DNS and BIND: Setting Up, Managing and Securing Your DNS Server Training Course
The Domain Name System (DNS) serves as the internet’s "phone book," maintaining a directory of computer names alongside their corresponding IP addresses. BIND stands as the most widely adopted Linux implementation for DNS. Whenever you access a website or send and receive email, a DNS server in the background ensures your data reaches the correct recipient.
Through this instructor-led live training, attendees will master the essential features of DNS while engaging in practical exercises to set up and configure a BIND DNS server on Linux. The program begins with a review of fundamental networking concepts, followed by intensive hands-on training in installation and configuration. As the course progresses, focus shifts to more advanced subjects, including security, high availability, debugging, and troubleshooting.
Format of the Course
- A blend of lectures, interactive discussions, extensive hands-on practice and implementation, along with periodic quizzes to assess progress
