Ethernet Networking for the Small Office and Professional Home Office

Introduction to Making the Network Work

As you read in the preface, it’s not enough to simply put hardware in place. You need software on top of it. In particular, you need to be concerned with what you are going to share over the network, how you are going to secure the content of the network, and how you are going to manage both the hardware and software. This part of the book looks at a variety of tools for doing just that.
