Duration
4 Days
Course
ZTCP-100
Available Formats
Classroom Training, Online Training
Course Description
Overview
This new, four-day course is the second part of the definitive z/OS Communications Server training program. This course explains in detail how TCP/IP works in a z/OS environment. Installation, profile definition and implementation are all taught in depth. All versions of TCP/IP for z/OS are covered, along with all the servers. Additionally, all the essential and important configuration options are explained and examples are provided. Extensive hands-on practical sessions, in which each student has their own system to work on, form the central part of the course. These sessions make up approximately 30% of the whole course. Each segment of the course also contains extensive review questions/exercises - thus ensuring that all students fully grasp each topic before moving on to the next.Objectives
At the end of this course, students will be able to:
- Describe the structure, operation and the addressing mechanisms used in a TCP/IP network
- List the major configuration steps involved in customizing TCP/IP for z/OS and explain the Security Server customization required in z/OS
- Explain the purpose and use of Virtual IP addressing (VIPA) and explain how to code for both a static and dynamic VIPA configuration
- Explain the purpose and use of Distributed VIPAs and the need for Sysplex Distributor
- Describe and define devices to TCP/IP for z/OS and explain how to define the TCP/IP for z/OS host IP address(es)
- Describe and define the purpose and customization of the DATA dataset and RESOLVER • Define the host name, domain name and DNS information
- Describe and define the HOSTS file and the SERVICES dataset
- Explain the configuration of the TN3270 server and the SNA gateway and explain the VTAM configuration required to support the gateway
- Implement a VTAM USS table for TN3270 users
- Describe and define the Telenet servers, INETD and SSHD
- Describe and define the operation and customization of the FTP server and its major security features
- Explain the differences between SFTP and FTPS
- Explain and define the operation and customization of the CSSMTP server and OMPROUTE server
- Describe the purpose and use of the major TCPIP, TSO and USS commands
- Explain how to start, stop and interpret a TCP/IP packet trace and a component trace using IPCS and WireShark
- Explain and define the purpose of the Enterprise Extender
- Explain how the security product Policy Agent is used and why it is needed
- Explain and define the structures required in a Parallel Sysplex for TCP/IP High Availability.
