LINUX Network Administrator's Guide is one of the most useful books I've read so far. This book is, as many other titles from O'Reilly, a must-have for every administrator that wants to learn about Gnu/Linux Networking.
The book begins explaining issues of TCP/IP like IP Addresses, classless Inter-Domain Routing and networks and subnetworks. This introduction shows the basics for the user that does not know much about Networking. Then the book explains Networking issues under Gnu/Linux, its tools and the basic configuration.
The following chapter begins under the title "Configuring TCP/IP Networking", this chapter reveals the /proc pseudo file system secrets and comments how to setup a DHCP server. The explanations are complete and understandable for the new user. However, as the book covers the basics ( like networking introduction and basic setup ) and also harder topics like wireless network and servers it's useful either for the novice or the experienced reader.
The book includes chapters about the most important services and applications available to setup Gnu/Linux Networks. Also it includes brief and useful tips and other brilliant chapters like the one of Wireless Networking.
This book is one of the greatest works of the editorial. This book is also available for download. This edition written by Bautts, Dawson and Purdy, is the printed version of a free book.
An excellent work.
