Module 17 – LDAP, SMTP, Mail Servers and SNMP

Module 17 explores the critical components of network administration and communication protocols. LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) serves as a cornerstone in managing directory information across internet services, while SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is the standard protocol for email transmission. Understanding the configuration and maintenance of mail servers is crucial for ensuring reliable message delivery. Alongside, SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) plays a significant role in network management by allowing administrators to monitor network-attached devices. This module will delve into the intricacies of these protocols, providing you with the foundational knowledge to manage and troubleshoot email services and maintain network health and performance.
