Solaris 10 Systems Administration Part 2 -
Networking Administration Essentials
This two-day course is designed to cover the
essential network administration tasks confronting today's Sun network
systems administrators, and is an extension to our Solaris 10 System Administration (Part 1) course
which covers all the non-network issues.This course covers networking
from initial connection through basic commands, security, monitoring
and
up to Network File System (NFS) and the Network Information Service
(NIS), with full hands-on experience at all stages. The use of the
Solaris Management Console tool is included. This course, combined
with the Solaris 10 Advanced
Administration course, is comparable with the Sun SA-202-S10 (now
PK-SA-202A-S10) course
and leads to the Solaris Certified Administrator (Part 2) exam.
Compared
by price, our combined courses are 41% less than Sun's. A further Solaris Network Administration course is also
avaiulable for those requiring training to Solaris Certified Network
Administrator level.
Our Solaris courses are suitable training
for Solaris Certification
