Limoncelli and Hogan, The Practice of System and Network Administration, Addison Wesley, 2001. |
| Important Reference: | There are a large variety of books that focus on particular network and server operating systems such as some variant of UNIX or Windows. I might have also chosen from a selection of books that focus on SNMP - Simple Network Management Protocol. I didn't choose any of these for this course due to their narrower focus. But if you have a narrower focus there are a lot more options. |
|
Evaluation: |
Grades will be based on two projects.
|
| Background: |
This course assumes you have some basic background in computer networking. |
| Description: |
This course will
focus on the administration of networks, servers and services. We will try to take a broad
yet practical view and consider a large variety of issues as shown in the
list of weekly topics. We are also likely to try and make our hands
on experience with both Windows and Linux systems. We are likely to cover about three chapters out of the Limoncelli book each week in lectures. |
