CS 2964 - Linux Professional Institute Level 2

Designed for students looking to develop skills as network administrators. Topics explored in the class include the setup and maintenance of many of the most popular network services available for Linux and Unix today, including servers for DNS, LDAP, Web (HTTP, HTTPS), FTP, SMB (Windows networking), and email (SMTP, POP3, IMAP). Special attention is paid to the concepts needed to implement these services securely, and to the trouble-shooting skills which will be necessary for real-world administration of network services. It also takes a hands on approach to troubleshooting with a break-fix philosophy, 25% lecture, and 75% lab intensive content. Lab tasks let students choose the type of scenarios they would like to tackle, with hints, helps, and solutions to make learning very effective. Individuals need a solid grounding in UNIX concepts and basic systems admin. Fundamentals such as an understanding of Linux filesystem, process management, and ability to manipulate and edit files are required. Solid knowledge of network concepts, and the TCP/IP protocol suite is also assumed. You may also take this class non-credit by registering for Edtec 513-001 and Edtec 514-001.
