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 by maintaining a directory that links computer names to their corresponding IP addresses. BIND is the most widely used Linux implementation for DNS. Every time you access a website or send and receive emails, a DNS server works behind the scenes to route your communication to the correct recipient.
Through this instructor-led live training, participants will master the essential features of DNS while performing practical exercises to set up and configure a BIND DNS server on Linux. The curriculum begins with a review of fundamental networking concepts before progressing into hands-on setup and configuration activities. As the course advances, the focus shifts to more complex areas, including security, availability, debugging, and troubleshooting.
Course Format
- A combination of lectures and discussions, emphasizing extensive hands-on practice and implementation, along with periodic quizzes to assess progress
