Linux Network Administration - Course introduction

Lesson 1

Linux/UNIX Network Administration Course

Linux Network Administration I.

This course expands on basic UNIX system administration by covering the fundamentals of UNIX network administration.
Furthermore, the course focuses on

TCP/IP networking under UNIX,
network monitoring, and
debugging.

Versions of UNIX covered

The course also covers the variations between the Solaris, Linux, AIX, and HP-UX operating systems.
The examples and exercises, however, focus on using a Linux or a Solaris system.
In cases where the commands or procedures vary significantly between Linux and Solaris, two versions of examples and exercises are offered.
one for Linux and the other for Solaris.

Course goals

After completing the course, you will be able to:

Describe in general terms the different layers in the TCP/IP protocol
Understand the rules governing IP address classes and netmasks
Configure the resolver library to arrange for TCP/IP name service
Bring interfaces up and down, and set their IP addresses and netmasks
Set the default route in the kernel routing table
Describe the difference between TCP and UDP services
Understand the significance of the /etc/services file and well-known port numbers
Configure the inet daemon, which controls many Internet services
Briefly describe many common services, and use telnet to contact servers directly
Use the ping command to test network connectivity
Use the netstat command to examine kernel tables pertaining to networking
Use the traceroute command to discover network paths
Use tcpdump to examine all network traffic
