The workings of a computer network?

the central part of the computer network is the server system. There are a number of servers that provide services to the network. There are file servers, email servers, data servers etc that are part of the network, even in a small organization. These servers are connected to either routers or switches which run cales out to the different machines on the network. PC's and printers are usually on this network. There are other specialized machines that make up part of the system like tape drives to back up the network data but I am just outlining the major portions that most folks see. the switches run cables back to the user and the printers. If a server, switch or router goes down it could cause the loss of part or all of the system so they should be locked away from any one just happening by and throwing an on/off switch or running some malicious software on it.
