Solaris 10 Network
Administration
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) and Solaris 10 Systems
Administration
(Part 2) courses. It covers many networking topics, including the
TCP/IP model; network topologies, media, interfaces and utilities; ARP
and RARP; configuring IP; IPMP (Multipathing); network aggregations,
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, plus notes on NIS and LDAP, and 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.
