Access server - router

 Access server - router This type of network is most often called routing, in which case the server performs the function of an Internet conductor with its own hands, it is dominated by the presence of several network cards (we will refer to network cards as INTERNET and LAN in the future). The home server itself is connected to the Internet via the INTERNET card, and the second LAN card is connected to the local network, where it is necessary to distribute the Internet. The task of the server itself in this case is to direct traffic to exactly those addresses of computers (clients) that need it. The access server can limit the capabilities of clients, for example, if we need to give Internet access only to certain computers, while others on the same network are used only as local ones. This feature of limiting the client's network capabilities is called a Firewall. Access Server Restrictions can be both in terms of speed and the permission of the client's access to the Interne...

File server - file

 File server - file




File servers exist on the network to store large amounts of information. In other words, it is a large disk connected to the network. To exchange files between an FTP client and a file server, the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) of the same name is used. It is this protocol that accounts for the largest part of the traffic in networks. with it we can upload documents, movies, pictures, software distributions, music files. It is by this protocol that we can: load the pages of our site on the Internet, connect computers to each other to exchange files (we open file sharing). The file server provides for user authorization to limit the use of resources, if necessary. As a rule, a do-it-yourself file server does not depend much on the power of the server itself (processor frequency, RAM size) and an outdated computer with increased disk space is quite suitable for its role. It is the HDD (hard disk) that is the most integral and main part of our file server, as a rule, there is more than one HDD in such servers. Of great interest is the presence of support for a RAID array, it is this function that allows you to make an independent copy of your data, and significantly reduces the possibility of losing it. This type of protection is widely used not only on file servers, but also in many others, but taking into account the fact that the FTP protocol is also used on others, as the main file exchange protocol in most servers. The presence of a RAID array is a guarantee of the safety of our data.

game server

The structural scheme of the network is no different from the structure of the game server and our connection with the file server can also work both in the local and Internet networks.
