Starting with the basic concepts and progressing to specifics, this handbook helps readers understand what a LAN is and does. It discusses every aspect of LAN hardware and software to help users decide if they need a LAN and, if so, how to go about purchasing, installing, and running one. Taking a detailed, objective approach, the handbook covers the strengths and weaknesses of all major vendors ...the latest wiring standards and new ways to link LANs ...new bridges and faster LANs under development ...and how theory is implemented in practice, including the ISO model and how it applies specifically to LANs.
This practical reference for LAN, WAN and internetworking managers gives them the information they need to know to protect their networks from outside and inside threats. It covers both voice and data network protection, showing where companies are usually weak and how to implement effective network security audits.
