What else can I help you with?
Can bridges be used by administrators to segment their LAN?
This is one of the reasons for using a bridge - it supplies LAN segment isolation by not forwarding packets it knows will be delivered in the same segment.
Which layer 1 devices can be used extend the area covered by a single LAN segment?
Repeaters and hubs
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.
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.
How would a repeater be used in an Ethernet segment?
Repeaters are usually used in coaxial based ethernet networks. For this purpose they are used to extend the length of a network segment. For example, in a 10base2 ethernet network the maximum length of a segment is 180 meters. A repeater could join two segments together to increase the length of the network and the number of clients in the network. In today's modern networks you will see neither coaxial networks nor repeaters in a LAN. Repeaters are used for DSL transmissions, but not for LANS.
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.
If we can attend the LAN then why we need a WAN?
We can extend LAN by using repeaters. If we increase LAN by using large number of repeaters than this arrangement does not guarantees sufficient signal strength. Each repeater and segment along the path increases the delay. If the delay becomes too large scheme fails. In fact, repeaters are part of the Ethernet standard, which specifies that the network will not operate correctly if more than four repeaters separate any pair of stations. i. If we can extend the LAN then why we need a WAN? ii. How can a bridge know whether to forward frames? iii. Can the length of an Ethernet be increased to many segments of 500 meter each merely by adding a repeater to connect each additional segment? iv. How can a computer attach to a network that sends and receives bits faster than the computer's CPU can handle them?

What are the protocols that can span more than one LAN or LAN segment are?
routable
How does a router do?
the router filter & forward the data segment from one lan to another lan
