as LAN fundamentals, LAN devices, LAN servers, LAN cabling, LAN operating systems, Windows Server 2003 networking technology basics, common Intranet services, LAN security, and a campus network design and configuration case study. The book is accompanied by Local Area Network Technology and Networking Engineering Practice (Second Edition) for supplementary use. It can serve as a textbook for vocational and technical college students majoring in computer networks and related fields, or as a training manual or self-study reference book for LAN technology and networking engineering. It also holds certain reference value for network engineering professionals and administrators.
