Networking for Systems Administrators
- Share to:
By server I mean a computer, running an operating system, whose main task is providing services to other servers or users, rather than supporting the network. A sysadmin is someone responsible for managing such devices.
Some network administrators build routers, firewalls, proxy servers, intrusion detection devices, and more out of carefully selected server hardware. When this book says server, I’m explicitly excluding such custom-built devices. Elsewhere I say that a server should never do X, but if you’ve built a device whose purpose is doing exactly that, it’s an exception.
When I mention a router or proxy server or any number of other network devices, I mean a device that fills that role. It doesn’t matter if it’s a black box solution or something built out of commodity hardware. The network administrator is the person who manages that equipment.
