Resource for understanding a network
What would be a good hands-on resource for understanding the details of a network: cables, PoE, submask, MAC, NAT, port forwarding. That is, all common used hardware and the settings someone finds in the admin interface of a router. It could be offline and paid, like literature for some certification program.

 * One good resource for understanding the details of a network is the CompTIA Network+ certification program. The certification covers a wide range of networking topics, including cables, Power over Ethernet (PoE), subnet masks, MAC addresses, Network Address Translation (NAT), and port forwarding.

 * More information on the CompTIA Network+ certification program is available at: Network Plus Certification and  Computer Networks.
 * Some of the other books on the Wikibooks:Category:Shelf:IT certifications may also be relevant. --DavidCary (talk) 19:44, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
