Pick up where certification exams leave off. With this practical, in-depth guide to the entire network infrastructure, youâ ll learn how to deal with real Cisco networks, rather than the hypothetical situations presented on exams like the CCNA. Network Warrior takes you step by step through the world of routers, switches, firewalls, and other technologies based on the author's extensive field experience. You'll find new content for MPLS, IPv6, VoIP, and wireless in this completely revised second edition, along with examples of Cisco Nexus 5000 and 7000 switches throughout.

Topics include:

• An in-depth view of routers and routing
• Switching, using Cisco Catalyst and Nexus switches as examples
• SOHO VoIP and SOHO wireless access point design and configuration
• Introduction to IPv6 with configuration examples
• Telecom technologies in the data-networking world, including T1, DS3, frame relay, and MPLS

This soup-to-nuts collection of recipes covers everything you need to know to perform your job as a Linux network administrator, whether you're new to the job or have years of experience. With Linux Networking Cookbook, you'll dive straight into the gnarly hands-on work of building and maintaining a computer network.

Running a network doesn't mean you have all the answers. Networking is a complex subject with reams of reference material that's difficult to keep straight, much less remember. If you want a book that lays out the steps for specific tasks, that clearly explains the commands and configurations, and does not tax your patience with endless ramblings and meanderings into theory and obscure RFCs, this is the book for you.

You will find recipes for:

• Building a gateway, firewall, and wireless access point on a Linux network
• Building a VoIP server with Asterisk
• Secure remote administration with SSH
• Building secure VPNs with OpenVPN, and a Linux PPTP VPN server
• Single sign-on with Samba for mixed Linux/Windows LANs
• Centralized network directory with OpenLDAP
• Network monitoring with Nagios or MRTG
• Getting acquainted with IPv6
• Setting up hands-free networks installations of new systems
• Linux system administration via serial console

And a lot more. Each recipe includes a clear, hands-on solution with tested code, plus a discussion on why it works. When you need to solve a network problem without delay, and don't have the time or patience to comb through reference books or the Web for answers, Linux Networking Cookbook gives you exactly what you need.

As we all know by now, wireless networks offer many advantages over fixed (or wired) networks. Foremost on that list is mobility, since going wireless frees you from the tether of an Ethernet cable at a desk. But that's just the tip of the cable-free iceberg. Wireless networks are also more flexible, faster and easier for you to use, and more affordable to deploy and maintain. The de facto standard for wireless networking is the 802.11 protocol, which includes Wi-Fi (the wireless standard known as 802.11b) and its faster cousin, 802.11g. With easy-to-install 802.11 network hardware available everywhere you turn, the choice seems simple, and many people dive into wireless computing with less thought and planning than they'd give to a wired network. But it's wise to be familiar with both the capabilities and risks associated with the 802.11 protocols. And 802.11 Wireless Networks: The Definitive Guide, 2nd Edition is the perfect place to start. This updated edition covers everything you'll ever need to know about wireless technology. Designed with the system administrator or serious home user in mind, it's a no-nonsense guide for setting up 802.11 on Windows and Linux. Among the wide range of topics covered are discussions on:

• deployment considerations
• network monitoring and performance tuning
• wireless security issues
• how to use and select access points
• network monitoring essentials
• wireless card configuration
• security issues unique to wireless networks

With wireless technology, the advantages to its users are indeed plentiful. Companies no longer have to deal with the hassle and expense of wiring buildings, and households with several computers can avoid fights over who's online. And now, with 802.11 Wireless Networks: The Definitive Guide, 2nd Edition, you can integrate wireless technology into your current infrastructure with the utmost confidence.

From the author - Years ago when I downloaded my first copy of the RouterOS software, it didn t take long to realize the power I had at my fingertips and quickly learned to appreciate the numerous features this routing system performs to wow my clients. Unfortunately, the gap between the documentation and actually solving problems with this powerful tool was wide, and I saw a need for a complete, example oriented, textbook type guide. I have always been a hands on type of guy. I learn by doing and I teach through examples and have attempted to do that in this book. If you too want answers and are ready to enhance your solutions tool box, then you have picked a winner with MikroTik and RouterOS. This book is a second edition, but not just an update. It became necessary because a few things have changed in RouterOS since the first edition and so the book has been edited to include those changes. In addition, more tips and tricks are shared in this second edition.

Comprehensive information on Wireless Communication Technologies with focus on Bluetooth and 802.11 WiFi.

'Wireless Technologies: An introduction to Bluetooth and WiFi' starts from the ground up for a new user and does a gradual progression into the technical details around wireless communications. There is also a deep dive into two of the most widespread wireless technologies - Bluetooth and 802.11 WiFi. The latest update adds information about Bluetooth Low Energy and Wimax Networks.

Introduction

A wireless network is a flexible data communications system, which uses wireless media such as radio frequency technology to transmit and receive data over the air, minimizing the need for wired connections. Wireless networks are used to augment rather than replace wired networks and are most commonly used to provide last few stages of connectivity between a mobile user and a wired network.

Wireless networks use electromagnetic waves to communicate information from one point to another without relying on any physical connection. Radio waves are often referred to as radio carriers because they simply perform the function of delivering energy to a remote receiver. The data being transmitted is superimposed on the radio carrier so that it can be accurately extracted at the receiving end. Once data is superimposed (modulated) onto the radio carrier, the radio signal occupies more than a single frequency, since the frequency or bit rate of the modulating information adds to the carrier.

Bluetooth and WiFi have dramatically altered how people use devices to connect and communicate in everyday life. Bluetooth is a low-power, short-range technology for ad hoc cable replacement; it enables people to wirelessly combine devices wherever they bring them.

Conversely, WiFi is a moderate-range, moderate-speed technology based on Ethernet; it allows people to wirelessly access an organizational network throughout a campus location. Although the technologies share the 2.4 GHz band, potentially overlapping applications, and have been pitted against each other in the press, they do not compete and can even been successfully combined for corporate use.

What is inside
