⬐ OminousWeaponsThis is my favorite networking book but I think it would be overkill for OP's needs. TCP/IP illustrated walks through basically every protocol in depth starting from layer 2 and it sounds like OP really just wants to understand the basics of network administration like what you would see in a CCNA exam, and even that might be excessive for their needs.⬐ OminousWeaponsTCP/IP Illustrated is the GOAT networking book but I think it would be really overkill and way too low level for OP's needs.⬐ netfortiusI was waiting for someone to post this.⬐ joethrow29292This, and any book by W. Richard Stevens. I also cut my teeth on Internetworking with TCP/IP by Comer. https://www.amazon.com/Internetworking-TCP-IP-One-6th/dp/013...

Ask HN: Fundamental texts for serious web engineers?
Off the top of my head, an understanding of internet architecture is probably a fundamental thing to have. IP, TCP, HTTP, DNS, etc.http://www.amazon.com/TCP-Illustrated-Vol-Addison-Wesley-Pro...
⬐ anttipoi+1 to this. No matter what you end up doing in your career, having a good idea about what's going on the wire is never wasted.⬐ skunkworksLink to the 2nd Edition version of this book:http://www.amazon.com/TCP-Illustrated-Protocols-Addison-Wesl...
(Didn't even realize it had been updated until I checked!)
⬐ skunkworksBTW, if you decide you want the Kindle version, there's a $10 promo code. I'm not sure if you need to be signed up to Amazon Student for this, so YMMV:⬐ BadassFractalWorked for me, thanks!
