In a local area network many things can control access. It depends whitch method is being used. In a tipical home network/internet envirement using a router, modem, and a client or multiple client pcs. In this case the modem calls for a DNS and IP witch allows right to the modem from the ISP servers. Next the router askes for the modem to forward the DNS protocals and ip to the router and turns the public IP to a Public and uses usually DHCP witch assingns attached devices a private ip witch usaully starts with a 192.168.1 or 0.2-255. and logs the Mac address from the clients. Next the client pcs configures with the DNS protocals and allows data transfers through open ports in the firewall.

A Storage Area Network (SAN) is a dedicated network of storage devices that are not otherwise accessible through the local network (e.g. there is no OS to interface with).
