So from which port of the server should i connect to the switch.<br />
<br />
I mean how should i login to the servers from my home so that i can make any changes if necessary in the future.

So from which port of the server should i connect to the switch.

I mean how should i login to the servers from my home so that i can make any changes if necessary in the future.

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have 6 Rackable systems servers with 2 TB storage capacity( SATA DRIVES) in it. I have installed Cent OS (64 bit) in &nbsp;all the servers. I have the following questions:<br />
<br />
<b>PLEASE FIND THE ATTACHED PHOTO OF THE SERVERS</b><br />
<br />
1. How do i connect the servers to each other so that they can communicate( Should I use an 8 port switch or they can be connected to each other (because it has 3 ethernet ports and 1 serial port).<br />
<br />
2. If they can be connected to each other which ports should i use.<br />
<br />
3. How they can be connected to the internet connection ( Is it by connecting the ethernet cable to the server serial port)<br />
<br />
4. How should i unable the remote login for all the 6 servers

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.

Server Hardware

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.

Networking Hardware-Other

Remote access may refer to the connection to a data-processing system from a remote location, for example through a virtual private network remote desktop software, terminal emulation, or the activation of features of a business telephone system from outside the business's premises.
