Exam Objectives
RHCE exam candidates should consult the RHCSA Exam Objectives document and be capable of RHCSA-level tasks, as some of these skills may be required in order to meet RHCE exam objectives. Red Hat reserves the right to add, modify and remove objectives. Such changes will be made public in advance through revisions to this document.
RHCE exam candidates should be able to accomplish the following without assistance. These have been grouped into several categories.
System Configuration and Management
Route IP traffic and create static routes
Use iptables to implement packet filtering and configure network address translation (NAT)
Use /proc/sys and sysctl to modify and set kernel run-time parameters
Configure system to authenticate using Kerberos
Build a simple RPM that packages a single file
Configure a system as an iSCSI initiator that persistently mounts an iSCSI target
Produce and deliver reports on system utilization (processor, memory, disk, and network)
Use shell scripting to automate system maintenance tasks
Configure a system to log to a remote system
Configure a system to accept logging from a remote system
Network Services
Network services are an important subset of the exam objectives. RHCE candidates should be capable of meeting the following objectives for each of the network services listed below:
Install the packages needed to provide the service
Configure SELinux to support the service
Configure the service to start when the system is booted
Configure the service for basic operation
Configure host-based and user-based security for the service
RHCE candidates should also be capable of meeting the following objectives associated with specific services:
HTTP/HTTPS
Configure a virtual host
Configure private directories
Deploy a basic CGI application
Configure group-managed content
DNS
Configure a caching-only name server
Configure a caching-only name server to forward DNS queries
Note: Candidates are not expected to configure master or slave name servers
FTP
Configure anonymous-only download
NFS
Provide network shares to specific clients
Provide network shares suitable for group collaboration
SMB
Provide network shares to specific clients
Provide network shares suitable for group collaboration
SMTP
Configure a mail transfer agent (MTA) to accept inbound email from other systems
