FEATURES

Network Operating System supports the basic

underlying operating features of networks. These
include support for processor and the various
protocolthat allows computer to share data
 SECURITYFEATURES
Network operating systems support a number of
security features that control access to the
network. These include authorization and
permission for access to the network, with specific
control of features such as user management, log-
on controls and passwords
NETWORKING

A network operating system is the platform on

which computer networking takes place. Basic
features allow for file, print and Internet
connections. Data backup and replication functions
are controlled through the network operating
system. The management of connective systems
for local and wide area networks (LANs and
WANs), such as routing, switches and other ports
are configured and managed through network
operating system features.
 ADMINISTRATIVEINTERFACE

One of the features of a network operating system

is that it has an administrative interface that allows
a network administrator to monitor and maintain the
system. This interface will have a menu that allows
the administrator to perform functions such as
formatting hard drives and setting up security
protocols for both the system and individual users.
 ADVANTAGES
Netwk operating systems diverge into two
categories: peer-to-peer networks and client-to-
server operating systems. Each of these methods
of tying multiple devices into a given system has its
unique advantages from the flexibility of adding new
software and ease of expansion that is the hallmark
of client-to-server operating systems, to the ease of
setup and inexpensive operating cost that is main
attractor to peer-to-peer connections
 DISADVANTAGES
Disadvantages arise when networks require
troubleshooting as client-to-server networks often
have a dedicated IT staff to handle the potentially
expensive problems whereas peer-to-peer networks
have only each other to solve problems large and
small.
