W6   DHCP & DNS   pm program
Greg A. Kulosa, GNAC, Inc.

Who should attend: Anyone who wants to automatically distribute network information to networked Windows clients. Attendees should have a basic knowledge of TCP/IP, typical network set-up, and procedures for installing/working with their operating system.

We will cover the DHCP & DNS protocols, and how these protocols fit into a typical network. We will cover both UNIX and Windows NT servers for DHCP & DNS; for clients mostly cover Windows versions (UNIX clients are similar).

DHCP can be used to distribute IP address, router, DNS, WINS and other information to network clients, without needing to visit each machine and manually configure them. DNS is the Domain Name Service, and is the system by which Internet TCP/IP hosts lookup host addresses and network services.

The following issues will be addressed:

-    DHCP & DNS protocol in-depth.
 
-    Which server platform should be used? UNIX or Windows NT?
 
-    Which DHCP/DNS server should be run? Should you use a commercial solution or will freeware do the job?
 
-    Daily maintenance of DHCP & DNS servers
 
-    Debugging problems when they occur
 
-    How to integrate DHCP info into DNS (And do you really need to?)
 
-    Useful reference materials
 
 


Greg A. Kulosa   is an experienced UNIX Systems Administrator; he is currently a senior consultant solving a myriad of host and networking problems. He has rolled out DHCP to networks with 2 to 1500 (Windows NT/95, Linux, Solaris 2.6) client machines as well as done more DNS BIND installs than he cares to remember.
