使用無線網(wǎng)絡(luò)是一種獲得解放的、自由的經(jīng)歷。但是在這種經(jīng)歷的背后存在著一個復(fù)雜的協(xié)議，并且當數(shù)據(jù)不只限于在物理線路上傳輸時，甚至?xí)a(chǎn)生一些更為復(fù)雜的問題。怎樣構(gòu)造網(wǎng)絡(luò)才能讓移動用戶活動自如？怎樣擴展無線網(wǎng)絡(luò)才能讓它在任何需要的地方都可用？無線網(wǎng)絡(luò)會產(chǎn)生哪些安全問題？怎樣把無線網(wǎng)絡(luò)調(diào)整到最佳性能？怎樣提供足夠的容量來支持最初希望的用戶？怎樣處理更多的用戶接入網(wǎng)絡(luò)所帶來的各種問題？.《802.11無線網(wǎng)絡(luò)權(quán)威指南》第二版討論了上述所有問題及其他相關(guān)問題。本書主要是為部署或維護無線網(wǎng)絡(luò)的嚴謹?shù)南到y(tǒng)管理員或網(wǎng)絡(luò)管理員編寫的。書中廣泛討論了無線網(wǎng)絡(luò)的安全問題，包括使用WEP標準的安全問題，并討論了動態(tài)WEP和802.1X、802.11i安全標準。由于對于任何嚴謹?shù)木W(wǎng)絡(luò)管理員來說，網(wǎng)絡(luò)監(jiān)視都是一項必須的工作，因此本書有專門的章節(jié)闡述如何使用Ethereal及其他工具進行網(wǎng)絡(luò)分析和排錯。..《802.11無線網(wǎng)絡(luò)權(quán)威指南》同時還介紹了無線網(wǎng)絡(luò)的最新發(fā)展。除了802．11b和11a標準之外，本書同時涵蓋802．11g，并前瞻了正在成為標準的802.11n協(xié)議。這個新的版本擴展了網(wǎng)絡(luò)規(guī)劃架構(gòu)的討論，并特別關(guān)注了訪問點之間的移動性、頻譜管理和功率控制。本書是目前唯一的講述了如何衡量無線網(wǎng)絡(luò)性能及如何調(diào)整網(wǎng)絡(luò)到最佳性能的工具書。最后，《802.11無線網(wǎng)絡(luò)權(quán)威指南》展示了怎樣配置無線網(wǎng)卡和Linux、Windows和MAC OS X系統(tǒng)，以及怎樣處理訪問點。很少有一本書能夠把你需要掌握的理論和完成工作所需要的實際經(jīng)驗和建議有機地結(jié)合在一起?！?02．11無線網(wǎng)絡(luò)權(quán)威指南》就是這樣的一本好書。如果你負責管理無線網(wǎng)絡(luò)，你就需要這本書。Matthew S. Gast是無線網(wǎng)絡(luò)規(guī)劃和部署方面的權(quán)威作者。...
