TCP/IP Network Administration, 2nd Edition is a complete guide to setting up and running a TCP/IP network for administrators of networks of systems or users of home systems that access the Internet. It starts with the fundamentals: what the protocols do and how they work, how addresses and routing are used to move data through the network, and how to set up your network connection.Beyond basic setup, this new second edition discusses advanced routing protocols (RIPv2, OSPF, and BGP) and the gated software package that implements them. It also provides a tutorial on how to configure important network services, including PPP, SLIP, sendmail, Domain Name Service (DNS), BOOTP and DHCP configuration servers, and some simple setups for NIS and NFS. There are also chapters on troubleshooting and security. In addition, this book is a command and syntax reference for several important packages, including pppd, dip, gated, named, dhcpd, andsendmail.Contents include:

Great networking refresher

Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2019

Verified Purchase

Networks and net infrastructure is often a mystery for developers. The last time I had any formal instruction on networking was back in college and even then I remember the topics were over simplified and didn't feel very helpful. This book was a great way to refresh my understanding of how modern networks actually function. The author does a great job of explaining how IP and TCP were developed, covering the original problems and their solutions, how new problems arose, and how protocols and technologies evolved to handle them. The explanations of different organizations that all come together to be stewards for the internet is really fascinating and puts a lot into perspective.

I did not end up reading cover to cover, as the later sections get very very detailed with specific protocols that aren't that applicable to my day to day life, though if I ever found myself in need of their reference I'd be thankful that I have the book. There also seems to be some sections that are fairly dated, and the amount of effort that goes into explaining how things work on the Solaris OS is not as applicable as it might have been long ago.

Regardless, this book was very worth the money and the time spent to read through the bits that I did. Would recommend to any developer that looks at networking problems with anxiety or fear.

It's old, it's a little dated, but this book will give you a great foundation in Linux/Unix networking. I highly recommend it. I had the CD version when I first started with Linux in high school, and bought the paper copy to replace it. I've been in IT for over 10 years now, and this book taught me most of what I knew when I was starting out in the industry. If you want to get a good solid foundation in wired networking, this book is for you.

Best TCP/IP Book Hands Down!

Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2003

Verified Purchase

As with all of O'Reilly's books, this one is technically accurate and fundamentally sound.
It does not teach TCP/IP from a simplistic approach--telling you only what you need to know and leaving you begging for more. It lays a ground work based upon the actual theory of these protocols and how they were developed and the thinking that was involved in their creation.
From there, it takes you step by step through the layers of the protocols and presents everything that most people would need to know--even more than they would need to know.
Especially enlightening were the chapters on IPv6--the next generation of the IP protocol, and the chapter covering subnetting.
Overall, if you need the one book to explain TCP/IP and the "ins-and-outs" of these networking protocols, look no further.
This book has all you'll need.

Great for power users

Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2015

Verified Purchase

I really liked this book. Like many of the ORilley books, this one is not really geared toward the casual reader. This one is targeted to the power user who really wants to get down into the nuts & bolts of the TCP/IP stack and protocols. It excels in this purpose. This book will remain on my reference shelf for many years as a useful reference.

I could never get my Linux boxes to see each other

Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2012

Verified Purchase

It is all here, how to hook up your Linux computers to each other. I didn't learn it all from here, I also attended the classes, asked questions of the teacher and went to Linux club meetings for ten years. But there are some who can get it all from a book.

Now I can, sometimes, get the boxes to hook up. It takes a while and I have to have the book open, but . . .

Poor quality book - i don't recommend it for network admins.

Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2014

Verified Purchase

I agree with Esteban. This book is not good for network administration. If you are a network administrator and if you are looking for grounded explanations that you can use then don't buy this Book.

This book is packed with useless references: For instance, the reference of RFC, the protocol that was never used like IPV5.

The Book is really difficult to read as well.

There is no ONE example of TCP/IP packet in this book.

There are also subjects that have nothing to do with TCP IP like bind / sendmail. Read the table of content and you will see what i mean.

Not quite what I was expecting but still very useful

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 24, 2014

Verified Purchase

I was hoping for practical examples of how to set up more complex server networking configurations such as multi-homing, bridging, and load-balancing etc. These aren't the focus of this book, which nonetheless covers lots of other useful subject and I am pleased I bought it.

so useless as a teaching aid to me

Bought it without reading the description - didn't realise it was Linux, so useless as a teaching aid to me, but fantastic at propping the corner of the sofa up.

TCP/IPとネットワークサービスの基礎知識

Reviewed in Japan on July 6, 2015

Verified Purchase

仕事がネットワーク中心になったので改めて勉強しようということで本書を買いました。

基礎知識の復習にはなったのですが、かなり厚い書籍で、細かい部分まで書かれており、1ページ目から1ページずつ読んでいくというやり方は向いていないのではないかと思いました。

さらっと読んで概要だけ理解して、あとは必要になったら読むくらいが丁度いい気がします。
