1.4c client server and peer to peer
All of the workstations or nodes are connected to the hub which is then connected to the servers so everything is there for what they need.
The files are saves in the file server so if you can authenticate then you can access the hub which can then access the file server.
A server provides a service to connected nodes.
Every single device has to be connected to cables to the hub; which then the hub would have to be connected by cables to the servers.
A server can typically provide you with:
Files,
Backup,
Printing,
eMail,
And access to the Internet.
If the cabling between the switch and the server stop working then no one can then access any of the servers which can really slow your company down when they are working.
It’s very expensive and you need to hire specialist staff to be able to maintain the servers and make sure the permission levels are maintained.
Peer to Peer
A peer to peer network has no server, it only has a hub. (There is no central point)
Files are saved onto the specific workstation that they were saved onto. If the user with the files on their workstation is turned off then no one else can use or access those files.
If the user wants to change the sharing properties to the files on their workstation that everyone else has to use then no one can access them.
If you wanted to get a site licence you would then have to go along to every workstation and install the rights on there.
If you need to use a printer and the node connected to it is off then no other node on the network can then use it.
