Linux Course » LP003 Linux in a Nutshell : Network Administration

  Course Code:   LP003       
  Duration:  4 Days Pricing :  22,300 Baht (VAT Included)
  Course Description  
 

The course arms students with in-depth knowledge needed to configure common TCP/IP and network services related Linux applications and network configuration. This is intended for those responsible for configuration, support and problem determination. The use of TCP/IP-related applications on Linux is also a topic of this course.


Audience

Network administrators or other personnel responsible for the configuration, use and support of TCP/IP and common network services such as DNS, DHCP, Sendmail and Postfix, HTTP, Proxy, SMB, FTP, NFS, LDAP, NIS and NTP on Linux.


Prerequisites

Linux in a Nutshell : Essentials course (LP001) and Linux in a Nutshell : System Administration course (LP002) or equivalent experience with Linux operating system.


Purpose

The purpose of this course is to teach TCP/IP network configuration and administration including the skills necessary to begin implementing and using static and dynamic routing, DNS, DHCP, Sendmail, Postfix, HTTP, Proxy, SMB, FTP, NFS, LDAP, NIS and NTP service.

Goal

Upon completion of this course, students should be able to:

 
  • Understand the basic concept of TCP/IP protocols and Networking
  • Configure TCP/IP networking on Linux
  • Connect multiple TCP/IP networks using static and dynamic routing
  • Use networking commands for remote login, remote execution and file transfer
  • Understand and implement DNS, DHCP, Sendmail and Postfix, HTTP, Squid proxy, Samba, FTP, NFS, LDAP, NIS and NTP service
  • Perform basic troubleshooting TCP/IP service and network problems
