Ethernet Networks

Ethernet Networks, Fourth Edition, provides everything you need to
know to plan, implement, manage and upgrade Ethernet
networks.

• Improve your skills in employing Ethernet hubs, switches, and
  routers.

• Learn how to set up and operate a wireless Local Area Network
  (LAN).

• Discover how to extend a wired Ethernet via wireless LANs.

• Understand cabling standards and the role of NEXT (Near End
  Crosstalk), FEXT (Far End Crosstalk) and other transmission
  parameters.

• Profit from Gilbert Held's tips and tricks on enhancing
  security

... and much more.

This indispensable resource features up-to-date coverage of:

• Wireless Ethernet (IEEE802.11 standards)

• 10Gbps Ethernet

• Firewalls in both a wired and wireless environment

• The operation of new versions of Windows(r) on Ethernet
  LANs

• The use of LAN switches at and above layer 2 in the ISO reference
  model

• Copper and fiber optic cable to transport high speed
  Ethernet

Network planners, administrators, and system engineers working with
Ethernet networks will find Ethernet Networks, Fourth Edition, an
invaluable tool for implementing, updating, and managing their
networks.
