Networking for Systems Administrators (IT Mastery)
Stop waiting for the network team!Â
If basic TCP/IP was hard, network administrators couldn't do it. Servers give sysadmins a incredible visibility into the network--once they know how to unlock it.Â
Most sysadmins don't need to understand window scaling, or the differences between IPv4 and IPv6 echo requests, or other intricacies of the TCP/IP protocols. You need only enough to deploy your own applications and get easy support from the network team.
This book teaches you:Â
How modern networks really workÂ
The essentials of TCP/IPÂ
The next-generation protocol, IPv6Â
The right tools to diagnose network problems, and how to use themÂ
Troubleshooting everything from the physical wire to DNSÂ
How to see the traffic you send and receiveÂ
Connectivity testingÂ
How to communicate with your network team to quickly resolve problemsÂ
A systems administrator doesn't need to know the innards of TCP/IP, but knowing enough to diagnose your own network issues transforms a good sysadmin into a great one.
