SA-399 Topics
Solaris Network Administration for Solaris 9
The Network Administration for the Solaris Operating Environment course provides
students with the knowledge and skills necessary to perform network administration
tasks such as configuration and troubleshooting of a Local Area Network (LAN). This
course also provides hands-on experience with topics such as Internet Protocol (IP)
routing, Domain Name Service (DNS), Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP),
and IP version 6 (IPv6).
Notes:
- This is a Spartan WHYFF (We Help
You For Free) site written by people for whom English
is not a native language.
Some amount of grammar and spelling errors should be
expected.
- The site contain some broken links
as it develops like a living tree...
Please try to use Google, Open directory,
etc. to find a replacement link (see
HOWTO search the WEB for details). We would appreciate
if you can
mail us a correct link.

[Jan 26, 2006] The differences between Solaris 9 and Solaris 10
network administration courses are minimal. That actually means that even
Solaris 8 students guides are OK for preparation.
- Trunking was deleted from "Module 6 - Configure multipathing and trunking".
- "Configure DHCP server to support jumpstart clients" topic was deleted from
"Module 11 - Configure DHCP"
