Definition Configuration
Configuration of a network is the arrangement of each of its functional units by their nature, number, and chief characteristics. Often, configuration pertains to the choice of hardware, software, firmware, and documentation.
[Configuration] When referring to the computer-type configuration, we are talking about that group of data and information that characterizes different elements of a computer, such as programs, applications, or hardware/software elements. The configuration is what makes each part of the computer fulfill a specific function because it is what eventually defines it.
The [configuration] of a program or element of the computer is usually predated and is pre-existing to its installation. This configuration will determine how through what means and with what resources the aspect will work. But this set of information can get altered if deemed necessary (both to correct an error and to give new functions or redefine the element in different modes).
Types of Configurations
There are two main types of configuration
Default and custom settings, a custom [configuration] is user-specific. Except in some cases, it is never good to maintain a default [configuration] since, in addition to not following our interests or needs, it can also get altered by external agents such as viruses and hackers. Instead, the custom configuration will transform the item in question into something much more useful as well as secure.
It is also important to note that [configuration]s (both default and custom) can eventually lead to errors. It is usually related to writing mistakes in the definition of the [configuration] elements. When the [configuration] is incorrect, the program or item will work incorrectly; the user has to configure the system as soon as possible.
