Ethernet is a core networking technology used by every high tech business. While the basic protocols have changed little, new options such as Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet have increased the complexity of the topic. Written by one of the foremost experts on Ethernet standards and configuration, Charles E Spurgeon, this book includes everything you need to know to set up and maintain an Ethernet network.
The book includes comprehensive coverage of the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standard and its protocols, and describes the kinds of problems network administrators are likely to encounter. It is logically separated into five parts which include an introduction to Ethernet, media systems, how to build an Ethernet system, and performance analysis and troubleshooting. This book is the definitive guide for anyone wanting to build a scalable local area network (LAN) using Ethernet.
