- 1networkadvantages:Sharing devices such as printers saves money.
Site (software) licences are likely to be cheaper than buying several standalone licences.
Data is easy to backup as all the data is stored on the file server. - 2networkadvantages:Files can easily be shared between users.
Network users can communicate by email and instant messenger.
Security is good - users cannot see other users' files unlike on stand-alone machines.
Data is easy to backup as all the data is stored on the file server. - 3networkdisadvantages:Managing a large network is complicated, requires training and a network manager usually needs to be employed.
If the file server breaks down the files on the file server become inaccessible. Email might still work if it is on a separate server. The computers can still be used but are isolated. - 4networkdisadvantage:Viruses can spread to other computers throughout a computer network.
There is a danger of hacking, particularly with wide area networks. Security procedures are needed to prevent such abuse, e.g a firewall.
Purchasing the network cabling and file servers can be expensive. - 5bus topologyadvantages:Easy to connect or remove devices in a network without affecting any other device. In case of any computer or device failure, there will be no effect on other devices or network. Cable cost is less as compared to other network topology i.e. mesh and star. It is easy to understand topology
- 6bus topologydisadvantage:It can be difficult to identify the problems if the whole network goes down. It can be hard to troubleshoot individual device issues. Bus topology is not great for large networks. Terminators are required for both ends of the main cable. Additional devices slow the network down.
- 7wanadvantages: wan offer a distinct privacy and security advantage. Network Performance Consistency: Equally important, your data does not have to compete with other Internet data for bandwidth as your communications travel between destinations. You get continuous access to all the bandwidth you are paying for.
- 8wandisadvantages:Disadvantages of a wide area network (WAN)
Security problems: Wide Area Networks faces more security problem as compare to LANs and MANs. One of the key disadvantages of WANs is a security issue when many different people have the ability to use information from other computers. - 9Lanadvantages: LAN connections can only operate in a local area which is usually not any bigger then a house, or a floor in an office building. s, but can have upwards of a hundred. It is relatively cheap to have as it tends to require less hassle to set up and less advanced infrastructure to keep it running..
- 10Landisadvantages: LAN covers small geographical area.Security issues are big concern as it is easy to have access to programs and data of peers. Special security measures are needed to stop unauthorized access
- 11Landisadvantages: .It is difficult to setup and maintain LAN and requires skilled technicians and network administrators.In the server based LAN architecture, if server develops some fault, all the users are affected.Appearance of virus in one system can spread very fast to all the LAN users very easily.
- 12IP addressadvantages: Less downtime – Each time your IP address refreshes you run the risk of downtime from the server. While this is usually only for a very short time, it can wreak havoc on your gaming. Having a static address eliminates this risk. Web hosts usually offer a shared SSL certificate where clients can share the Web host’s SSL.
- 13IP addressdisadvantages: disadvantage of static IP addresses is that each address, once assigned, is occupied by a single computer even when that computer is not in use. Since each computer needs a unique address, this limits the number of available IP addresses.Using a single, public IP address for a single server is expensive.
- 14ringdisadvantages: All data being transferred over the network must pass through each workstation on the network, which can make it slower than a star topology.The entire network will be impacted if one workstation shuts down.
- 15ringadvantages: All data flows in one direction, reducing the chance of packet collisions.
A network server is not needed to control network connectivity between each workstation.Data can transfer between workstations at high speeds.
