Network Tools

Network Tools Tools are needed to diagnose issues with a network and figure out what could be wrong with them. IPconfig Is a command on windows' command line that gives you information on you Ping Is another command on windows used to send a packet to a outside client either through the internet or through your local network Tracert A traceroute, also called tracert, is a network testing term that shows a network connection's real-time path a packet takes to reach a network resource. It examines the hops that communication will follow across the IP network. Backup Copying data to a separate location to preserve the data that you are afraid could be compromised Wireshark Used to scan a network and look at all the packets being send in and out of the network.

DHCP

DHCP This is an example of a DHCP enabled server. The server is assigned the first ip in this case (19.168.0.1) and it then uses the subnet mask (255.255.255.0) and the start ip address (192.168.0.3) to assign ip address for each of the different clients. This makes it significantly easier for people who need to setup large scale networks without assigning individual ips. HTML  &  DNS Services On the server you must be able to direct traffic to a specific location when requesting for a certain IP, in this case (192.168.0.1). I have set this up as a n A record, which is a fundamental type of DNS record that maps a domain name to the IP address of the computer hosting the domain. When a computer then requests the IP address the DNS service then redirects it to the HTTP service.

Business Context Part 8

Banking Payments Credit Card: Credit cards work like mini loans you have a spending cap on a credit card. You must pay back everything you paid for using it by the end of the month otherwise you will accumulate debt. You accumulate debt when you don't pay back what you owe and the bank adds a percentage of the money you owe back on to the total amount, so you now owe the bank more money. Debt Card: Debt Cards are not like credit cards, instead of having a spending cap, you instead put your own money directly into your account, which you can then spend online Cash by mail: Very self-explanatory you send the amount that is owed in the mail Any payment made with vendor using Debt cards or credit cards, means the vendor will have to pay a fee to the credit or debt card provider.

Communication Channels

Communicating to a technical user When communicating to a technical user I would use more technical language that they will be able to understand. This makes it easier for the technical user to understand what I need them to do. For example i might say that to make a minecraft server you must port forward Communicating with a non-technical user When communicating to a non-technical user we need to be aware that most people are not going to be able to understand technical language so it is important to break down these technical aspects into easier to understand bite size chunks. For example i might say to make a minecraft server you need to go into your router and port forward, this means you are allowing people to access your minecraft server through that port you have assigned. Types of Communication Insecure Snapchat, Instagram, Gmail (any email), Facebook, Whatsapp or any service that doesn't explicitly say they have high encryption techniques can be considered insecure forms o...
