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, maintaining a directory that maps computer names to their corresponding IP addresses. BIND is the most widely used Linux implementation of DNS. Whenever you access a website or send and receive an email, a DNS server somewhere in the network ensures your data reaches the correct destination.
In this instructor-led live training, participants will explore the essential features of DNS while engaging in practical exercises to set up and configure a BIND DNS server on Linux. The course begins with a review of fundamental networking principles before moving into hands-on setup and configuration. Gradually, the focus shifts to more advanced topics, including security, high availability, debugging, and troubleshooting.
Format of the Course
- A blend of lectures, discussions, extensive hands-on practice and implementation, along with occasional quizzes to assess progress
