CNSA 266: Systems Administration II                      (3 Credits)

The second systems administration course in the CNSA curriculum prepares students to manage and perform administrative tasks for network servers that are configured with the predominant non-Windows operating system in the computer industry at the time of the course offering.  At this particular time, the course will continue with an in-depth examination of the Linux operating system that began in CNSA 256 (Operating Systems II), focusing on advanced system maintenance and administration functions that are required of Linux system managers in an enterprise environment.  Students will explore topics that include system initialization, configuration of the X Windows system, the management of Linux system processes, Linux system administration tasks, and troubleshooting and performance.  The integration of Linux systems into a hybrid network enterprise will also be included.  Students will manage their own Linux servers in a practical hands-on approach to learning.
