This five-day course is designed to cover Solaris network administration in depth and is an extension to our Solaris 10 System Administration (Part 1)Solaris 10 Systems Administration (Part 2) and Solaris Advanced Administration courses. It covers many networking topics, including the TCP/IP model; network topologies, media, interfaces and utilities; ARP and RARP; configuring IP; IPMP (Multipathing); routing; IPV6 (IP version 6); DNS (Domain Name System);  DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol); NTP (Network Time Protocol) and IP Filter Firewall. Additional topics are also covered, including Link Aggregations with dladm, Wireless Network configuratiom, Open Source network utilities, and ISCSI configuration, with full hands-on experience at all stages. This course is comparable with the Sun SA-300-S10 course and leads to the Solaris Certified Network Administrator CX-310-302 exam.
