What else can I help you with?
Can repeaters be used by administrators to segment their LAN?
No, because a repeater does not supply any network isolation - it merely extends the segment distance limitation.
Can switches be used by administrators to segment their LAN?
Not really - they operate at the Data Link layer using the MAC address and therefore don't really segment a network. There are some managed switches that can do this or by using VLAN configurations, but ordinary switches will not really segment a LAN.
Which Layer 1 devices can be used to enlarge the area covered by a single LAN segment?
hub is the device that is used to extend the lan segment and used at layer1 that is physical layer.
Which layer 1 device can be used to enlarge the area covered by single LAN segment?
hub is the device that is used to extend the lan segment and used at layer1 that is physical layer.
Why are network bridges important?
Bridges can connect together different types of media, and they can also segment parts of a LAN, so that traffic that originates in one segment and is destined for the same segment will stay in that segment rather than being repeated to other parts of the network that don't need to see the packet. As a common example of a bridge, consider that the WAP (wireless access point) is a bridge; it bridges radio frequencies with wired Ethernet connections.
What are the protocols that can span more than one LAN or LAN segment are?
routable
Can you use repeater in LAN?
Yes - a repeater would be used to extend the distance of the LAN segment. Repeaters were used primarily in coaxial copper networks but are rarely found in LANs anymore.
How does a router do?
the router filter & forward the data segment from one lan to another lan
Which layer 1 devices can be used extend the area covered by a single LAN segment?
Repeaters and hubs
What type of special computer connects one Lan to another Lan?
A LAN Bridge. It is not a special computer per say. A LAN bridge connects two or more LANs at layer two in the OSI network model. The LAN bridge receives packets from a LAN segment connected to one port and forwards them to another LAN segment connected to a different port. While a LAN bridge serves the purpose of extending network range, it also relieves the problem of congestion that multiple devices can cause on a single Ethernet segment.
What must be configured the same on each node that resides in a LAN segment?
The subnet mask must be the same for all devices in the same LAN segment. The IP addresses must be unique (different). Also, the default gateway address is usually the same for all devices in the same LAN segment.
Why a lan user can not monitor the internet?
The simple answer is that a LAN user (client) will not see all of the packets on the Internet; they will only see the packets for their own LAN segment.
