A Laboratory for Experimenting with Operating Systems and Networking Concepts

这个项目增加了一个重要的实验室组成部分，由计算机科学系教授的两个类：操作系统和网络和数据通信。 这两门课程有一个共同的需要实验为基础的，实验室的经验。 新实验室有六个不同配置的工作站和一个文件服务器。 该实验室位于自己的子网中，与通用实验室隔离，同时保留对其打印机和其他服务的访问权限。 它被配置为每台机器有两个磁盘。 每台机器上的第二个磁盘是用于实验的--它可以被操纵，甚至被丢弃，而不会损坏实验室的设置或通用实验室。 该系统尽可能多样化，机器来自四个不同级别的工作站。 每个类的配置不同，具有不同的要求，并用于不同的目的。 网络媒体是不同的和多种多样的。 正在开展工作，以支持机器重新安装的自动化。 学生负责机器的重新安装。 该项目构建了一个实验室环境来教授操作系统和网络，为每个课程制作了一套实验室手册-电子超文本和硬拷贝形式-并制作了一套新的软件，以促进实验室实验。

This project adds a crucial laboratory component to two classes taught by Department of Computer Science: Operating Systems and Networking and Data Communications. These two courses have a common need for experimentation-based, laboratory experience. The new laboratory has six workstations of various configurations plus a file server. This lab exists on its own subnet, isolated from the general purpose lab while retaining access to its printers and other services. It is configured so that each machine has two disks. The second disk on each machine is provided for experimentation--it can be manipulated and even trashed without damaging the laboratory setup or the general purpose lab. The system is as diverse as possible, with machines from four different classes of workstation. Each class is configured differently, has different requirements, and is used for different purposes. The networking media are different and varied. Work is being done to support the automation of machine reinstallation. Students are responsible for machine reinstallation. This project constructs a laboratory environment to teach Operating Systems and Networking, produces a set of laboratory manuals for each of these classes--both in electronic hypertext and hardcopy forms--and produces a set of new software, developed to facilitate the laboratory experiments.
