What specialized computers manage network resources and allow computers access to the network?
File servers do those things. There are specialized servers as well, for example web servers, database servers, remote access servers, fax servers--the list goes on and on. But file servers are the backbone of providing access and managing files and who has access to what resources at which times.BTW. Access to the network is usually referred to as Authentication. And Rights or Security Management is usually what controls access to files, printers, and other resources.
What can compromise network configuration spread viruses and spyware and allow unauthorized access to data?
P2P, or a peer-to-peer network, can compromise network configuration, spread viruses and spyware, and allow access to unauthorized data. The P2P network allows peers to link together to create the network and share resources. Each computer will have equal rights and access. This leaves an obvious security risk to attacks.
Why do you need a username and password to log into a network?
To protect resources and documents. So they can log onto their network account. Different people will have different rights on the network, access to different printers, access to different documents etc... To prevent people logging in as somebody else, all acounts are password protected.
What are Network rights and privileges?
Basically just sets access levels of users or classes of users to different content on network devices.
What AAA component assigns varying levels of rights to users of network resources?
Authorization - it gives users rights to access specific resources and perform specific tasks. It's not authentication (username and password - database is stored on servers which use RADIUS or TACACS protocols), nor is it accounting (that tracks which applications are used and the length of time that they are used).
What is a small network where all of the computers are considered equal?
In a so called peer-to-peer network. There's no server or "master-computer", all computer are peers with equal rights and possibilities
What is benefit of the computer network?
The benefits of being a computer networker include being able to work on your own network, work in advanced environments, and earn a respectable living. Those who are knowledgeable of networking often work for large companies which require constant network maintenance.
Advantages of a server based network?
A client-server network is commonly used for medium to large business networks. In this type of setup, a server manages the sharing of network resources. The computers in client-server network rely on one or more central management points to access shared network resources such as printers, scanners, folders and files. A client-server network is more appropriate for medium size to larger networks because delivery and access to resources are more easily managed from a central control point. Servers are designed to cope with many simultaneous connections from users that need to access resources at the same time. Security and access control is more easily managed with this type of network and is considered extremely important by most organizations. The network administrator that manages the server(s) decides on access rights for users. A user may be allowed access to some shared resources but denied access to others. Normally, a user must authenticate themselves to a server before accessing any resources. Administrators manage users by creating accounts for them. each with their own username and password. Managing user accounts from a central location is one of the advantages of this type of client-server networks. Moreover, when network users save their data to file servers, administrators can back up the data easily and regularly to another location. Relying on a single server would mean relying on a single central connection point and the entire network would grind to a halt if it failed. Many client-server networks use more than one server as an extra precaution against a server failing. Advantages * More scalable than peer-to-peer networks * There is a central management point for sharing resources * More easily administered due to the central management point * More secure than peer-to-peer networks * Data can be backed up from one central location JAWID RAIZBCAS -KANDY Campus
What kind of new challenges has the rapid growth of computer usage and internet access presented for the Bill of Rights?
It limited privacy rights in online chat rooms because they are open to many participants and judges have afforded law enforcement broad access to workplace computers at government agencies that have usage and monitoring policies.
What is the Cartoonists Rights Network?
The Cartoonists Rights Network is an international organization with a mission of protecting editorial cartoonists all over the world from threats. One can learn more about the Cartoonists Rights Network at their official website.
How do sports broadcasting rights work and what factors determine which networks secure these rights for live coverage?
Sports broadcasting rights are agreements between sports leagues and television networks that allow the networks to broadcast live coverage of games and events. The factors that determine which networks secure these rights include the popularity and viewership of the sport, the financial resources of the network, competition from other networks, and the negotiation skills of the network executives. Ultimately, the network that offers the most attractive package of coverage and financial compensation to the sports league is likely to secure the broadcasting rights.
What are the advantages of a domain over a workgroup?
In a Workgroup:All computers are peers; no computer has control over another computer.Each computer has a set of user accounts. To use any computer in the workgroup, you must have an account on that computer.There are typically no more than ten to twenty computers.All computers must be on the same local network or subnetwork.In a Domain:One or more computers are servers. Network administrators use servers to control the security and permissions for all computers on the domain. This makes it easy to make changes because the changes are automatically made to all computers.If you have a user account on the domain, you can log on to any computer on the domain without needing an account on that computer.There can be hundreds or thousands of computers.The computers can be on different local networks.
