Identify the major system files in a computer system 3. distinguish the functions of each configuration Major System Files (Part 1) You are required to identify the names, locations, purposes and contents of major system files. The following tables show these files for Windows 9x, NT, 200x and XP. Windows 9x Specific Files File IO.SYS Location Root Description A binary executable file that is loaded when the computer is booted. It contains the information required to start your computer. It replaces config.sys and autoexec.bat in later versions of Windows. A text file that contains the start-up and configuration variables and settings. It is loaded by io.sys. This is a batch file containing several commands that will automatically run when the computer starts. This is the command processor for MS-DOS and Windows 9x. It processes the commands that you type at the command prompt. It contains several internal DOS commands to assist in the management of the system which are loaded into memory. This contains commands to tell the operating system how to set up the computer system. It specifies how the main memory will be managed, i.e. it programs the way hardware devices will be controlled and can set limits on system resources. A system file which enables the real-mode

INFORMATION SHEET 2.1-2 BASIC NETWORK CONFIGURATION Learning Objectives: After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to: 1. Identify the basic concepts in networking 1. Analyze the different networking topologies 2. Compare the different networking configurations What is a Network? In general, the term network can refer to any interconnected group or system. More specifically, a network is any method of sharing information between two systems (human or mechanical). A computer network is an interconnected group of computers. A network is a communication of two computers or nodes that shares information vice versa and links each others resources. BENEFITS OF SHARING INFORMATION VIA NETWORK In addition to reducing hardware costs by sharing expensive printers and other peripherals among multiple users, networks provide additional benefits to the users. Software and data files can be shared for access by multiple users Electronic mail e-mail can be sent and received Collaboration features allow contributions by multiple users to a single document Remote-control programs can be used to troubleshoot problems or show new users how to perform a task SHARED HARDWARE COMPONENTS Virtually, any storage or output device can be shared over a network, but the most common devices to be used over a network include: Printers Disk drives CD-ROM and optical drives Modems Fax Tape backup units
LFMJR
Network TOPOLOGY Network Topology signifies the way in which intelligent devices in the network see their logical relations to one another. The use of the term "logical" here is significant. That is, network topology is independent of the "physical" layout of the network. Even if networked computers are physically placed in a linear arrangement, if they are connected via a hub, the network has a Star topology, rather than a Bus Topology. In this regard the visual and operational characteristics of a network are distinct; the logical network topology is not necessarily the same as the physical layout.
Bus Topology It is often used when network installation is small, simple or temporary. On a typical bus network the cable is just 1 or more wires with no active electronics to amplify the signal or pass it along from computer to computer. This makes the bus a passive topology. When 1 computer sends a signal up the wire all the computers receive the information but only one with the address that matches accepts the information, the rest disregard the message.
Advantages: o Easy to use and to understand. o Requires least amount of cable to connect the computers together. It is therefore less expensive than other cabling arrangements. o It is easy to extend a bus; two cables can be joined into 1 longer cable with a BNC, Barrel connector making a longer cable and allowing more computers to join the network. Disadvantages: o Heavy network traffic can slow a bus considerably as only 1 computer can send a message at a time. o It is difficult to troubleshoot the bus. A cable break or loose connector causes reflection and stops all the activity.
LFMJR
STAR TOPOLOGY In this kind of topology all the cables run from the computers to the central location where they are all connected by a device called hub or switch. Each computer on a star network communicates with a central device that resends the message either to each computer or only to the destination computer, example if it is a hub then it will send to all and if it is a switch then it will send to only destination computer. When network expansion is expected and when the greater reliability is needed, star topology is the best.
Advantages: o It is easy to modify and add new computers without disturbing the rest of the network. o The center of the star network is a good place to diagnose the faults. o Single computer failure does not necessarily bring down the whole star network.
Disadvantages: o If the central device fails, the whole network fails to operate. o Star networking is expensive because all network cables must be pulled to one central point, requires more cable than other network topologies.
LFMJR
RING TOPOLOGY In this type each computer is connected to the next computer with the last one connected to the first. Each retransmits what it receives from the previous computer. The message flows around the ring in one direction. The ring network does not subject to signal loss problem as a bus network experiences. There is no termination because there is no end to the ring. Advantages: Each node has equal access. Capable of high speed data transfer. Disadvantages: Failure of one computer on the ring can affect the whole network. Difficult to troubleshoot the network. Types of networks Below is a list of the most common types of computer networks in order of scale. Personal Area Network (PAN) A personal area network (PAN) is a computer network used for communication among computer devices close to one person. Some examples of devices that may be used in a PAN are printers, fax machines, telephones, PDAs or scanners. The reach of a PAN is typically within about 20-30 feet (approximately 6-9 meters).
