Consider the following statements regarding Peer-to-Peer computing environment: 1. In this system, clients and servers are not distinguished from one another. 2. All nodes distributed throughout the system (within) are considered Peers and each may act as either a client or a server. 3. Peer-to-Peer system assuredly offers certain advantages over the traditional client-server system. 4. Peer-to-Peer system is just a replica of the file-server system. Which of the above statements are correct?

Client-server network:

In client-server network, clients and server are differentiated, specific server and clients are present. A centralized server is used to store the data because its management is centralized, and the server respond the services which is request by client.

Peer-to-Peer network:

This model does not differentiate the clients and the servers. Each and every node is itself client and server. Each and every node can do both request and respond for the services.

Peer-to-Peer have the following advantages over the traditional client-server system.

  • In client-server network, server respond the services which is request by client while in Peer-to-Peer network, Each and every node can do both request and respond for the services.
  • Peer-to-Peer network are less costlier than client-server network.

 

A file server is a server that provides access to files. It acts as a central file storage location that can be accessed by multiple systems. Peer-to-Peer is not a replica of the file-server system.

Your network contains 10 domain controllers, 10 member servers, and approximately 1,000 client computers. All the servers run Windows 2000 Server, and all the client computers run Windows 2000 Professional. Two of the domain controllers act as DNS servers. Users of client computers use file sharing to grant access to files stored locally. The network has 10 subnets and uses TCP/IP as the only network protocol. You want to configure the network so that all computers can resolve the addresses of all other computers by using DNS. Client computers must be able to register and resolve addresses if a server fails. How should you configure the DNS servers?
