DNS and BIND: Setting Up, Managing and Securing Your DNS Server Training Course
DNS (Domain Name System) serves as the "phone book" of the internet, providing a directory of computer names and their IP addresses. BIND is the most common Linux implementation of DNS. When you open a website or send and receive an email, a DNS server somewhere is quietly addressing your message to its intended recipient.
In this instructor-led, live training, participants will learn the critical features of DNS while carrying out exercises in the setup and configuration of a BIND DNS server on Linux. The course begins with a refresher on key networking principles, then delves into hands-on practice with setup and configuration. Gradually, the discussion and practices move towards more complex topics such as security, availability, debugging, and troubleshooting.
Format of the Course
- Part lecture, part discussion, heavy hands-on practice and implementation, occasional quizing to measure progress
This training is designed to enhance the technical capabilities of IT professionals for government, ensuring they are well-equipped to manage DNS services effectively within public sector environments.
This course is available as onsite live training in US Government or online live training.Course Outline
