BLUE RIDGE SUMMIT, PA--Part of Windcrest's Applied Networking Series,
Understanding Network Management: Strategies and Solutions provides PC
network planners and managers with all the hands-on information they need
to design and maintain an efficient, cost-effective network.

After an overview of today's communication systems and the latest trends in
modem, satellite, and microwave technologies, Stan Schatt lists key design
principles and criteria that are crucial to a network's efficiency.
Readers will also find helpful guidelines on network security and disaster
recovery, as well as valuable suggestions for choosing hardware and
software tools used to troubleshoot and repair network problems.

In addition, Understanding Network Management: Strategies and Solutions
contains the latest information on network protocols, such as SNMP,
TCP/IP, OSI, GOSIP, Frame Relay, and ISDN. Other topics covered include
what to look for when purchasing bridges, routers, and gateways, how the
latest wide area network technology (WAN) works, and why these new
technologies are important to WAN managers.

The final section of this practical guide shows how the various pieces of
network management systems developed by IBM, AT&T, and DEC are starting to
come together and what these systems promise to deliver in the future.
