System Fundamentals^[1]

A computer can have different roles when we think about networks. You can think of a role as a "service a computer provides". Computers can provide multiple services, and can be both a client and provide a service.

Roles[edit]

Roles include client, server, email server, DNS server, router and firewall.

Role	Description
Client	foo
Server	foo
DNS server	foo
DHCP server	foo
Router	foo
Firewall	foo

Real-world practical advice[edit]

If you work with any professional computer scientist or IT professional, they will assume you understand the different roles a computer can have in a networked world. This is pretty basic stuff, so please memorize it.

Do you understand this material?[edit]

You should be able to provide 2 or 3 examples for each of the above terms.

Standards[edit]
