Study Notes
System Administration
- System administration manages hardware and software systems.
- A system administrator monitors system health, allocates resources (like disk space), performs backups, and manages user accounts.
- System administrators also monitor system security.
Network Administration
- Network administration supports a network's smooth operation.
- Tasks include network design, installation, and evaluation.
- Regular backups are executed and administered.
- Accurate technical documentation is developed (e.g., network diagrams, cabling documents).
- Network resource access is authenticated.
- Troubleshooting assistance is provided.
- Network security, including intrusion detection, is managed.
Hardware and Software Configuration
- Building hardware configurations is a key task for both network and system administration.
- Configuring software is also a key task for both.
- These tasks are performed for users.
- Tasks are interdependent, and can't be viewed in isolation.
