DNS and BIND: Setting Up, Managing and Securing Your DNS Server Training Course
The Domain Name System (DNS) serves as the internet’s "phone book," offering a directory that maps 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 an email, a DNS server is working behind the scenes to direct your request to the correct destination.
Through this instructor-led live training, participants will gain a deep understanding of DNS’s essential features while actively practicing the setup and configuration of a BIND DNS server on Linux. The course begins with a review of fundamental networking concepts before moving into practical exercises focused on installation and configuration. As the training progresses, the focus shifts toward more advanced subjects, including security, high availability, debugging, and troubleshooting.
Course Format
- A blend of lectures and discussions, emphasizing extensive hands-on practice and implementation, with periodic quizzes to assess progress
