Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A network operating system (NOS) is specifically designed to manage and coordinate network resources. It provides functions such as authentication, authorization, file sharing, and network administration. Switches route network traffic, firewalls provide security, servers provide specific services such as file storage or email, and a hotspot is a physical location where wireless internet access is available. While these components are important for a network, only a NOS specifically coordinates and manages resources on the network.
