Local Area Network Concepts and Products is a set of four reference
books for those looking for conceptual and product-specific
information in the LAN environment. They provide a technical
introduction to the various types of IBM local area network
architectures and product capabilities. The four volumes are as
follows:
SG24-4753-00 - LAN Architecture
SG24-4754-00 - LAN Adapters, Hubs and ATM
SG24-4755-00 - Routers and Gateways
SG24-4756-00 - LAN Operating Systems and Management
These redbooks complement the reference material available for the
products discussed. Much of the information detailed in these books
is available through current redbooks and IBM sales and reference
manuals. It is therefore assumed that the reader will refer to these
sources for more in-depth information if required.
These documents are intended for customers, IBM technical
professionals, services specialists, marketing specialists, and
marketing representatives working in networking and in particular the
local area network environments. Details on installation and
performance of particular products will not be included in these
books, as this information is available from other sources.
Some knowledge of local area networks, as well as an awareness of the
rapidly changing intelligent workstation environment, is assumed.
