08 Nov 2005 Welcome to the next step in studying for the Linux®
certification exams. This tutorial series serves as a comprehensive study guide
so you can take the exams with confidence! And even if you're not preparing for
Linux certification at this time, this series helps you build fundamental skills
on Linux systems administration. In this tutorial (the first in a series of seven tutorials to come), David Mertz discusses intermediate network administration on Linux, and in doing so, continues preparing you to take the Linux Professional Institute® Intermediate Level Administration (LPIC-2) Exam 202. In this tutorial, you learn how to configure a basic TCP/IP network, from the hardware layer (usually Ethernet, modem, ISDN, or 802.11) through the routing of network addresses. Higher level servers that may operate on these configured networks are covered in later tutorials.
Proceed through the tutorials in sequence, or choose your topic of interest, from the entire set of Linux certification tutorials on developerWorks.
