In LAN we can add as many system depending upon the number of ports in switch and how many switches you are using.
LAN can be connected by routers . A router can be used to connect to LAN's .a LAN to a WAN and LAN to Internet.
The problem is in the mechanism which is used to connect computers. If you use shared LAN (hubs) it means that if you have 10BaseT connection it will shared among all connected computers. Thus you have 10 Mbps available for all computers together. When you are using 10BaseT switched, it means that each computer in your network will have a separate connection of 10 Mbps.
1. To perform the control of access to media. 2. It performs the unique addressing to stations directly connected to LAN. 3. Detection of error.
LAN users get access to internet or can communicate with others LAN connected to WAN.
unless that lan is connected to a router that is connected to a modem that can access internet... it would make no sense
Its LAN
It's a definition but, such network belongs to LAN.
depends on port and switch or if address s like 192..168.255 then 253 system can be connected to LAN
Depending on the LAN topology, some LAN segments may be limited to as few as 30 clients total, whereas other topologies can handle 1024 or more on a single LAN. More than that and you would need to go to multiple LANs connected via a router.
LAN
Network topology is the manner in which the physical components of a LAN are connected together. Network topology can be either physical or logical.
Doesn't matter if your connected to a LAN or not. The MAC address is hard coded into the NIC and does not change unless software on the computer requires that it changes.
