Complete coverage of the exam objectives—by the technical lead for the certification exam development team! The only exam prep book endorsed by Sun Educational Services, this study guide focuses on the basic knowledge and skills network administrators need to solve real- world problems. Network expert Rick Bushnell presents a comprehensive review of the essential concepts covered in the Network Administrator exam. He assumes you have a working knowledge of Solaris 7 or 8, but that you need to supplement your understanding of Solaris Network Administration, TCP/IP, and related protocols. Each of the official exam objectives is reviewed to provide an understanding of the underlying technologies and to enhance your knowledge of network administration and TCP/IP. The fundamental approach is to reinforce your understanding of key network administration skills and then test your understanding with review questions that will prepare you for the real exam.

Key topics covered include:
• Network Models
• Ethernet Interface
• ARP and RARP
• The IP Protocol
• Routing over TCP/IP
• The Transport Layer Protocols (TCP/UDP)
• The Client/Server Model
