Overview of this book

Apple is pushing the capabilities of its technologies to help users achieve high performance, including improvements in its OS running across all Mac systems, macOS, and new technologies such as M1 Silicon chips. This book walks you through macOS from a system administration and support point of view, exploring its latest features. The book starts by explaining macOS architecture, installation, and startup processes to enable you to get started with the OS. You'll learn how to manage users and discover techniques for user security and privacy. Moving on, you'll get to grips with the macOS file system and learn to manage disks, volumes, and partitions for effective file management. Most of the examples covered in this book are from an administrator's perspective; however, when relevant, a standard user's perspective is also presented. You'll find illustrations for Mac systems running macOS 11 (Big Sur), and when necessary, for macOS 10.15 (macOS Catalina). Finally, you'll explore advanced topics such as networking and using command-line tools for administration tasks. By the end of this macOS book, you'll be well-versed with macOS features, administration tasks, and best practices. You'll also be able to apply the concepts to increase your chances of success in obtaining Apple certifications such as Apple Certified Support Professional (ACSP).

Summary

Now that you have reached the end of this chapter, you should feel comfortable configuring network connections and services in macOS and using the tools available for that purpose. You have revisited essential networking concepts, such as the OSI model and the TCP/IP model, and how they work to make networking possible. You have also reviewed other important concepts, such as network interfaces and network protocols, as well as which ones are supported by macOS. By now, you can connect to Wi-Fi and other networks, create network locations for specific places and/or restrictions, and configure other network services, such as a VPN network. At the same time, you are able to make advanced changes to the network configuration.

In the next chapter, we will go into network services in greater detail, including how to use the sharing services available in macOS to make your work faster and easier.
