DNS and BIND: Setting Up, Managing and Securing Your DNS Server Training Course
DNS (domain name system) serves as the internet's "phone book", mapping computer names to their IP addresses. BIND is the most widely used Linux implementation of DNS. Whenever you visit a website or send or receive an email, a DNS server in the background ensures your request reaches the correct destination.
In this instructor-led live training, participants will explore the essential features of DNS while practicing the setup and configuration of a BIND DNS server on Linux. The course begins with a review of core networking concepts, followed by practical exercises in setup and configuration. As the training progresses, the focus shifts to more advanced topics including security, availability, debugging, and troubleshooting.
Format of the Course
- A blend of lectures and discussions, with a strong emphasis on hands-on practice and implementation, along with occasional quizzes to track progress
