A local area network (LAN) is a computer network that interconnects computers in a limited area such as a home, school, computer laboratory, or office building.
Traditional network designs focus on physical locations of equipment and personnel for addressing and LAN segment placement. Because of this there are a few significant drawbacks:
1.Network segments for physically disjointed organizations cannot be part of the same address space. Each physical location must be addressed independently, and be part of its own broadcast domain. This can force personnel to be located in a central location, or to have additional latency or connectivity shortfalls.
2· Relocations of personnel and departments can become difficult, especially if the original location retains its network segments. Relocated equipment will have to be reconfigured based on the new network configuration
To overcome this the VLAN concept came in. If you see correctly VLAN is a LAN with high flexibility as it is virtual

What is true about vlan?
VLAN is a custom network which is created from one or more local area networks. It enables a group of devices available in multiple networks to be combined into one logical network. The result becomes a virtual LAN that is administered like a physical LAN. The full form of VLAN is defined as Virtual Local Area Network.
Is there a program that can make a LAN connection through the internet?
The type of network your asking about is called a VPN (Virtual Private Network) or a VLAN (Virtual LAN). A VLAN acts like an ordinary LAN, but connected devices don't have to be physically connected to the same segment. LogMeIn Hamachi lets you setup a virtual LAN connection on both PCs and Macs through the internet. The software is free for non-commercial use, never expires, and will let you set up your virtual LAN connection in less then 10 minutes.

What is VLANs and how they differ from traditional local area networks?
A Virtual LAN is basically a group of IPs on the same subnet. In other words you would link 2 switches from different locations like it's on the same LAN. A LAN is just a local network that consist of local clients only. The method of linking to VLANs together is called Truncking 802.1Q
What is virtual in a VLAN?
VLAN stands for Virtual LAN. It is called as such because you are essentially creating "virtual" networks on the same physical piece of hardware. Imagine a network switch with 20 ports. You could assign the first 5 to VLAN1, the next to VLAN2, and so on. You would end up with 4 segregated networks, but on the same physical switch. The virtual in VLAN is referring to the fact that there is nothing phsically separating the ports on the switch, it is done "virtually".
What Is the manner in which the physical components of a LAN are connected together?
Network topology is the manner in which the physical components of a LAN are connected together. Network topology can be either physical or logical.
When using virtual box could your physical computer get a virus?
No, If you have viruses on Virtual PC than it won't affect physical computer, except you transfer data from virtual box to Physical.
Compare virtual and physical keyboard?

What is deffernce between virtual and physical memory?
The difference between virtual and physical memory is that virtual memory refers to memory space while physical memory are chips like RAM. The memory space for virtual memory is made by operating system when there is insufficient physical memory.
What is the process of physical to virtual?
Physical-to-Virtual, also known as "P2V", describes the process of decoupling and migrating a physical server's operating system, applications, and data from a physical server to a virtual machine guest hosted on a virtualized platform.
