Networking Linux Servers

Learning how to securely network Linux systems

This advanced workshop provides a deeper understanding of networking GNU/Linux systems. It allows participants to expand their knowledge in areas covering local intranet construction and maintenance and allow seamless intercommunication between various platforms.

This workshop also addresses two of the most critical areas relative to wide area networking - security / firewalling and the set-up of a domain name server (DNS) and Bind which enable Internet inter-active programmes such as e-commerce and e-business. This workshop covers many elements included in the Linux Professional Institute's (LPI) Level Two course.
