This book is the foundation of a course that is structured around concepts and practical knowledge fundamental to this topic area.  In doing so, it also addresses the tasks that are covered in the objectives for the Comp TIA Network+ exam. 

Along with the textbook and lab manual, students get a Student CD-ROM containing study aids, an electronic version of the textbook, an eBook of the Microsoft Encyclopedia of Networking, Second Edition, and Microsoft PowerPoint slides based on textbook chapters, to assist with note-taking.

An Instructor CD-ROM containing a complete set of instructor support materials—including lecture outlines, teaching tips, PowerPoint® slides, a test bank, and detailed lab set-up instructions—is also available.

In conjunction with A+, Network+ may be used as a substitute for your MCSA program's elective course requirement.
