Client-Server Network

In a client/server network, the server provides the requested information or service to the
client. Servers on a client/server network commonly perform some of the processing work for client
machines, such as sorting through a database before delivering only the records requested by the
client.

Figure 86. Client/Server Network

 One example of a client/server network is a corporate environment in which employees use
a company e-mail server to send, receive, and store e- mail. The e-mail client on an employee
computer issues a request to the e- mail server for any unread e-mail. The server responds by
sending the requested e-mail to the client.
In a client/server model, the servers are maintained by network administrators. Data backups
and security measures are implemented by the network administrator. The network administrator
also controls user access to the network resources. All the data on the network is stored on a
centralized file server. Shared printers on the network are managed by a centralized print server.
Network users with the proper permissions can access both the data and shared printers. Each user
must provide an authorized username and password to gain access to network resources that he
or she is permitted to use. For data protection, an administrator performs a routine backup of all the
files on the servers. If a computer crashes, or data is lost, the administrator can easily recover the
data from a recent backup.

How Do I Set Up a Server to Client Network?

Server to client computer networks are common in businesses and can be useful in homes
as well. This is different than simply connecting computers to a router to use the Internet,
because another type of device or computer is set up as the server, which the other computers
connect to. This type of network allows you to centrally manage the computers in the network
and share files and printers with each computer. A server to client network works well in
situations where you have more than three computers and you want to be able to access a
resource, such as files or a printer, on all of the connecting computers. You should have at
least a basic understanding of how computer networks work to complete this project.
Step 1
Connect all of the computers to be networked to a router. Attach one end of an Ethernet cable to a
computer's network card and the other end to the proper connection on the router. Do this for each
computer and the server to be networked. Power on the router and all of the computers.
Step 2
Open the server management program on your Windows Server. Do this by clicking "Manage Your
Server" from the start menu. Click "Add or Remove a Role." A new window will open with the configure
your server wizard. Click "Next." A list of the different functions functions your server can perform is
then displayed. Select "Domain Controller (Active Directory)" and press "Next." Click "Next" again to
begin the active directory installation.
Step 3
Click "Next" on the installation wizard until reaching the page where you can select the option to specify
that you are setting up a domain controller for a new domain. Press "Next" and then select "Domain
in a New Forest." Type a name for your domain. This will be the name of your network. Click "Next"
and a name will be displayed that will be used if your network contains a computer running an older
version of Windows.
Step 4
Click "Next" until reaching the step called "DNS Registration Diagnostics." Select the option to "Install
and configure the DNS server on this computer," and then set this computer to "Use this DNS server
as it's preferred server." Click "Next" until reaching the screen where you must enter a password for
the administrator. Click "Next" and run the installation. Insert the server installation disc if required.
Restart the computer to complete the installation when prompted to.
Step 5
Reopen the Manage your Server program. Click "Manage Users And Computers In Active Directory."
Add a computer object for each computer in the domain. Add user accounts for each user that will log
on as well.
Step 6
On each computer in the network, open the system properties from under control panel. Click
"Change..." on the computer name tab. Click "Domain" and then enter the name of the domain. Enter
a user name and password for the domain when prompted. Restart the computer. You can now access
the domain and log on to the server.

GUIDE

For the Teacher

Advise the students to read the Reading and Discussion portion before they attempt to answer
the practice exercises. Let the learners go through the parts sequentially to help them understand the
topic easily. The Key Answers are for you to refer during the checking. Don’t include it in the printing.

For the Learner:

Read thoroughly and understand the Self-Learning Home Task from the first part to the last part.
By doing so, will help you understand better the topic. If you still have enough time, do it twice for
more understanding. You can use a dictionary if you find it hard to comprehend the science terms.
Use a separate sheet for your answers.

For the Parent/Home Tutor:

Assist your child and make sure that he/she reads the Self-Learning Home Task from the
beginning up to end, to ensure proper understanding of the concepts. Don’t feed the answer to your
child. Let her/him do it of his own.

 EXERCISE 3

1. How does a client server network functions?

Client server model is the relationship between two

computers in which one, the client, makes a service request
from another the server. The keypoint about a client server
model is that client is dependent on the server to provide
and manage the information.

2. What are the advantages and disadvantages of a

client – server network?
Following are the advantages of the Client-Server
Network Operating System:

1. It has centralized control and administration.

2. It has a backup facility for lost data.
3. The shared data and resources can be accessed
concurrently by multiple clients.
4. It has better reliability and performance.
Following are the disadvantages of the Client-Server
Network Operating System:

1. The setup cost is very high.

2. There is a requirement of specialized software for
client and server machines to function properly.
3. There is a need for an administrator to administer
the network.
4. There may be network failure, in case of central
server failure.
5. A huge amount of client requests may overload the
server.
