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 links computer names to their corresponding IP addresses. BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Domain) is the most widely used Linux implementation of DNS. Every time you open a website or send and receive an email, a DNS server works behind the scenes to ensure your message reaches the correct recipient.
In this instructor-led live training, participants will gain a deep understanding of DNS's critical features while performing hands-on exercises to set up and configure a BIND DNS server on Linux. The course begins with a review of essential networking principles before moving into practical application. Gradually, the focus shifts to more advanced topics, including security, availability, debugging, and troubleshooting.
Course Format
- A mix of lectures and discussions, featuring extensive hands-on practice and implementation, along with occasional quizzes to track progress.
