Question #1:
You are the network administrator for a new company that has 10 users and that plans to add 5 more users within a year. The files need to be accessed by all 10 users, and each user must have different security rights.

What kind of network would you install? How would the pieces and components of this network relate to each other? Define each component.
.Answer #1: For this scenario I would use a server-client relationship. For this I would need a server to handle login and authentication, a second server for files (file server), I would probably have to create groups in which accounts are assigned and identified by. This would allow me to grant user profiles more, less or equal privileges to the server and it's contents. In order to interconnect all of these things a switch will be required.

Question #2: You are the network administrator for a company that has a peer-to-peer network.

How would the pieces and components of this network relate to each other? Define all the components of this type of network
Answer #2: Peer-to-peer networks are much different than server-client networks. The major difference is that in a peer-to-peer network there is no single server feeding data to the users. In a peer-to-peer network all of the machines involved communicate and share data amongst each other and have an equal role in the network.
Question #3: You are the administrator of a client-server environment.

What kind of network would you install? How would the pieces and components of this network relate to each other? Define each component of a typical client/server environment.
Answer #3: I feel as though I have answered this question with my response to question number one.

“For this scenario I would use a server-client relationship.
