- 1. 1.what is meant by term interoperability? ---Interoperability is a property referring to the ability of diverse systems and organizations to work together (inter-operate). The term is often used in a technical systems engineering sense, or alternatively in a broad sense, taking into account social, political, and organizational factors that impact system to system performance 2.Write the short notes on: a. Fat: b. Fat32 c. NTFS File Allocation Table (FAT): A file system used by MS-DOS and other Windows-based operating systems to organize and manage files. The file allocation table (FAT) is a data structure that Windows creates when you format a volume by using the FAT or FAT32 file systems. Windows stores information about each file in the FAT so that it can retrieve the file later. FAT32: A derivative of the File Allocation Table (FAT) file system. FAT32 supports smaller cluster sizes and larger volumes than FAT, which results in more efficient space allocation on FAT32 volumes. NTFS: An advanced file system that provides performance, security, reliability, and advanced features that are not found in any version of FAT. For example, NTFS guarantees volume consistency by using standard transaction logging and recovery techniques. If a system fails, NTFS uses its log file and checkpoint information to restore the consistency of the file system. In Windows 2000 and Windows XP, NTFS also provides advanced features such as file and folder permissions, encryption, disk quotas, and compression. 3.what is hub and when is it commonly used? ----A common connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports. When a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets. A passive hub serves simply as a conduit for the data, enabling it to go from one device (or segment) to another. So-called intelligent hubs include additional features that enables an administrator to monitor the traffic passing through the hub and to configure each port in the hub. Intelligent hubs are also called manageable hubs.
- 2. 4. what is TCP/IP protocol and when is it used? The Internet Protocol Suite (commonly known as TCP/IP) is the set of communications protocols used for the Internet and other similar networks. It is named from two of the most important protocols in it: the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the Internet Protocol (IP), which were the first two networking protocols defined in this standard. It is highly used in World Wide Web. 6.What does DHCP stands for, how does it work and when would it be used? Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network application protocol used by devices (DHCP clients) to obtain configuration information for operation in an Internet Protocol network. This protocol reduces system administration workload, allowing devices to be added to the network with little or no manual intervention. A computer running the Microsoft DHCP service offers dynamic configuration of IP addresses and related information to DHCP-enabled clients, which helps to assign range of IP Address to all the clients in a network. When we have a lot of computers in a network and we want to assign IP Address automatically to all the client’s in a network we can use DHCP. 7.What is windows Internet information services(IIS) and what functions does it provide? List the 3 example of web server. ---Internet Information Services (IIS) - formerly called Internet Information Server - is a set of Internet- based services for servers created by Microsoft for use with Microsoft Windows. Windows IIs Apache HTTP Server. Sun Java System Web Server 8.What is the ipconfig command, and how can it be used to check network connectivity? ---Ipconfig is a DOS utility which can be used from MS-DOS and a MS-DOS shell to display the network settings currently assigned and given by a network. This command can be utilized to verify a network connection as well as to verify your network settings. From the command prompt, type 'ipconfig' to run the utility with default options. The output of the default command contains the IP address, network mask and gateway for all physical and virtual .
- 3. 9.why should you check the warranty conditions on a piece of hardware before attempting to repair it? We should check the warranty condition on a piece of hardware before attempting to repair it because most manufacturers offer some level of warranty on their hardware and some of the manufacturer offer return to base warranty which means in place of defective hardware the manufacturer repairs or replaces the hardware component for the buyer. Advanced replacement of defective equipment is included, often with next-day delivery based on equipment availability Warranty extensions must be purchased prior to expiration of existing warranty. 10.why would an organization want to maintain a list of hardware assert numbers? ---Organization want to maintain a list of hardware assert numbers because it is a kind of index with all the items listed. It is very important to identify the server, its location and value. It can also be used for accounting purposes to calculate depreciation and for insurance purposes to estimate replacement value. It can be kept from simple handwritten making stickers or barcode. 11.why keeping server log is important. ---Server logs keeps contains all the events and during the failure of any driver or service to load it is recorded as well as any errors the driver or service may encounter. It helps to trace out the exact cause of error which can be fixed afterward. 12. Name two documents that are useful for maintaining network documentation. ----The two documents that are useful for maintaining network documentation are as follows: 1.sizing a network: it is important to have a clear idea of the network’s expected size. everything needs to be planned so that capacity of clients can be added afterward during the increase in umbers of users. 2.Security: After a network is maintained security should also be maintained so that network should not be accessible to any intrusions or unauthorized users. 13,using a word processor design your own version of a network maintenance report. test a report by populating it with some dummy data. During designing a network maintenance report various issues has to be kept in mind for example: 1. Protocols: it refers to Which protocol I am trying to use in my network like..TCP/IP, IPX ,Appletalk.
- 4. 2. Network hardware: It refers to which network interface card , cables , transmission medias , hardware devices , gateway’s that I am trying to implement. 3. background information for software implementation. 4.Budget: it refers to all the cost that will be used in a network. 5.Solution and repair: it refers to all the technical solution and repairs that will be done after completing all the design afterward. 14.write a example of server hardware specification document. ---- a server hardware specification deals with the the documents that lists what the hardware and software which is implemented in a network. It makes easy to find fault and for maintenance purpose. Information may be as follows: 1Regarding BIOS type. 2.Amount of memory used. 3.Cpu type and speed 4.Installed periperals 5.O/s used and application used. 6.Asset number and location of server. 6.date and log created. For eg: Server H/W Specification Date of purchase: 1.1.2009 Supplier : Dicker data Model : Intel Location Server room Asset no: 8789 Name : ingram.com.au Domain : aiccl.edu.au Protocols: TCP/IP , IPX/SPX IP Address : 192.168.1.1. CPU: Core 2 Quad Memory: Kingston Expert express Hard disk : LaCie 1000 G.B Partition : NTFS Bios : Intel Peripheral : Hp laser jet Software : Adobe Photoshop Operating system : Linux/ Windows server 2003
