| Network management contains many different areas. They include... 1.Network Documentation 2.Network Security 3.Network Maintenance 4.Server Administration 5.Server Maintenance The FIRST and most critical component for a good network is... documentation. List information contained in server and workstation configuration details... 1.Make and model of computer 2.Serial number 3.Floppy drives 4.Hard drives 5.DVD/CDROM drives 6.Sound/Network cards 7.Amount of Ram 8.IRQ 9.DMA 10.Base memory address config details of peripheral cards Explain characteristics of users poicies... They contain how the users can interact with the network and include what is and isn't permissable. Network Security--involves 2 major components--list them 1.Keeping the network safe form unauthorized access 2.Ability to recover data from catastrophic events List 5 types of back up operations and explain each 1.Full Backup- all files are stored on disks and archived 2.Incremental Backup- stores only files that have been added or updated since last full or incremental backup to disk 3.Differential Backup- stores all files that have been added or updated since last FULL backup to disk 4.Copy Backup- stores user-selected files to disk 5.Daily Backup- stores files that have been added or updated on day of backup to disk Explain enviromental factors... Enviromental factores are things that phisically affect hardware such as static, dustm dirt, and heat or things that affect sofware such as viruses. What is network performance? A measurement of a networks's speed and reliability What is the difference between peer-to-peer networks and client server networks? Peer to peer networks have no dedicated servers or central point of management, but client server networks do. Explain a systematic analysis technique for troubleshooting... Systematic analysis is a techniue that involves breaking down a problem by eliminating solutions until the proper solution can be found. REFLECTION: In this chapter I learned... the basics of security, hardware, and network efficiency. I learned many basic skills needed to keep a network operationg and running smoothly. |
