This is the second in a two-part series based on Oracle8i Network Administration. This series introduces participants to the trends and problems associated with business networking and presents the various solutions required to address these problems. This series explains in detail the architecture of Net8 and describes the steps in which connections are established between peers. Participants will learn how to implement a basic connection between a client and a server node using various naming methods. Participants will also configure a Names server a MultiThreaded Server and Connection Manager. The different methods used to determine network problems and the security risks are also presented. Utilities such as logging tracing and Trace Assistant will be covered. Finally the security solutions of the Advanced Networking Option (ANO) such as encryption and check summing are explained in detail along with various other security solutions will be covered in this series.
