SERVER


WHAT IS SERVER

A SERVER IS A COMPUTER PROGRAM OR DEVICE THAT PROVIDES A SERVICE TO ANOTHER COMPUTER PROGRAM AND ITS USER, ALSO KNOWN AS THE CLIENT. THIS ARCHITECTURE IS CALLED THE CLIENT-SERVER MODEL.

A SERVER IS A NETWORK DEVICE BECAUSE IT IS A COMPUTER THAT IS CONNECTED TO A NETWORK AND PROVIDES RESOURCES TO OTHER COMPUTERS ON THE NETWORK. SERVERS ARE USED TO STORE DATA, RUN APPLICATIONS, AND PROVIDE SERVICES TO CLIENTS. 

A SERVER IS A COMPUTER THAT PROVIDES RESOURCES, SUCH AS FILES, PROGRAMS, AND PRINTERS, TO OTHER COMPUTERS OVER A NETWORK.

IT IS A CENTRAL POINT FOR DATA STORAGE AND PROCESSING, AND IT CAN BE USED TO RUN APPLICATIONS, HOST WEBSITES, AND PROVIDE EMAIL SERVICES.

TYPES OF SERVER

WEB SERVERS

WEB SERVERS DELIVER WEB PAGES TO USERS' BROWSERS. THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR STORING AND RETRIEVING WEB FILES, SUCH AS HTML, CSS, AND JAVASCRIPT.


FILE SERVERS

FILE SERVERS STORE FILES THAT CAN BE ACCESSED BY OTHER COMPUTERS ON THE NETWORK. THEY ARE OFTEN USED TO STORE SHARED DOCUMENTS, IMAGES, AND VIDEOS.


APPLICATION SERVERS

APPLICATION SERVERS RUN APPLICATIONS THAT ARE ACCESSED BY USERS OVER THE NETWORK. THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR HANDLING THE PROCESSING AND DATA STORAGE REQUIREMENTS OF THE APPLICATIONS.


DATABASE SERVERS

DATABASE SERVERS STORE AND MANAGE DATABASES. THEY ARE USED TO STORE LARGE AMOUNTS OF DATA THAT CAN BE ACCESSED BY MULTIPLE USERS.



MAIL SERVERS

MAIL SERVERS SEND AND RECEIVE EMAIL MESSAGES. THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR STORING EMAIL MESSAGES, ROUTING THEM TO THEIR DESTINATIONS, AND DELIVERING THEM TO USERS' MAILBOXES.



DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RACK AND BLADE SERVER

MAINFRAME SERVERS

MAINFRAME SERVERS ARE THE LARGEST AND MOST POWERFUL TYPE OF SERVER. THEY ARE TYPICALLY USED BY LARGE ORGANIZATIONS TO RUN CRITICAL APPLICATIONS.
_______________

DHCP SERVER

A DHCP SERVER IS A NETWORK SERVER THAT AUTOMATICALLY PROVIDES AND ASSIGNS IP ADDRESSES, DEFAULT GATEWAYS AND OTHER NETWORK PARAMETERS TO CLIENT DEVICES.

IT RELIES ON THE STANDARD PROTOCOL KNOWN AS DYNAMIC HOST CONFIGURATION PROTOCOL OR DHCP TO RESPOND TO BROADCAST QUERIES BY CLIENTS.

TFTP SERVER

TRIVIAL FILE TRANSFER PROTOCOL (TFTP) IS A SIMPLE PROTOCOL THAT PROVIDES BASIC FILE TRANSFER FUNCTION WITH NO USER AUTHENTICATION.

TFTP IS BEST WHEN TRANSFERRING DATA LOCALLY WITHIN A DATA CENTER WHERE SECURITY AND NETWORK STABILITY IS NOT AN ISSUE.

ONE OF THE MAIN ADVANTAGES OF USING TFTP BOOT IS ITS SIMPLICITY AND SPEED. TFTP IS A VERY SIMPLE PROTOCOL THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE ANY AUTHENTICATION, ENCRYPTION, OR ERROR CORRECTION.

TFTP PORT NO IS 69.
______________

DNS SERVER

A DNS (DOMAIN NAME SYSTEM) SERVER IS A CRITICAL COMPONENT OF THE INTERNET INFRASTRUCTURE THAT TRANSLATES HUMAN-FRIENDLY DOMAIN NAMES (LIKE WWW.EXAMPLE.COM) INTO THE NUMERICAL IP ADDRESSES (LIKE 192.0.2.1) THAT COMPUTERS USE TO COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER.

