The administrator's guide to understanding Linux routing systems and techniques, written by authors with vast experience in implementing network solutions in a variety of operating systems and hardware arenas. The book provides comprehensive, coverage of routing solutions readers can set up on a Linux box, not just a look at what Cisco routers can do.
Will show readers how to work with Cisco IOS 12.x rated routers, or to build a stand alone Linux router .17 - 21% of network servers are currently running Linux, and the Linux share of the market continues to grow. The Linux kernel is the only OS that supports policy routing except for certain versions of Cisco IOS 12.x. Covers policy routing under IPv4 and IPv6. Policy Routing on Linux is an advanced book covering all critical aspects of Linux Policy Routing from the authors extensive experience. It provides documentation and best practice usage for implementing policy routing under Linux with references and comparisons to Cisco IOS policy routing. Readers of this book will be able to: Understand the theory and basic concepts of policy routing; design and install a policy-routed network under IPv4 on a Linux based network using the IP utility for Linux; differentiate between and integrate policy routing structures and dynamic routing protocols; analyse and tune complex policy routed networks on Linux and possibly Cisco networks; and understand the role of policy routing structures and implementations within the Linux IPv6 network stack.
This soup-to-nuts collection of recipes covers everything you need to know to perform your job as a Linux network administrator, whether you're new to the job or have years of experience. With Linux Networking Cookbook, you'll dive straight into the gnarly hands-on work of building and maintaining a computer network. Running a network doesn't mean you have all the answers. Networking is a complex subject with reams of reference material that's difficult to keep straight, much less remember. If you want a book that lays out the steps for specific tasks, that clearly explains the commands and configurations, and does not tax your patience with endless ramblings and meanderings into theory and obscure RFCs, this is the book for you. You will find recipes for: Building a gateway, firewall, and wireless access point on a Linux network Building a VoIP server with Asterisk Secure remote administration with SSH Building secure VPNs with OpenVPN, and a Linux PPTP VPN server Single sign-on with Samba for mixed Linux/Windows LANs Centralized network directory with OpenLDAP Network monitoring with Nagios or MRTG Getting acquainted with IPv6 Setting up hands-free networks installations of new systems Linux system administration via serial console And a lot more. Each recipe includes a clear, hands-on solution with tested code, plus a discussion on why it works. When you need to solve a network problem without delay, and don't have the time or patience to comb through reference books or the Web for answers, Linux Networking Cookbook gives you exactly what you need.
Benvenuti describes the relationship between the Internet's TCP/IP implementation and the Linux Kernel so that programmers and advanced administrators can modify and fine-tune their network environment.

Learn the pros and the cons of the most frequently used distros in order to find the one that is right for you. You will explore each distro step by step, so that you don't have to endure hours of web surfing, countless downloads, becoming confused by new concepts and, in the worst cases, reading complex and marathon installation guides. You will benefit from the author's long-term experience working with each distro hands on, enabling you to choose the best distro for your long-term needs. The first barrier that a new Linux user has to face is the overwhelming number of "flavors" that this operating system has. These "flavors" are commonly known as distros (from distribution), and to date there are more than three hundred active distros to choose from. So, how to choose one? You can choose the most popular at the moment, or take heed of what your friend says, but are you sure that this is the one that you need? Making the wrong decision on this matter is behind a good number of disappointments with this operating system. You need to choose the distro that is right for you and your needs. Linux offers us a wonderful open source alternative to proprietary software. With Introducing Linux Distros you can decide how to best make it work for you. Start exploring the open source world today. What You'll learn Review what a Linux distro is and which one to select Decide which criteria to follow to make a right decision Examine the most used Linux distros and their unique philosophies install and maintain different Linux distros Who This Book Is For Newcomers to the Linux world that have to deal with the myriad of distributions.
