Local Area Network Management, Design & Security

Most workplaces rely on local area networks (LANs) to connect their computers and the right LAN is increasingly important in promoting effective communication both within the organisation and with the world at large. Local Area Network Management, Design and Security is a practical and thorough introduction to managing and designing a LAN. It explains the underlying technology and gives a theoretical foundation for the vast technical field of LAN management and design. Practical examples are based on the most common systems (hardware and software) on the market today. This book also gives an overview of such current trends as intranets and provides useful examples to help you develop your own.
