COMPTIA NETWORK+ N10-005 IN DEPTH gives you all the skills necessary to pass the CompTIA N10-005 Network+ exam and provides everything you need to know in order to install, configure, and troubleshoot a computer network. This book begins by introducing the fundamental building blocks that form a modern network, such as protocols, topologies, hardware, and network operating systems. It then provides in-depth coverage of the most important concepts in contemporary networking, such as TCP/IP, Ethernet, wireless transmission, and security. New features include a chapter on virtual networking and remote access, as well as a stronger emphasis on security with added coverage on site-to-site and client-to-site security, security threats, and scanning tools.
KEY FEATURES
- Chapter Objectives: Each chapter begins with a list of the concepts to be mastered within that chapter. This list provides you with both a quick reference to the chapter's contents and a useful study aid.
- Illustrations and Tables: Numerous illustrations of network media, methods of signaling, protocol behavior, hardware, topology, software screens, peripherals, and components help you visualize common network elements, theories, and concepts. In addition, the many tables included provide details and comparisons of both practical and theoretical information.
- Chapter Summaries: Each chapter's text is followed by a summary of the concepts introduced in that chapter. These summaries provide a helpful way to recap and revisit the ideas learned.
- Key Terms: Here you'll find the essential terms introduced in the chapter. These are compiled into a glossary at the end of the book that you can reference as a refresher before taking the exam.
