Course Outline

Course 560B - NetWare 5.1 Administration

Individuals completing this course will be able to accomplish fundamental network management tasks on a NetWare 5.1 network. You'll learn about Novell Directory Services (NDS) and its role in the network, and how you can leverage NDS to make administration easier for you.

Course Objectives

After you have finished this course, you will learn the following:

• Understanding what is IntraNetWare.
• Installing a network with NetWare 5.1 Server.
• Manage user accounts.
• Manage network printing.
• Manage the file system security.
• Creating login scripts.
• Performing remote management of workstations.
• Configuring network applications for users.
• Managing NDS security.
• Managing resources in a multicontext environment.

Course 570A - NetWare 5.1 Advanced Administration

This course provides students with the knowledge and skills they need to design, configure and administer a complex NetWare 5.1 network. Skills learnt includes upgrade from a NetWare 3 environment, migrating to NetWare Distributed Print Services, executing Java-based utilities, network backup and configuring NetWare 5.1 for remote access.

Course Objectives

After you have finished this course, you will learn the following:

• Upgrade a NetWare 3.1x network to a NetWare 5.1 network.
• Upgrade queue-based printing to NetWare Distributed Print Services (NDPS).
• Perform a custom install of NetWare 5.1.
• Plan and set up a network file system.
• Execute console commands, load NetWare Loadable Modules (NLMs), access the server from a remote console, execute Java-based utilities on a NetWare 5.1 server, describe NetWare 5.1 server security strategies.
• Given scenarios, optimise the NetWare server through monitoring server statistics and taking appropriate actions using various server utilities.
• Provide appropriate TCP/IP functionality for client workstations by configuring the NetWare server and client workstations for DNS and DHCP.
• Backup and restore NDS and file system information from a NetWare server using SBACKUP.
• Install and configure a FastTrack Web server on a NetWare server.
• Plan NDS security by considering the impact of default rights assignments, determining NDS administrative roles and choosing the centralised or distributed security model.
• Perform preventative maintenance on the NDS database and troubleshoot synchronization inconsistencies.
• Configure a NetWare 5.1 network for access by remote and travelling users.
• Explain the uses and benefits of other Novell technologies in enhancing network services.
  

Course 565 - Networking Technologies

This course provides students with an excellent foundation upon which to build their network training. It covers the basics of computer networking, including terms and concepts. Networking technology - how it works, and why it works - is made clear in this course, where concepts like contemporary network services, transmission media, and protocols are explained. Students learn how protocols are used in networking implementations from many vendors, especially those most common in today's LANs and WANs.

Course Objectives

After you have finished this course, you will learn the following:

• Why networking protocols are important.
• The layers of the OSI reference model.
• Characteristics & uses of the layers of the OSI reference model.
• Lower layer protocols.
• Ethernet and token ring repeaters.
• The benefits of bridging.
• The use of switching hubs.
• Bridges, switches and routers.
• Register a domain name.
• Assign addresses to hosts.
• The purpose of subnets.
• The purpose of supernets.
• Routing considerations when supernetting.
• TCP/IP protocol.
• Vector routing with IP.
• Describe IPv6.
• IPX and SPX.
  

Course 575 - NDS Design and Implementation

This course teaches network administrators, network designers and networking consultants the skills to create an NDS design and implementation strategy. Students will complete an NDS design strategy and implementation schedule using templates that they can re-use to create a design for their workplaces. Students will then use these strategies and schedules to complete a NetWare implementation in a hands-on environment. The processes taught in this course for creating a solid NetWare design have been proven in use with Novell Consulting Services.

Course Objectives

After you have finished this course, you will learn the following:

• Identify critical factors and expectations for designing a NetWare network.
• Document current network configurations.
• Determine pre-optimization and clean-up strategies for implementation.
• Determine the Directory tree structure and object placement.
• Create a time synchronization strategy.
• Determine a strategy for login scripts, groups, and security needs.
• Create an implementation strategy.
• Using schedules and plans, implement a NetWare network.

Course 580 - Service and Implementation

This course focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and resolution of hardware-related problems network professionals encounter while working with the network. Though the course focuses on hardware issues in relation to NetWare, students learn practical skills in this course that will help them optimise hardware resources for networking products. The course shows students how to solve "real world" hardware problems, and includes extensive hands-on exercises (nearly 60% of all class time). The course materials are designed to provide a continuing reference that will be useful back at the student's workplace.

Course Objectives

After you have finished this course, you will learn the following:

• Solve real-world problems through a systematic troubleshooting process.
• Use electronic research tools to gather information used to troubleshoot.
• Install & troubleshoot network boards & cables for Ethernet & token ring networks.
• Install & troubleshoot network storage drives.
• Prevent, diagnose and resolve problems with Windows workstations.
• Diagnose and resolve network printing problems.
• Diagnose and resolve problems with the server and network.
  

Elective - IntraNetWare - Integrating with Windows NT

This course is designed for IT professionals who administer multivendor enterprise networks. Learn how to integrate a Windows NT environment with an IntraNetWare Environment.

Course Objectives

After you have finished this course, you will learn the following:

• Streamline NT administration by using Novell Directory Services and the NetWare Administrator.
• Experience with Novell Administrator for Windows NT and other Novell products for administering and managing NT workstations, NT servers, and network-based applications in a mixed IntraNetWare and Windows NT environment.
• Operation and management of NT workstations and NT servers.
• Administration of Windows NT in an IntraNetWare environment.
