TCP IP Network Administration

Craig Hunt9781565923225, 1-56592-322-7

TCP/IP Network Administration, 2nd Edition is a complete guide to setting up and running a TCP/IP network for administrators of networks of systems or lone home systems that access the Internet. It starts with the fundamentals: what the protocols do and how they work, how addresses and routing are used to move data through the network, and how to set up your network connection. Beyond basic setup, this new second edition discusses advanced routine protocols (RIPv2, OSPF, and BGP) and the gated software package that implements them. It contains a tutorial on configuring important network services, including PPP, SLIP, sendmail, Domain Name Service (DNS), BOOTP and DHCP configuration servers, some simple setups for NIS and NFS, and chapters on troubleshooting and security. In addition, this book is a command and syntax reference for several important packages, including pppd , dip , gated , named , dhcpd , and sendmail . Covers Linux, BSD, and System V TCP/IP implementations.
