Chapter 6 - IDENTIFY THE PURPOSE OF PLANNING NETWORK NAME AND ADDRESS

By Anonymous

Network name and Address


• As a network grows in size and complexity, it becomes increasingly important that it is well planned, logically organized and well documented.

• Many organizations develop conventions for naming and addressing of computers. These provide guidelines and rules that can be used by network support personnel when performing these tasks.

• Computer names must be unique and should have a consistent format that conveys meaningful information. This can help to determine device type, function, location and sequence number based on the device name. IP addresses must also be unique to each device.

• The use of logical device naming and addressing conventions that are well documented can greatly simplify the task of training, network management and can help with troubleshooting when problems arise.

Define Swapping technique which is usually used in memory management

By
  Define Swapping technique which is usually used in memory management   Swapping is a simple memory/process management technique used by the operating system(os) to increase the utilization of the processor by moving some blocked process from the main memory to the secondary memory(hard disk);thus forming a queue of temporarily suspended process and the execution continues with the newly arrived process.   After performing the swapping process, the operating system has two options in selecting a process for execution Swapping is a mechanism in which a process can be swapped temporarily out of main memory to a backing store , and then brought back into memory for continued execution. Backing store is a usually a hard disk drive or any other secondary storage which fast in access and large enough to accommodate copies of all memory images for all users. It must be capable of providing direct access to these memory images. Major time cons...

Operating Systems Definition and the Classification of OS

By
             OPERATING SYSTEMS ( OS ) What is an operating system? An operating system (sometimes abbreviated as "OS") is the program that, after being initially loaded into the computer by a boot program, manages all the other programs in a computer. The other programs are called applications or application programs. The application programs make use of the operating system by making requests for services through a defined application program interface (API). In addition, users can interact directly with the operating system through a user interface such as a command language or a graphical user interface (GUI). An operating system performs these services for applications:     In a multitasking operating system where multiple programs can be running at the same time, the operating system determines which applications should run in what order and how much time should be allowed for each application before g...

3.1.1 Identify Between Resident And Transient Routines

By
Memory Management Memory management is concerned with managing: The computer’s available pool of memory Allocating space to application routines and making sure that they do not interfere with each other. 3.1.1 Identify between resident and transient routines The operating system is a collection of software routines. Resident routines Transient routines Routines that directly support application programs as they run Stored on disk and read into memory only when needed Example: routine that control physical I/O Example: routine that formats disks The operating system occupies low memory beginning with address 0. Key control information comes first followed by the various resident operating system routines. The remaining memory, called the transient area, is where application programs and transient operating system routines are loaded. Resident & transient routines structure...
