MCSE Networking Essentials Study Guide (Exam 70-58)

The authors have organized their book around Microsoft's outline of exam objectives. Early chapters explain what computer networks are and why they're useful to organizations; intermediate chapters explain the OSI network model, topologies, protocols, and network operating systems. The book then progresses into cabling, network interface cards, hubs and repeaters, wide area networks, security, and network management. The coverage provided here is complete and touches on everything in the Microsoft statement of what's on the test. An excellent companion CD-ROM includes a searchable version of the book's text as well as some great test-simulator software.
