Within the chapters we’ve tried to make the material accessible and readable. You’ll find descriptive passages, theoretical explanations, and step-by-step examples. We’ve also included a generous number of graphics that make it easy to follow the written instructions. The following reader’s aids are common to all books in the Administrator’s Companion series.
Note | Notes generally represent some information that needs to be highlighted or alternate ways to perform a task. |
Tip | Methods of performing tasks more quickly or in a not-so-obvious manner will show up as Tips. |
More Info | References to other books and sources of information are offered throughout the book. |
Caution | Don’t skip over these boxes because they contain important warnings about the subject at hand—often critical information about the safety of your system. |
Planning | As we stress throughout the book, proper planning is fundamental to the smooth operation of any network. These boxes contain specific and useful hints to make that process go smoothly. |
Everyone benefits from the experiences of others. Real World sidebars contain elaboration on a particular theme or provide background based on the adventures of IT professionals just like you.
