How to upgrade and manage your Linux web servers for IPv6

• 4 days • £2860/$3640 • world-wide

You will learn how to:

Plan and manage the migration of your web servers to IPv6
Implement new versions of critical networking software to support IPv6
Configure your Linux Server for networking with IPv6
Upgrade and configure name servers for IPv6 (DNS)
Upgrade and configure the Apache Web Server for IPv6
Implement an IPv6 version of Sendmail.
Obtain and implement IPv6 enabled POP and IMAP daemons
Update and configure other common networking applications, such as telnet, SSH, ping and FTP.

Course Benefits

The implementation of IPv6 is inevitable and will impact on all companies that maintain, implement or use IP networks.

IPv6 is the result of many years of research and activity by the international Internet community. IPv6 provides increased addressing space, improved routing, better security and support for new applications.

Preparing for IPv6 will be crucial for all Internet Service Providers and other companies who run Web-Servers and associated systems.

In this course, you will learn how to obtain and implement IPv6 protocols within your organisation on your Linux servers. You will also be taught how to configure the Apache Web-Server for IPv6 operation.

This course provides extensive hands-on sessions and in-depth technical analysis.

Who should attend?

This course is intended for Linux Web Server administrators.

Prerequisites

A good knowledge of general networking concepts is assumed, including the operation of IPv4. A good working knowledge of Unix or Linux is necessary. It is helpful if the delegate is experienced with configuring and running an IPv4 based Web-Server.
