Two kinds of Ethernet cables Straight Through and Crossover



STRAIGHT THROUGH


Ethernet cables are the standard cable used for almost all purposes, and are often called "patch cables". It is highly recommend you duplicate the color order as shown on the picture. Note how the green pair is not side-by-side as are all the other pairs. This configuration allows for longer wire runs.


CROSSOVER CABLES 



The purpose of a Crossover Ethernet cable is to directly connect one computer to another computer (or device) without going through a router, switch or hub.

What is an AntiVirus Software?

Image
Antivirus (or anti-virus ) software is used to prevent, detect, and remove malware, includingcomputer viruses, worms, and trojan horses. Such programs may also prevent and remove adware,spyware, and other forms of malware. A variety of strategies are typically employed. Signature-based detection involves searching for known malicious patterns in executable code. However, it is possible for a user to be infected with new malware for which no signature exists yet. To counter such so-called zero-day threats,heuristics can be used. One type of heuristic approach, generic signatures, can identify new viruses or variants of existing viruses by looking for known malicious code (or slight variations of such code) in files. Some antivirus software can also predict what a file will do if opened/run by emulating it in asandbox and analyzing what it does to see if it performs any malicious actions. If it does, this could mean the file is malicious. However, no matter how useful antivirus software...

Diskless Workstations Advantage and Disadvantages

Image
A diskless workstation or PC on a local-area network (LAN) is a computer system that does not have its own disk. Instead, it stores files on a network file server. This type of system uses network booting to load the operating system, but it does contain its own main components including the CPU, RAM, video, sound and network adapter (see "workstation" for a description of common components). Diskless workstations can reduce the overall cost of a LAN because one large-capacity disk drive is usually less expensive than several low-capacity drives. In addition, diskless workstations can simplify backups and security because all files are in one place -- on the file server. Also, accessing data from a large remote file server is often faster than accessing data from a small local storage device. One disadvantage of diskless workstations, however, is that they are useless if the network fails. Advantages of Diskless Setup Significantly reduce initial capital and implementation co...
