6.1.1 Workstations
• Intercepts user data and application commands • Directs the command to either
• the local operating system or • the network interface card (NIC)
• Delivers transmissions from the network to the application
UNIX or Linux can also serve as a desktop operating system but are usually found on high-end computers

6.1.1 Workstations
1. A diskless workstation is a special computer that runs on a network.
2. It has no disk drives but otherwise is a normal computer.
3. Because they have no disk drives, it is not possible to upload data from the workstation or download anything to it.
4. A diskless workstation cannot pass a virus onto the network, nor can it be used to take data from the network by copying this information to a disk drive.
5. For this reason, such workstations are used in networks where security is paramount.

6.1.3 Client-server relationship
From a NETWORK point of view, any computer running TCP/IP (workstation or a server) is considered a host.
•In a typical file server environment, the client would retrieve large portions of the database files to process the files locally. •With client-server computing, the large database is stored, and the processing takes place on the server. •A relatively small amount of data or results might be passed across the network.
![Page 16: Module 6 – Introduction to Network Administration](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062307/555ae4e4d8b42a4c7d8b4715/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

6.1.4 Introduction to NOS
1. PerformanceA NOS must perform well at reading and writing files across the network between clients and servers. It must be able to maintain fast performance under heavy loads, when many clients are making requests. Consistent performance under heavy demand is an important standard for a NOS.
2. Management and monitoringThe management interface on the NOS server provides the tools for server monitoring, client administration, file, print, and disk storage management. The management interface provides tools for the installation of new services and the configuration of those services. Additionally, servers require regular monitoring and adjustment.
6.1.4 Introduction to NOS
![Page 18: Module 6 – Introduction to Network Administration](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062307/555ae4e4d8b42a4c7d8b4715/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

6.1.4 Introduction to NOS
3. SecurityA NOS must protect the shared resources under its control. Security includes authenticating user access to services to prevent unauthorized access to the network resources. Security also performs encryption to protect information as it travels between clients and servers.
4. ScalabilityScalability is the ability of a NOS to grow without degradation in performance. The NOS must be capable of sustaining performance as new users join the network and new servers are added to support them.
5. Robustness/fault toleranceA measure of robustness is the ability to deliver services consistently under heavy load and to sustain its services if components or processes fail. Using redundant disk devices and balancing the workload across multiple servers can improve NOS robustness.
6.1.4 Introduction to NOS

Windows 2000 Professional is not designed to be a full NOS. It does not provide a domain controller, DNS server, DHCP server, or render any of the services that can be deployed with Windows 2000 Server.
• Windows 2000 Server adds the normal server-specific functions. • It provides integrated connectivity with Novell NetWare, UNIX, and
AppleTalk systems and can also be configured as a communications server.
• Windows .NET Server is built on the Windows 2000 Server kernel to run enterprise-level web and FTP sites.
• Equivalent to Linux and UNIX server operating systems.
6.1.5 Microsoft NT, 2000, and .NET

• UNIX is the name of a group of operating systems that trace their origins back to 1969 at Bell Labs.
• Since its inception, UNIX was designed to support multiple users and multitasking.• It was originally sold to run powerful network servers, not desktop computers. • Solaris is currently the most widely used version of UNIX in the world for large
networks and Internet websites.
6.1.6 UNIX, Sun, HP, and LINUX
![Page 21: Module 6 – Introduction to Network Administration](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062307/555ae4e4d8b42a4c7d8b4715/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

6.1.6 UNIX, Sun, HP, and LINUX
• Linux is one of the most powerful and reliable operating systems in the world today.
• Linux has already made inroads as a platform for power users and in the enterprise server arena.
• Linux is less often deployed as a corporate desktop operating system.• Recent distributions of Linux have networking components built in for connecting
to a LAN, establishing a dialup connection to the Internet, or other remote network. • TCP/IP is integrated into the Linux kernel instead of being implemented as a
separate subsystem.

