So far, we've given you a very brief introduction to Linux networking concepts. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the room to cover everything you need to know, such as how to select appropriate IP addresses, network masks, broadcast addresses, etc. In fact, there's quite a bit more information you'll need to learn in order to prepare for the LPI Level 102 exam.

Fortunately, the topic of Linux networking is one of the most comprehensively documented Linux topics around. In particular, we recommend that you read the Linux Network Administrators Guide, available from Linuxdoc.org's "Guides" section, especially sections 2 through 6. Accompanied with our gentle introduction to Linux networking, the Linux Network Administrators Guide should get you up to speed in no time!