LFMJR
Local Area Network (LAN) A network covering a small geographic area, like a home, office, or building. Current LANs are most likely to be based on Ethernet technology. For example, a library will have a wired or wireless LAN for users to interconnect local devices (e.g., printers and servers) and to connect to the internet. All of the PCs in the library are connected by category 5 (Cat5) cable, running the IEEE 802.3 protocol through a system of interconnection devices and eventually connect to the internet. The cables to the servers are on Cat 5e enhanced cable, which will support IEEE 802.3 at 1 GB/s. The staff computers (bright green) can get to the color printer, checkout records, and the academic network and the Internet. All user computers can get to the Internet and the card catalog. Each workgroup can get to its local printer. Note that the printers are not accessible from outside their workgroup. Client/Server Vs Peer-to-Peer Networks Although every computer on a LAN is connected to every other, they do not necessarily mean all communicate with each other. There are two basic types of LAN, based on communication patterns between the machines, called client/server networks and peer-to-peer networks. Client/Server Networks Every computer has a distinct role, that of either a client or a server. A server is designed to share its resources among client computers on the network. The Client/Server is composed of: Servers These are located in secured areas, such as locked closets and data centers, because they hold the organization's most
LFMJR
valuable data and do not have the accessed by operators on a continuous basis. The server runs a special network operating system such as: Windows NT Server, Windows 2000 or Novell Netware. \
Clients The rest of the computers on the network functions as client. A client standard PC that is running an operating system such as DOS or Windows.
Peer-to-Peer Network In a peer-to-peer network, every computer is equal and can communicate with other computer on a network to which it has been granted access rights. Essentially, every computer in this network functions as both server and client. Peer-to-peer network can be as small as two computers as many as hundreds of units. There is no theoretical limit to the size of a peer-to-peer network, performance drops significantly and security becomes a major headache on peer -based network with more than 10 computers. Also, Microsoft imposes a 10-station limit on computers running Windows 2000 Professional who are sharing resources with other system. For this reason, it is better you switch to a client/server network when your network climbs to 10 stations.
LFMJR
Example of Peer-to-Peer Network CAMPUS AREA NETWORK (CAN) A network that connects two or more LANs but that is limited to a specific and contiguous geographical area such as a college campus, industrial complex, or a military base. A CAN may be considered a type of MAN (metropolitan area network), but is generally limited to an area that is smaller than a typical MAN. This term is most often used to discuss the implementation of networks for a contiguous area. This should not be confused with a Controller Area Network. Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) A Metropolitan Area Network is a network that connects two or more Local Area Networks or Campus Area Networks together but does not extend beyond the boundaries of the immediate town, city, or metropolitan area. Multiple routers, switches & hubs are connected to create a MAN. Wide Area Network (WAN) A WAN is a data communications network that covers a relatively broad geographic area (i.e. one city to another and one country to another country) and that often uses transmission facilities provided by common carriers, such as telephone companies.
LFMJR
Global Area Network (GAN) Global area networks (GAN) specifications are in development by several groups, and there is no common definition. In general, however, a GAN is a model for supporting mobile communications across an arbitrary number of wireless LANs, satellite coverage areas, etc. The key challenge in mobile communications is "handing off" the user communications from one local coverage area to the next. In IEEE Project 802, this involves a succession of terrestrial Wireless local area networks (WLAN). Internetwork Two or more networks or network segments connected using devices that operate at layer 3 (the 'network' layer) of the OSI Basic Reference Model, such as a router. Any interconnection among or between public, private, commercial, industrial, or governmental networks may also be defined as an internetwork. In modern practice, the interconnected networks use the Internet Protocol. There are at least three variants of internetwork, depending on who administers and who participates in them: Intranet Extranet Internet Intranets and extranets may or may not have connections to the Internet. If connected to the Internet, the intranet or extranet is normally protected from being accessed from the Internet without proper authorization. The Internet is not considered to be a part of the intranet or extranet, although it may serve as a portal for access to portions of an extranet. Intranet An intranet is a set of interconnected networks, using the Internet Protocol and uses IP-based tools such as web browsers and ftp tools, that is under the control of a single administrative entity. That administrative entity closes the intranet to the rest of the world,
LFMJR
and allows only specific users. Most commonly, an intranet is the internal network of a company or other enterprise. Extranet An extranet is a network or internetwork that is limited in scope to a single organization or entity but which also has limited connections to the networks of one or more other usually, but not necessarily, trusted organizations or entities (e.g. a company's customers may be given access to some part of its intranet creating in this way an extranet, while at the same time the customers may not be considered 'trusted' from a security standpoint). Technically, an extranet may also be categorized as a CAN, MAN, WAN, or other type of network, although, by definition, an extranet cannot consist of a single LAN; it must have at least one connection with an external network. Internet A specific internetwork, consisting of a worldwide interconnection of governmental, academic, public, and private networks based upon the Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET) developed by ARPA of the U.S. Department of Defense also home to the World Wide Web (WWW) and referred to as the 'Internet' with a capital 'I' to distinguish it from other generic internetworks. Participants in the Internet, or their service providers, use IP Addresses obtained from address registries that control assignments.
