EXAM DESCRIPTION
The Certification Lab Exam is bundled with the RH300 RHCE Rapid Track Course, but may be taken separately. Prospective enrollees in RH302 should consider taking one or more of Red Hat's RHCE courses in preparation for the exam, but these courses are not required.

PRE-REQUISITES
RH-033, RH-133, RH-253 or have equivalent experience with UNIX; LAN/WAN fundamentals, Internetworking with TCP/IP, knowledge or experience setting up NFS, HTTP, DNS, FTP, NIS, DHCP, and other networking services, and security.

GOAL
A Red Hat Enterprise Linux system administrator who has been trained then tested by means of the RHCE Exam, a realistic performance-based lab exam that tests his/her actual ability to: install and configure Red Hat Enterprise Linux; understand limitations of hardware; configure networking and file systems; configure the X Window System; configure security, set up common network (IP) services, carry out diagnostics and troubleshooting, and perform essential Red Hat Enterprise Linux system administration.

AUDIENCE
The audience for RH302 includes the following:

• people who have taken the exam before but have not passed it
• people who have taken the Standard Track (i.e., RH033, RH133, RH253) as preparation for the exam
• people who have taken the RH301 Red Hat Linux Rapid Track course v people who have taken the exam under an earlier version of Red Hat Linux, but are conversant in the current version and wish to update their certification
• people with extensive system administration experience on the current version of Red Hat Linux, or with extensive experience on a recent version who are also familiar with changes between that version and the current version who have prepared for the exam on their own
• Red Hat strongly recommends that experienced Unix system administrators new to Red Hat Linux take RH300, as it will provide the most direct migration of their existing skills and the most concise preparation for the exam.

System administrators with experience on operating systems such as Windows NTTM, Windows 2000TM, and NetWareTM who are not familiar with Linux or Unix should take the Standard Track of RH033, RH133, and RH253 before sitting for the exam.
