This two-day course is designed to cover the essential network administration
tasks confronting today's Sun network systems administrators, and is an
extension to the
Solaris 11 System Administration (Part
1) course which covers all the non-network issues. This course covers
networking from initial connection through basic commands, security,
monitoring and up to Network File System (NFS) and the Network Information
Service (NIS+), with full hands-on experience at all stages. The use of the
Admintool and Adminsuite visual tools is included.
Knowledge of Solaris up to a level taught in the
Introduction to Solaris and
Solaris 11 System
Administration (Part 1) courses is important.
To take trainees who have completed the
Solaris 11
System Administration (Part 1) course and add network administration
knowledge to their portfolio.
