Question

In your own words, describe what is meant by “fault tolerance” in a network, and give an example of how it could be implemented in a small office LAN with 25 workstations and two servers, including Internet access for the workstations, but not the internal servers.

Answer 1

Answers:-

Fault Tolerance

• Fault Tolerance is a kind of system ability to handle interruption when the system's some components fail during it's operations.
• Fault Tolerance can be used in various systems such as network system, computer systems, cloud cluster system.
• Fault Tolerance is important feature for all the systems because it give uninterrupted services to each and every systems.
• Also fault tolerance system uses system backup components if any component fails it automatically assigned backup component in the place of failed components.

Following are the steps to implement fault tolerance system to LAN with 25 stations and two servers:

• To create the fault tolerance system firstly create the failure point list in the small office of 25 stations.
• Second, for better connectivity maintain the  physical network connectivity.
• Third, plan the wiring as per the small office of 25 stations.
• Final step is that implement or create the network redundant systems to avoid network issue.
