DNS and BIND: Setting Up, Managing and Securing Your DNS Server Training Course
DNS (Domain Name System) acts as the internet’s "phone book," maintaining a directory of computer names alongside their corresponding IP addresses. BIND represents the most widely used Linux implementation of DNS. Whenever you visit a website or exchange email, a DNS server in the background ensures your message reaches its 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 configuration work. As the session progresses, the focus shifts toward more advanced subjects, including security, availability, debugging, and troubleshooting.
Course Format
- A blend of lectures and discussions, emphasizing extensive hands-on practice and implementation, with occasional quizzes to assess progress
