Sams Teach Yourself TCP/IP in 24 Hours (eBook)

Note: CD-ROM/DVD and other supplementary materials are not included.
This is the eBook version of the printed book.
In just 24 sessions of one hour or less, you'll discover how to implement, monitor, and manage a TCP/IP network-even the latest cloud-based and IPv6 networks. Using this book's straightforward, step-by-step approach, you'll uncover the essentials of TCP/IP and put that knowledge to work through practical examples. Each lesson builds on what you've already learned, giving you a strong real-world foundation for success. Expert author and network engineer Joe Casad guides you from the basics to advanced techniques-including TCP/IP's architecture, layers, subnetting, CIDR, routing, security, utilities, remote access, web services, streaming, and much more.
Practical discussions provide an inside look at TCP/IP components and protocols.
Step-by-step instructions walk you through many common tasks.
Q&As at the end of each hour help you test your knowledge.
Notes and tips point out shortcuts and solutions and help you steer clear of potential problems.
