This book is definitive++ when it comes to network adminstration. Gary Donahue covers nearly all aspects of network administration focusing considerable time on the administration of the appliances themselves. Each topic covered starts with the theory behind the topic. This includes diagrams and picture representations that help clarify the topic. Then the chapter moves into more specific explanations concerning real world implementation. Finally actual adminstration is show by display the actual command typed into the routers themselves and the responses recieved from the command. The author also talks about various misconfiguration issues and the consequences that result. The organization is clear throughout as this theme of starting with the general and moving towards very detailed examples is kept for each topic in the book. Network admins will love the attention to detail and the careful coverage of each topic. One of the best chapters is actually an extra one at the end that talks about the behavior and personalities of computer admins in general. This was quite entertaining and in my opinion quite true. The most informative chapter would be difficult to call because so many issues are covered. Personally I was helped by the spanning tree chapter and the multiple chapters covering the VLANs. This book had the clearest explanations I have seen to date. Put this tool in the network toolbox. |
