Get to grips with the most common as well as complex Linux networking configurations, tools, and services to enhance your professional skills Key FeaturesLearn how to solve critical networking problems using real-world examplesConfigure common networking services step by step in an enterprise environmentDiscover how to build infrastructure with an eye toward defense against common attacksBook Description As Linux continues to gain prominence, there has been a rise in network services being deployed on Linux for cost and flexibility reasons. If you are a networking professional or an infrastructure engineer involved with networks, extensive knowledge of Linux networking is a must. This book will guide you in building a strong foundation of Linux networking concepts. The book begins by covering various major distributions, how to pick the right distro, and basic Linux network configurations. You'll then move on to Linux network diagnostics, setting up a Linux firewall, and using Linux as a host for network services. You'll discover a wide range of network services, why they're important, and how to configure them in an enterprise environment. Finally, as you work with the example builds in this Linux book, you'll learn to configure various services to defend against common attacks. As you advance to the final chapters, you'll be well on your way towards building the underpinnings for an all-Linux datacenter. By the end of this book, you'll be able to not only configure common Linux network services confidently, but also use tried-and-tested methodologies for future Linux installations. What you will learnUse Linux as a troubleshooting and diagnostics platformExplore Linux-based network servicesConfigure a Linux firewall and set it up for network servicesDeploy and configure Domain Name System (DNS) and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) services securelyConfigure Linux for load balancing, authentication, and authorization servicesUse Linux as a logging platform for network monitoringDeploy and configure Intrusion Prevention Services (IPS)Set up Honeypot solutions to detect and foil attacksWho this book is for This book is for IT and Windows professionals and admins looking for guidance in managing Linux-based networks.

A Practical Guide to Advanced Networking, Third Edition takes a pragmatic, hands-on approach to teaching advanced modern networking concepts from the network administrator’s point of view. Thoroughly updated for the latest networking technologies and applications, the book guides you through designing, configuring, and managing campus networks, connecting networks to the Internet, and using the latest networking technologies. The authors first show how to solve key network design challenges, including data flow, selection of network media, IP allocation, subnetting, and configuration of both VLANs and Layer 3 routed networks. Next, they illuminate advanced routing techniques using RIP/RIPv2, OSPF, IS-IS, EIGRP, and other protocols, and show how to address common requirements such as static routing and route redistribution. You’ll find thorough coverage of configuring IP-based network infrastructure, and using powerful WireShark and NetFlow tools to analyze and troubleshoot traffic. A full chapter on security introduces best practices for preventing DoS attacks, configuring access lists, and protecting routers, switches, VPNs, and wireless networks. This book’s coverage also includes IPv6, Linux-based networking, Juniper routers, BGP Internet routing, and Voice over IP (VoIP). Every topic is introduced in clear, easy-to-understand language; key ideas are reinforced with working examples, and hands-on exercises based on powerful network simulation software. Key Pedagogical Features NET-CHALLENGE SIMULATION SOFTWARE provides hands-on experience with advanced router and switch commands, interface configuration, and protocols–now including RIPv2 and IS-IS WIRESHARK NETWORK PROTOCOL ANALYZER TECHNIQUES and EXAMPLES of advanced data traffic analysis throughout PROVEN TOOLS FOR MORE EFFECTIVE LEARNING, including chapter outlines and summaries WORKING EXAMPLES IN EVERY CHAPTER to reinforce key concepts and promote mastery KEY TERMS DEFINITIONS, LISTINGS, and EXTENSIVE GLOSSARY to help you master the language of networking QUESTIONS, PROBLEMS, and CRITICAL THINKING QUESTIONS to help you deepen your understanding CD-ROM includes Net-Challenge Simulation Software and the Wireshark Network Protocol Analyzer Software examples.

This IBM® Redbooks® publication describes important networking concepts and industry standards that are used to support high availability on IBM System z®. Some of the networking standards described here are VLANs, VLAN trunking, link aggregation, virtual switches, VNICs, and load-balancing. We examine the various aspects of network setups and introduce the main Linux on System z networking commands and configuration files. We describe the management of network interface parameters, assignment of addresses to a network interface, and usage of the ifconfig command to configure network interfaces. We provide an overview of connectivity options available on the System z platform. We also describe high availability concepts and building a high availability solution using IBM Tivoli® System Automation. We also provide the implementation steps necessary to build a redundant network connections set up between an IBM z/VM® system and the external network switches using two Open Systems Adapter-Express 3 (OSA-Express 3) adapters with 10 Gb Ethernet ports. We describe the tests performed in our lab environment. The objectives of these tests were to gather information about performance and failover from the perspective of a real scenario, where the concepts of described in this book were applied. This book is focused on information that is practical and useful for readers with experience in network analysis and engineering networks, System z and Linux systems administrators, especially for readers that administer networks in their day-to-day activities. For additional reading: A Technote is availalble that explains changes to using channel bonding interfaces introduced with SLES 11 SP 2.
