DNS and BIND: Setting Up, Managing and Securing Your DNS Server Training Course
The Domain Name System (DNS) functions as the internet's directory, translating human-readable computer names into their corresponding IP addresses. BIND serves as the predominant DNS implementation on Linux systems. Whether you are browsing the web or exchanging emails, a DNS server is silently routing your requests to their intended destinations.
In this instructor-led, live training, participants will master the essential aspects of DNS while engaging in practical exercises focused on setting up and configuring a BIND DNS server on Linux. The curriculum begins with a refresher on fundamental networking concepts, followed by hands-on sessions for setup and configuration. As the course progresses, the focus shifts to advanced subjects, including security, availability, debugging, and troubleshooting.
Course Format
- A blend of lectures, discussions, and extensive hands-on practice, complemented by periodic quizzes to assess progress