DNS PORT NO IS 53.

BRIDGE MODE AND NAT MODE AP

  BOTH BRIDGE MODE AND NAT MODE ARE WAYS TO CONFIGURE AN ACCESS POINT (AP) TO EXTEND A NETWORK, BUT THEY DIFFER IN HOW THEY HANDLE IP ADDRESSES AND NETWORK TRAFFIC: BRIDGE MODE: CONCEPT: ACTS AS A TRANSPARENT BRIDGE, SIMPLY RELAYING DATA BETWEEN WIRED AND WIRELESS DEVICES. IP ADDRESS: DEVICES OBTAIN THEIR IP ADDRESSES FROM AN UPSTREAM DHCP SERVER, TYPICALLY THE MAIN ROUTER ON THE NETWORK. NETWORK TRAFFIC: ALL DEVICES, BOTH WIRED AND WIRELESS, ARE SEEN AS PART OF THE SAME NETWORK AND CAN DIRECTLY COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER. BENEFITS: SEAMLESS ROAMING: DEVICES CAN EFFORTLESSLY SWITCH BETWEEN APS WITHOUT LOSING THEIR IP ADDRESS OR CONNECTION. SIMPLIFIED NETWORK MANAGEMENT: ALL DEVICES ARE ON THE SAME SUBNET, MAKING CONFIGURATION AND TROUBLESHOOTING EASIER. INCREASED COMPATIBILITY: WORKS WITH DEVICES THAT DON'T SUPPORT NAT TRAVERSAL (E.G., SOME VPN CLIENTS). DRAWBACKS: LESS SECURITY : ALL DEVICES ARE DIRECTLY EXPOSED TO EACH OTHER, POTENTIALLY INCREAS

DOS AND DDOS ATTACK

A Dos (Denial-Of-Service) Attack and A DDOS (Distributed Denial-Of-Service) Attack Are Both Attempts to Make a Computer System or Network Resource Unavailable to Legitimate Users. However, They Differ in How They Achieve This: Dos Attack: Imagine A Single Person Throwing Rocks at A Castle Gate. A This Person Represents the Attacker, And the Rocks Represent the Malicious Traffic. The Castle Gate Represents the Target System or Network Resource. The Attacker Keeps Throwing Rocks, Trying to Overwhelm the Gate's Defenses and Gain Entry. Dos Attacks Are Typically Launched from A Single System. They Can Be Effective Against Small Systems or Networks, But Larger Systems Can Often Withstand Them. DDos Attack: Imagine An Army Throwing Rocks at A Castle Gate. This Army Represents the Attacker, And the Rocks Represent the Malicious Traffic. The Castle Gate Represents the Target System or Network Resource. The Attackers Coordinate Their Attack, Throwing Rocks from Multiple Directions at Once.

VSC (Virtual Cluster Switching)

  VIRTUAL CLUSTER SWITCHING (VCS): THIS IS A PROPRIETARY NETWORK FABRIC TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPED BY BROCADE, LATER ACQUIRED BY EXTREME NETWORKS. IT ALLOWS MULTIPLE PHYSICAL SWITCHES TO BE COMBINED AND MANAGED AS A SINGLE LOGICAL UNIT, OFFERING SEVERAL BENEFITS: SIMPLIFIED MANAGEMENT: MANAGE THE ENTIRE VCS AS ONE ENTITY, REDUCING CONFIGURATION OVERHEAD AND TROUBLESHOOTING COMPLEXITY. INCREASED PORT DENSITY: COMBINE PORTS FROM MULTIPLE SWITCHES TO CREATE A LARGER POOL OF AVAILABLE CONNECTIONS. IMPROVED PERFORMANCE:   ENHANCE LINK UTILIZATION AND LOAD BALANCING ACROSS MULTIPLE PHYSICAL LINKS, REDUCING BOTTLENECKS. ENHANCED REDUNDANCY:   PROVIDES FAILOVER PROTECTION IN CASE OF A SWITCH FAILURE. TRAFFIC WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY REROUTED TO OTHER SWITCHES WITHIN THE VCS. SIMPLIFIED NETWORK TOPOLOGY: ELIMINATES THE NEED FOR COMPLEX LINK AGGREGATION OR SPANNING TREE PROTOCOL (STP) CONFIGURATIONS. _________ VCS, OR VIRTUAL CLUSTER SWITCHING, CAN OPERATE IN DIFFERENT MODES DEPENDI
