| Knowing how to install, configure, and troubleshoot a computer network is a highly
marketable and exciting skill. This book first introduces the fundamental building
blocks that form a modern network, such as protocols, topologies, hardware, and network
operating systems. It then provides in-depth coverage of the most important concepts in
contemporary networking, such as client/server architecture, TCP/IP, Ethernet, wireless
transmission, and security. After reading the book, you will be prepared to select the best
network design, hardware, and software for your environment. You will also have the skills
to build a network from scratch and maintain, upgrade, and troubleshoot an existing network.
Finally, you will be well-prepared to pass CompTIA’s (the Computing Technology
Industry Association’s) Network+ certification exam.
Because some technical topics can be difficult to grasp, this book explains concepts logically
and in a clear, approachable style. In addition, concepts are reinforced by real-world
examples of networking issues from a professional’s standpoint. The numerous tables and
illustrations, along with the glossaries, appendices, and study questions make the book a
valuable reference for any networking professional.
The Network+ CoursePrep Exam Guide, which you can download from
http://www.courseptr.com/downloads, offers several hundred multiple choice questions to
further prepare you for passing CompTIA’s Network+ certification exam. |
