About this title

From the Author

Help move midrange network professionals to the next level
When I've taught vendor-specific network courses, I've always found students that wanted to go to the next level of network design. In my work in the IETF, NANOG, and other advanced industry forums, I've always found that discussions there, not inappropriately, are aimed at exchanging information among experts. In this book, I wanted to help mid-level networking professionals move to the level of network architects, not just people who are better at configuring. Addressing is one of those subjects that the expert designs in great detail, and the less experienced skims over to his or her later dismay. I show how addressing is intimately associated with enterprise requirements, not just "something the network people worry about." When I started writing this book, a valued colleague said "there isn't a full book of material on addressing." When he looked at the outline, however, he realized there was -- and many of the techniques he used daily were not written down. This book is a place where a great deal of hard-earned experience is written down.

Synopsis

PLEASE PROVIDE COURSE INFORMATIONOne of the greatest challenges for a network design professional is making visible the users, server, files, printers, and other resources on a network. It is not possible to just pick a catchy name for the server when designing a network: it involves such issues as IP address assignments, security, traffic management, and well-executed DNS services. This book equips the network engineer or architect with a systematic methodology for planning the wide area network and local area network "streets" on which users and servers live.
