Learn to be an effective network administrator for Linux(TM). Learn the fundamentals of TCP/IP and Linux networking. Become productive in setting up or running a network that uses Linux systems. Learn how to perform TCP/IP network configuration and administration on Linux systems and how to detect and solve problems in a TCP/IP environment.

Students can choose to perform the lab exercises on either a Red Hat or SUSE platform.

This classroom course is also available in a self-paced virtual class format:

? Linux TCP/IP Administration (self-paced virtual class) (QLXA7)

It is a 30-hour, self-paced course that uses reading assignments, multimedia presentations, interactive real-time chats with an instructor, and quizzes with instructor feedback. The self-paced class enables you to practice the hands-on labs on a remote, live Linux machine. For a full description and special enrollment instructions, search on QLXA7 on our Web site.

After this course, you should complete:

? Linux e-business with Apache (QLX25)
? Linux Integration with Windows (Samba) (QLX26)

or select another Linux course from the Linux roadmaps.
