• Chapter 2 introduces Network Time Protocol (NTP), essential for synchronizing clocks across network devices.
• Chapter 3 covers Domain Name System (DNS), a protocol that plays a key role in the internet by translating domain names to IP addresses.
• Chapter 4 focuses on Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), which automates the IP configuration process of hosts like PCs.
• Chapter 5 introduces Secure Shell, a protocol used to securely connect to the CLI of network devices for configuration and management.
• Chapter 6 discusses Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), which is primarily used for monitoring network devices...
