• Duration: Half day
• Session times: 9:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. (deliverable hours = 2.0)

**Starting times vary; check course schedule for exact times.

A new disk quota system has been implemented in the kinetic service that will make it easier for subscribers to control their disk usage. Pricing for the kinetic e-mail and web hosting service is based on current disk usage, but there have been no mechanisms in place to directly limit usage. This system will allow an organization to better track how much disk space is being used and control costs from year to year.

Local administrators will have the ability to grant specific amounts of the disk space purchased to individual e-mail accounts and web space as needed, so long as the total disk usage remains under the purchased amount.

This two hour hands-on session will allow current kinetic local administrators to learn about the new disk quota system and practice using its features. This course is recommended only for current kinetic administrators. If you are totally new to kinetic administration, please register for the all day kinetic class.

Objectives

Given instructions, resources, access to the kinetic Manager and account information, participants will demonstrate their ability to administer the disk quota functions of the e-mail and web services by error-free performance of the following tasks during their sessions:

• Manage e-mail disk quota by group
• Manage e-mail disk quota by account

The maximum attendance allowed for this classroom is 12. The minimum attendance required to hold the class is four.

How it works:

When participants arrive, they are assigned their own workstation. Prior to starting a course, a pre-assessment is given to the student to determine their specific training needs. From there, training is done at a comfortable pace for each individual using a comprehensive approach to reinforce learning. This proven process features one-on-one instructor coaching, multimedia online courses, and authorized vendor courseware to ensure proper skill development.

Additionally, with Mentored Learning participants have their own networked environments, which enable Instructors to manage hands-on lab exercises that mirror the professional environment. After each course, a post-assessment is completed to help gauge return on investment and productivity enhancements.

Internet2 IPv6 Workshop  

- A fee is required for this course. Please contact MOREnet Training at training@more.net for current fee information.

• Duration: 3.0 days
• Session times:
  First day:   1:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.
  Other days:   9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. (deliverable hours = 14.0)

Purpose

Over the course of this workshop, students will design and set up a functioning IPv6 network. This network will be connected to the Internet2 IPv6 network, and thus to the rest of the global IPv6 network. Students will have both external and internal routing configured. Using IPv6 transition tools, students will also gateway between the workshop IPv6 network and the global IPv4 internet.

It is the expectation of Internet2 that, after having experienced one workshop as a student, an attendee will be able to engineer IPv6 networks within his/her campus or gigaPoP, to explain IPv6 engineering concepts to peers, and, in some cases, to help teach or facilitate future IPv6 workshops.

Workshop Content

In detail, the topics covered at this workshop are:

• Router Configuration: How do you turn on IPv6 routing on a router?
• BGP Configuration: Students will configure BGP sessions between the campus, gigaPoP, and core routers.
• Addressing: We will discuss how addressing works, what types of addressing schemes are possible given the number of addresses available, how allocations are made, and current best practices.
• Bind configuration: DNS is extremely important in IPv6. We will address how to populate a server with AAAA records, and how to configure it to perform both forward and reverse lookups. We will discuss best practices, bind versions required, and potential pitfalls.
• Application Space: We will have some students set up IPv6-aware servers, including HTTP and Mail. By the end of the session, we expect to be able to send and receive mail, telnet or ssh and use web access over IPv6 transport.
• Transition Issues: How do you make your IPv6 network IPv4-aware and vice versa? How extensively can you do dual stack implementations and where do you need to do translation?
• Discussion Issues: There are several aspects of IPv6 that we will take some time to discuss. Among them are the effects of multihoming, how auto-configuration affects network administrators and network management.
• Services: What IPv6 services should a campus or gigapop currently offer? What are the best known practices for distributing IPv6 throughout a campus or state network?

For a full description of the course visit the Internet2 IPv6 Workshop web page.

Registration

Registration is required through the Internet2 Workshop page. The discounted price for this class is $650.

A laptop is required--you must bring your equipment with you. Students are asked to bring a laptop capable of running an IPv6 stack. We prefer that these stacks be installed prior to the workshop, but help will be available at the workshop if that is not possible. Laptops should also have an integrated serial port or a USB-to-serial adapter for accessing router console ports.

This course is designed for those who have ALREADY DECIDED that they are going to move to IPv6. A more introductory level class will be offered at a later time.

The course offers a balanced mixture of technical issues, making it appealing to attendees needing to understand how to effectively secure a Mac.

We begin by reviewing existing Mac exploits and then move on to cover the basic concepts and challenges of securing a Mac. Next, you'll learn the standard security measures that should always be employed, and the usability implications of each. We cover forensics, intrusion detection, firewalls, web browsers, mail programs, network infrastructure, preferences, system policies, command line tools, encryption, hardware, and OS X Server. Through the course, you will find thorough coverage of defense in-depth on the Mac platform.

If you're a newcomer to the field of information security but a long time user of the Mac, or a newcomer to the Mac but a long time information security expert, this is the course for you. You will develop skills that will help you to bridge the gap between the Mac administrators and the security administrators in most organizations; and you will learn the ins and outs of keeping your data private.

This is an ideal course for anyone charged with securing Mac systems. From securing a desktop to the high availability options available on the platform, this course is going to be a whirlwind overview of the Mac that will leave you ready to move to the next level!
