Product Description

Review
'Subtitled Help for Unix System Administrators, this is the essential reference. The first edition was a classic of clarity and was devoid of any extraneous detail. The second edition follows that tradition... Everyone charged with administering a Unix system needs a reference guide. This one puts the facts at your fingertips in a concise, yet readable style with little or no fluff.' IT Training, December 1999/January 2000

Product Description
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 users of 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 routing protocols (RIPv2, OSPF, and BGP) and the gated software package that implements them. It also provides a tutorial on how to configure important network services, including PPP, SLIP, sendmail, Domain Name Service (DNS), BOOTP and DHCP configuration servers, and some simple setups for NIS and NFS. There are also 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. Contents include: Overview of TCP/IP Delivering the Data Network Services Getting Started Basic Configuration Configuring the Interface Configuring Routing Configuring DNS Name Service Configuring Network Servers sendmail Troubleshooting TCP/IP Network Security Internet Information Resources Appendixes include: dip, pppd and chat reference; a gated reference; a named reference; a dhcpd reference; and a sendmail reference Covers Linux, BSD, and System V TCP/IP implementations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Answers all those "Hmmm" questions, 11 Oct 2002
By Dave (Birmingham, England) - See all my reviews
I thought I had a good understanding of TCP/IP, but with the need to grasp Mail Services and SSH, I started to get lost.

This book helped me no end. I read it through cover to cover and it gave me a much better understanding of not only TCP/IP but some of the more popular services that run over it. It covers basic TCP/IP methodology (including the dreaded ISO seven layer model), through subnet masking and routing as well as basic DNS, Sendmail and Apache configuration.

I now feel I can go back and read the Bat (Sendmail) and Grasshoppers (DNS & BIND) books and get a lot more out of them.

This book looks like it will fit firmly in among the numerous other O'Reilly books on my desk. I'm thinking - do O'Reilly offer a discount if I buy all of there books ;-)

I would recommend this book to people who think they know enough to get by, and those just entering into the world of TCP/IP.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not much to say, 8 April 2003
I like the O'Reilly series and how they present information.
This is one of the first O'Reilly books I bought while working in an ISP and Web Hosting company and it became a cherished reference though my copy is older and their are bound to be revisions I can't recommend this enough for anyone who works with TCP/IP networks on any level.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for any network administrator, 13 Dec 1998
By A Customer
In the first chapters this book crams in a lot of background info which makes you go "Ahh! So thats why....". The following chapters are the most clearly explained guide to 'actually doing it'. Well done the author, and all involved with the project.
