The notion and function of the Samba Server

The notion and function of the Samba Server 

have you ever heard the term Samba Server or a Samba Server what functions? In the article I will share a brief theory regarding the notion and function of the Samba Server. Simple quote from the Wikipedia site: Samba is a program which is an open source file sharing service that provides (file service) and shared printers (print service), NetBIOS name resolution, and service announcements (NetBIOS service announcement/browsing). As an application file server, Samba allows files, printers, and some other resources to be used by many users in the UNIX operating system family, and allow interoperability with Windows operating systems

In regards to the process of sharing data or use of data services together, we not only can use the FTP protocol (File Transfer Protocol) which I discussed earlier in the article how to make a FTP Server on Debian 8. But we can also rely on a program that runs on the UNIX family of operating systems, commonly called SAMBA.

Surely some of you have a lot of data-sharing features that utilize or printer on a microsoft windows operating system with the goal of access data or the printer together with some reason. Now what if we want to create a server for data-sharing with family-based operating systems UNIX? In this case we can use the Protocol that is owned by the samba server running on the UNIX family of operating systems

Understanding The SAMBA SERVER

Samba is a program with a client server protocol bridging the process of provision of the services to share data or documents between the UNIX family of operating systems with microsoft windows operating systems, and allows us to be able to use a supported resource together in a network.

Samba Server application is running under a UNIX-family operating systems platforms by using the SMB protocol or Service Message Block Protocol which is also used by the microsoft windows operating system that also has a function as a network client server in the process of use of data with the resource that wants to be enabled simultaneously.

The Function Of The SAMBA SERVER

From the above sense can we take a bit of a conclusion that the Samba Server to function as a bridge in the process of data sharing or resource with other hosts that are in a network.

Samba Server to function as a liaison between the UNIX family of operating systems with microsoft windows operating systems in bridge file sharing or printer sharing, document sharing and other devices that support the.
Samba Server can also function as a PDC or a Primary Domain Controller in order to perform validation to any client who joined in a single domain, his simple user that has permission to access a resource that is provided only by user already registered on a specified domain only
The SAMBA PROGRAM Advantages

Are Free or free
Easily configured and easy to use
A good performance in terms of sharing resource
Seldom experiencing constraints
Support in various operating systems of UNIX family


So a little explanation of the notion and function of the Samba Server which I auto summary from various sources, hopefully this article can benefit and add new knowledge for us all

Usability Of Wireless Tools Mikrotik

Usability Of Wireless Tools Mikrotik Explanation of the use of Wireless Tools-Mikrotik Mikrotik Router has Wireless functionality and features that we can take advantage of for communication between devices with Mikrotik wireless communication using the media. But not all Mikrotik Wireless feature can use this, because not all types of Mikrotik is no Wireless Card. Usability Of Wireless Tools Mikrotik Call it Mikrotik RB 750 who only got 5 ethernet interface and without the wireless interface because there is no wireless card. Specific to Mikrotik Pool, most could use Wireless because it features a Mini PCI slot is available for the wireless card. OK, this time we will learn wireless wireless usage i.e. Mikrotik tools standard Mikrotik. Wireless tools is very important in building wireless networks with mikrotik, to monitor and monitor the condition of the wireless network around the US. To use the wireless tools, you can use the winbox and into the Wireless menu. ...

Discussion Of The RoMon Mikrotik

Discussion Of The RoMon Mikrotik RoMON was abbreviated from the Router Management Overlay Network which is a new feature on Mikrotik RouterOS version 6.28. This may still feature RoMON alien to You, because it is available in a new version of RouterOS and WinBox. Well, to find out more what it RoMON Mikrotik, let's discuss in this article. The Meaning Of The RoMON What is RoMON? RoMON (Router Management Overlay Network) is a Mikrotik proprietary protocol (the protocol is only supported on devices Mikrotik), which can make the connection secure layer2 (secure) to MikroTik devices either through Physical connection ( Ethernet) or Layer2 Tunnel.  In addition, RoMON also has the following features: Discovery and management MikroTik devices via Ping, SSH, Winbox (version 3.0. rc 9 and above). Able to do discovery (search) the MikroTik devices enable RoMON which has gone through multiple hops. So with this we can detect RoMON device on WinBox Mikrotik Mikrotik dev...

Select Switching or Bridging of Master/Slave Port?

This question may arise when we want to create multiple interfaces at the Mikrotik to be one segment. There are some options that we can use, including IE can use Bridging techniques or use the Switching harness mode Master Slave port and Port. Both give the same results as if, but actually there is a difference. The configuration of the Master/Slave Switch Port using a special switching chip embedded on RouterBoard, so as not to overload the CPU. Mikrotik will not get too big a burden of switching on the CPU even though his passing traffic is very high. The illustrations were like in the picture above. From the illustration above pictures it can be seen that acts as a Master Port eth2 and eth3-5 as a Slave Port that uses the switching chip.
