Annotation: 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.

Features of the book include:

  • A practical introduction to the world's most popular network operating systems - Windows 2000, Novell NetWare and Linux.

  • A look at the organisational/ business issues related to LANs and in particular the impact of intranets.

  • Coverage of data communication in networks, including OSI, TCP/IP and LAN standards.

  • A discussion of network operating systems (NOS).

  • A description of design features of LAN infrastructure, hardware and wireless LANs.

  • Security issues with LAN management, including users, backup systems and standards for network administration (SNMP, RMON)
An ideal book for system administrators with responsibility for a LAN or students studying network technology.

Publisher Description:
Local Area Networks (LANs) sind Kabelnetze, die Computer miteinander verbinden. Die LAN-Technik spielt eine immer wichtigere Rolle in modernen Unternehmen. Doch LANs leisten noch mehr: Sie ermöglichen Unternehmen mit verschiedenen geographischen Standorten auch über gro e Entfernungen hinweg die Zusammenarbeit in Teams, gemeinsame Projektarbeit, Intranets, etc. und beeinflussen damit nachhaltig die Art und Weise der Geschäftsabwicklung.
Local Area Networks bietet eine umfassende, detaillierte und praxisorientierte Einführung in diesen dynamischen Bereich des Networking. Behandelt werden die Grundlagen der Datenkommunikation für LANs, LAN Hardware und Software (NetWare, NT, Unix/Linux) sowie Managementaspekte. Ein praktischer Leitfaden für Studenten der Elektrotechnik und Informatik sowie für Systemadministratoren, die ihr Wissen auffrischen wollen.
