Loading ...Book Review: Linux Networking Cookbook
Linux networking cookbook is a book for a seasoned Linux network administrator. The book attempts to describe day-to-day networking administration, maintenance and advanced issues commonly faced by us. Book covers wild verity of topics or so called recipes for Linux networking such as:
=> Building Custom Gateways using Soekris 4521 embedded board
=> Linux Firewall
=> Linux based wireless access point
=> Building a VoIP servr with Asterisk
=> Linux Routing
=> Secure remote administration with OpenSSH
=> Setting up VPNs with OpenVPN and PPTP VPN server
=> Linux IPv6 Configurations
=> Single sign-on with Samba for nixed Linux/Windows LANs
=> Setting up centralized network directory with OpenLDAP
=> Network Monitoring with Nagios
=> Network Monitoring with MRTG
=> Setting up Linux Dial up server
=> Setting up central Linux network installation server for on demand os reload and much more
I must say Carla has done an astonishing work to put together Linux networking cookbook.
This is not your Linux networking from scratch guide. Linux networking cookbook is a task-oriented book intended to offer solutions to the daily Linux networking problems and goals the Linux networking admin faces. You may be aware of that Linux networking is a complex subject. So if you need one central reference book along with examples, this book is a must for you. Each small how to (read as recipe) comes with a nice example and sample configuration / commands to carry out a task. I'm sure this book will save your precious time and energy.
