DNS and BIND: Setting Up, Managing and Securing Your DNS Server Training Course
DNS (domain name system) serves as the internet's 'phone book', maintaining a directory of computer names alongside their corresponding IP addresses. BIND stands as the most prevalent Linux implementation for DNS. Whenever you access a website or send and receive an email, a DNS server quietly routes your communication to its intended destination.
Through this instructor-led live training, participants will master the essential features of DNS while undertaking practical exercises to set up and configure a BIND DNS server on Linux. The course begins with a review of fundamental networking principles, followed by intensive hands-on practice in setup and configuration. Gradually, the focus shifts toward more advanced subjects, including security, availability, debugging, and troubleshooting.
Course Format
- A blend of lectures and discussions, with a strong emphasis on practical implementation, alongside periodic quizzes to track progress
