    The document discusses peer-to-peer and client-server network modes. In peer-to-peer mode, each computer on the network can act as both a client and server, sharing resources directly. In client-server mode, a dedicated server computer manages shared resources and provides centralized control, allowing for easier management, backup and security but at higher cost and complexity. The document outlines advantages and disadvantages of each approach.

    Module Title:
    Setup Computer Server
    Introduction
    A network is an interconnection of computers may be wired
    or wireless for data communication, remote accessing,
    resource management and data sharing.

    There are two types of mode in Networking:

     Peer to Peer Mode


     Server-Client
    PEER TO PEER MODE

     In Peer to Peer mode each of the interconnected machines


    share dual capability and responsibility on the network.
    Each machine serves as dual purpose or role, both clients
    and servers to some extent.
     As all machines on the network have equal status no
    centralized control over shared resources.
     Security can also be a major concern due to lack of
    centralization and this network configuration is used in
    small organization.
    Advantages of peer to peer network
    are as follows:
     The main advantage of peer to peer network is that it is easier to set up
     In peer-to-peer networks all nodes are act as server as well as client
    therefore no need of dedicated server.
     The peer to peer network is less expensive.
     Peer to peer network is easier to set up and use this means that you can
    spend less time in the configuration and implementation of peer to peer
    network.
     It is not require for the peer to peer network to use the dedicated server
    computer. Any computer on the network can function as both a network
    server and a user workstation.
    Disadvantages of peer to peer network

     A computer can be accessed anytime.


     Network security has to be applied to each computer separately.
     Backup has to be performed on each computer separately.
     No centralized server is available to manage and control the access of data.
     Users have to use separate passwords on each computer in the network.
     As with most network systems, unsecure and unsigned codes may allow
    remote access to files on a victim's computer or even compromise the entire
    network
    Client-Server Connection
    Client

     A client is the requesting program or user in a client/server relationship


    Server
     A server is a computer that serves information to other computers.
    These computers, called clients, can connect to a server through
    either a local area network (LAN) or a wide area network (WAN), such
    as the Internet.
    Different types of Server

     Proxy Server
     Mail Server
     Storage Server
     Web Server
     Application Server
     Real-Time Communication Server
     FTP Server
    Client-Server Mode

     A server is a machine that provides services over a network by responding to


    client requests.
     Server-based networks provide centralized control of the entire network
    environment.
     Server-based networks are easier to scale.
    Advantages of client-server networks

     Centralization
     Proper Management
     Back-up and Recovery possible
     Scalability
     Accessibility
     Security
     Servers can play different roles for different clients
    Disadvantages of client-server networks

     Congestion in Network
     Cost : It is very expensive to install and manage this type of computing.
     Need professional IT people to maintain the servers and other technical
    details of network
    How to access a server
     A server can be located inside or
    outside of LAN.
     Accessibility to the server is
    determined by whether or not it has
    a public IP address or private IP
    address.
     If the server has a public IP address,
    it can be accessed from the web. If it
    has a private IP address, it can only
    be accessed from inside of your LAN