6.2.6 SNMP protocol
• Interaction between the manager and the agent is facilitated by (SNMP). • The term simple comes from the restricted number of message types that are
part of the initial protocol specification.
The initial protocol specification is referred to as SNMPv1
![Page 66: Module 6 – Introduction to Network Administration](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062307/555ae4e4d8b42a4c7d8b4715/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)

6.2.6 SNMP protocol
SNMPv2c addressed limitations in SNMPv1 introduced the GetBulkRequest message type and the addition of 64-bit counters to the MIB.
NMS has the ability to issue changes of a value in the managed device. This allows an administrator to configure a managed device using SNMP.
![Page 67: Module 6 – Introduction to Network Administration](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062307/555ae4e4d8b42a4c7d8b4715/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Oct-03 ©Cisco Systems - CCNA Semester 4 Version 3 Comp14 Mod6 – St. Lawrence College – Cornwall ON Canada – Clark slide 67
6.2.6 SNMP protocol
• The interaction between the manager and the managed device introduces traffic to the network.
• Aggressive monitoring strategies can negatively affect network performance.
• Bandwidth utilizations will go up, which may be an issue for WAN environments.
• Moreover, monitoring has a performance impact on the devices themselves being monitored, since they are required to process the manager requests.
• This processing should not take precedence over production services.
• A general rule is that a minimum amount of information should be polled as infrequently as possible.
• Determine which devices and links are most critical and what type of data is required.

6.2.6 SNMP protocol
Each SNMP message contains a clear text string, called a community string. The community string is used like a password to restrict access to managed devices.

6.2.8 RMON
• RMON was developed to overcome limitations in the capabilities of SNMP. SNMP can store only limited amounts of information (counters for overall traffic, number of errors, etc.), and, as it is a polled system, network loading is high.
• RMON on the other hand, provides much more detailed information and offers a simplified manner of data collection.
• RMON makes use of a client (like a Network Management Console, a Protocol Analyzer, or a Network Analyzer like the new Fluke Networks OptiView). The client then gathers the statistics from either one or more agents. These agents can be stand-alone RMON probes (located in strategic spots in the network) and/or embedded RMON agents in routers and switches.
• In total RMON specifies 10 services called RMON Groups. Not all devices have to support all services as some of the RMON groups require extensive overhead (memory and processor power). Most stand-alone RMON probes will typically support all services, but embedded RMON may be limited to only a few groups.
• The RMON client communicates directly to the RMON agent. RMON1 only collects data at the MAC level, so you will only get information on the captured packets by decoding them with a Protocol Analyzer. A switch will limit your view of the network.
• RMON2 has been developed to provide data on higher level protocols such as IP and IPX, and up through the stack to the applications layer.
• RMON2 provides full information on which protocols are being used on the network and the mix between them, standard RMON host and matrix information also for the network an applications layers, and a customizable history function that can be used for base-lining.

1. Statistics (OID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.1) This group provides basic statistics for the given network interface type on the probe. For example, it will collect a breakdown of packet sizes on the segment over time.
2. History (OID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.2) The history group is responsible for storing periodic samples of the segment for later analysis.
3. Alarm (OID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.3) Using preconfigured thresholds on the probe, this group can generate alarm events when a parameter surpasses a threshold.
4. Hosts (OID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.4) This group keeps track of the MAC addresses of the devices that are communicating on this segment.
5. HostTopN (OID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.5) This group is used to store data regarding the top "talkers" based on some criteria provided by the management station.
6. Matrix (OID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.6) This group holds a table that defines pairs of devices who are talking to one another.
7. Filter (OID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.7) This group allows a Network Manager to define one or more filters, based on a value and offset, for packets that want to be captured. The definition of that filter(s) exists in this group.
8. Capture Packets (OID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.8) This group requires the presence of the Filter group and provides a means of capturing packet flowing through the network interface for later review. This group actually stores the contents of each packet flowing into the interface and meeting the filter criteria.
9. Event (OID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.9) This group provides the mechanism for the device to generate events and alarms. It is basically the holding table for any events that occur on the device, either through configuration or exception.
