Exam question: "What is a server FOR and AGAINST?"

Question

Computer networks

What is a server FOR and AGAINST?

Answer 1

Obviously, the question asks what a server is, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of using a server (in comparison, for example, with a personal computer): FOR - that it is available around the clock and has power backup, CONS - that it is difficult to install and configure, often does not have a keyboard and monitor, it is not clear how to use it at all.

Answer 2

Perhaps a problem with PUNCTUATION missing a COMMA

Answer 3

Is this really a question for an exam? O_o

Answer 4

And for me personally 162 the question "blew my brain": "What are custom extensions and their role in protection?"
Extensions of what? Protect from what?
This is despite the fact that questions 161 and 164 are quite “answerable” ...

Answer 5

I am writing a piece of the correct answer:
as far as I remember, this is a “joke” question for those who did not go to lectures well.
There is no such server "Against".
and "FOR" should be read as "three-A".
and list some three classifications/categories starting with the letter "A".
I don't remember exactly, it was a long time ago.

Answer 6

You are still lucky that you didn’t get the question “How to deceive your boss?” or "How to protect yourself from information" and his other nonsense.

Answer 7

Maybe the question was asked incorrectly?

Answer 8

I can assume what is meant by:
1. The definition of a server in general
2. The pros and cons of each specific architecture (client server, file server ...)
