This course also teaches you how to share your files with other servers or workstations using NFS. This course is designed for technically oriented individuals who need to establish and maintain network connectivity of their SCO OpenServer Release 5 operating system with other networks, including the Internet. The target audience includes support technicians, developers, engineers, system administrators, and other technical users who require in-depth knowledge on the installation, configuration, and administration of a UNIX network. Gain a thorough understanding of the UNIX System client/server model of network computing. Learn how to administer a TCP/IP local-area network (LAN) and troubleshoot network problems. Configure SCO TCP/IP software for industry-standard network cards. Enhance TCP/IP LAN performance through software optimization. Configure anonymous FTP, and trusted access. Plan and design NFS file server nodes for TCP/IP LANs in a mixed-vendor environment.   Course Objectives: By the end of the course, students will be able to: Describe the various networking addresses and transmission protocols Configure a network for use with subnets Configure a system for use as a router Configure a system to use the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) Configure TCP/IP network daemons and scripts Configure a system to use Domain Name Server capabilities Configure network mail Configure a system to use Network File Systems (NFS®) Configure a system to use the Network Information System (NIS)   Prerequisites: Students must have mastered the content of the following courses before attending this course: 215 - Fundamentals of UNIX & Linux Systems 241 - SCO OpenServer Release 5 Administration I: User Services 242 - SCO OpenServer Release 5 Administration II: System Installation, Configuration and Maintenance   Course Series: 325 - SCO OpenServer Release 5 Network Administration 610 - Shell Programming for System Administrators Course Topics: TCP/IP concepts Hardware and Software Addressing Netmasks and Broadcast Addresses Address Resolution Protocol Transport Protocols (TCP and UDP) Important System Files Supported Network Interface Cards (NICs) Configuring a Single Network Interface TCP/IP Configuration NIC Attributes Using the Network Configuration Manager Testing TCP/IP Configuring Name Resolution Services Subnetting Planning Subnet Topology Subnet Addresses Netmasks and Broadcast Addresses Routing Configuring SCO as a Router Routing Tables Route Configuration Routing daemons Getting and Interpreting Routing Information WAN Connections Connect LANs to Each Other and to the Internet Configure PPP Interfaces and Associated Support Files Connect to an ISP with PPP Configure Dial-in Services for Remote Access How to Apply for and Register an Internet Address TCP/IP Administration Topics TCP/IP Start-up Configuring Services Started by inetd Dealing with potentially insecure standard network services Configuring Trusted User Access  Domain Name Server (DNS) Configuration DNS Operation Creating a Database of DNS Information Using the Various DNS Record Types in Standard Resource Record (SRR) Format Configuring a Primary, Secondary, and Caching-only Name Server  Configuring DNS Clients Query a Name Server's Database Internet Services Virtual Domains Configuring the Netscape Web Server Configuring FTP (real and anonymous)  Configuring Network Time Protocol (NTP) Servers and Clients Network Security TCP Wrappers Firewall Basics Packet Filtering The Secure Socket Layer Windows Connectivity Windows Connectivity Services File and Print Sharing Installing VisionFS Configuring VisionFS Remote Application Access for Windows TermLite Windows Terminal Emulation Configuring the DHCP service   Call (831) 359-7104 for more info
