Each of the nine books contained in Networking All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies can stand alone. The first book covers the networking basics you should know to help you understand the rest of the stuff in this book. Of course, if you’ve been managing a network for awhile already, you probably know all this stuff, so you can probably skip Book I or just skim it over quickly of laughs. The remaining books cover a variety of networking topics that you would normally find covered in separate books. Here is a brief description of what you find in each book.
