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 can include client, server, email server, DNS server, DHCP server, router and firewall.
| Role | Description |
| Client | foo |
| Server | foo |
| DNS server | foo |
| DHCP server | foo |
| Router | foo |
| Firewall | foo |
