| In a ___________ network, Every computer is capable of sending and receiving information directly to and from every other computer. No computer has more authority than another | Peer-to-Peer |
| The advantages of using traditional peer-to-peer networks: | Easy to set up and maintain. Usually inexpensive |
| The disadvantages of using traditional peer-to-peer networks: | They are not very flexible. As a peer-to-peer network grows larger, adding or changing significant elements of the network may be difficult. Not usually all that secure Not practical for networks with more than about 10 users. |
| A very large peer-to-peer networks link computers from around the world to share files between each others' hard disks. They require specialized software besides the computer's operating system to allow resource sharing. These types of network called | P2P network |
| A........is a computer on the network that manages shared resources. Usually have more processing power than clients. They run network operating software that can manage not only data, but also users, groups, security, and applications on the network. | Server |
| A......is a various computers on a network (a.k.a. “workstations”) that make requests of the servers | Client |
| A....... is a network that uses a server to enable clients to share data, data storage space, and devices. To function as a server, a computer must be running a network operating system (NOS) | Client/Server Network |
| A........is a network design in which client computers use a centrally administered server to share data, data storage space, and devices. | client/server architecture |
| A .........is a network of computers and other devices that is confined to a relatively small space, such as one building or even one office. | LAN (local area network) |
| A.........is a network that is larger than a LAN, typically connecting clients and servers from multiple buildings, but within a limited geographic area. For example, a MAN could connect multiple city government buildings around a city's center. | MAN (metropolitan area network) |
| A........is a network that spans a long distance and connects two or more LANs. | WAN (wide area network) |
| A......is a computer that enables resource sharing by other computers on the same network. | Host |
| A.....is a client, server, or other device that can communicate over a network and that is identified by a unique number, known as its network address | Node |
| A......is specialized device that allows multiple networks or multiple parts of one network to connect and exchange data. | Connectivity device |
| A..The part of a network to which segments and significant shared devices (such as routers, switches, and servers) connect. A backbone is sometimes referred to as “a network of networks” because of its role in interconnecting smaller parts of a LAN or WAN | Backbone |
| A........is the physical layout of a computer network. Networks can be arranged in a ring, bus, or star formation, and the star formation is the most common. Hybrid combinations of these patterns are also possible. | Topology |
| A........is a standard method or format for communication between networked devices. For example, some protocols ensure that data are transferred in sequence and without error from one node on the network to another. | Protocol |
| A......is a distinct unit of data exchanged between nodes on a network. Breaking a large stream of data into many packets allows a network to deliver that data more efficiently and reliably | Packet |
| An.........is the scheme for assigning a unique identifying number to every node on the network. The type of addressing used depends on the network's protocols and network operating system. Each network device must have a unique address. | Addressing |
| A......is the means through which data are transmitted and received. Transmission media may be physical, such as wire or cable, or atmospheric (wireless), such as radio waves | Transmission media |
| A.....is the functions of a file server that allow users to share data files, applications, and storage areas. | file services |
| A.....the network service that allows printers to be shared by several users on a network. | print services |
| An......is the capability to allow remote users to connect to the network. Remote Access Server (RAS) used . A.K.A – Communications Server or Access Server | Access services |
| Data | Raw facts. Example – “1 2 3 o o T t e e l W S C c m” |
| __________transmission of data from point A to point B over some type of media | Data Communication |
| _________group of computers and other devices that are connected by some type of transmission media | Network |
| Advantages of networks over standalone computers: | Networks enable multiple users to share the network’s resources (devices and data). Networks allow you to manage, or administer, resources on multiple computers from a central location |
| Advantages Client/Server Networks: They are more | More manageable, More secure, More powerful, |
| various functions provided by a network: | File services Print services Access services Communications services Internet services Management service |
| ________Capability to supply web pages, file transfers, Internet addressing schemes, security filters, and a means for directly logging on to other computers on the Internet | Internet services |
| Mastering the Technical Challenges… | Installing, configuring, and troubleshooting: network server software and hardware network client software and hardware |
| Specialties in High Demand | Network Security Voice/Data Integration Server Administration Network Management Internet and Intranet Design Configuration and Optimization of Routers and Switches Centralized Data Storage and Management |
| _______skills that are not easily measurable for example Customer relations, Oral and written communications, Dependability, Teamwork, Leadership abilities | Soft skills |
| _______________process of mastering material pertaining to a particular hardware system, operating system (OS), programming language, or other software application, and then proving your mastery by passing a series of exams | Certification (Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE), Cisco Certified Internetwork Engineer (CCIE), CCNA, |
| Joining Professional Associations | ACM, WITI |
