The Practical Network Engineer’s Guide: Master routing, network diagnostics, and troubleshooting by Robert McMillen
Requirements: .PDF reader, 56 MB
Overview: Networks can bring an organization to a standstill when traffic stops flowing, but effective troubleshooting starts with understanding how that traffic should move.
The Practical Network Engineer’s Guide connects essential networking theory with the skills needed to diagnose common connectivity problems. You will begin with networking fundamentals, including the OSI model, IPv4 and IPv6 addressing, subnetting, NAT, and the role of packets in network communication. You will then explore VLANs, static and dynamic routing, switching, and firewalls to understand how traffic moves between devices and networks.
Building on these foundations, the book introduces practical approaches to assessing network problems and identifying their causes. You will examine common TCP/IP, home and corporate wireless, VPN, routing, switching, and firewall issues. You will also learn how Windows command-line utilities, PowerShell, Linux networking commands, routing tools, and Wireshark can support the diagnostic process.
By combining routing fundamentals with realistic troubleshooting scenarios, this book will help you understand network behavior, investigate connectivity failures, and approach everyday network problems with greater confidence.
