What device is used to connect LANs that are separated by great distances?
To connect LANs that are separated by great distances, a router is typically used. Routers can manage traffic between different networks and facilitate communication over long distances, often utilizing various types of connections such as leased lines, fiber optics, or even wireless links. Additionally, VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) may also be employed to securely connect remote LANs over the internet.
Who interconnect LANS?
LANs can be of wireless or wired type.In wireless LAN access points can be used tointerconnect the LANs and to Connect wired LANs bridges can be used. By naghma
What hardware devices do LANS use?
Network cards are used to connect a personal computer to a LAN. A computer with a network card can be a network participant.Hubs are used to connect participants (PCs and other LAN devices).Bridges are used to connect parts of LAN with each other. Possibly because they operate on a different medium (copper wire, glass fibre).Routers are used to connect networks with each other (LANs with other LANs; LANs with the internet, etc.)Switches are a mix between Hub and Bridge.
A router can connect any combunation of lans and wans?
Yes, it can.
Can a switch be used to connect two lans with different network ids?
Yes, a switch can be used to connect two LANs with different network IDs, but it requires some additional configuration. Typically, switches operate at Layer 2 (Data Link Layer) and do not route traffic between different network IDs. To enable communication between the two LANs, a router or a Layer 3 switch would be needed to handle the routing of packets between the different subnets.
What will be the future of the LAN?
The Local Area Network? It might help to start with the present. At present we're using LANs to communicate between computers at home and at work. LANs connect to each other and make WANs, or, as is the case at home usually, they connect to the Internet through a firewall. This architecture is proven and probably will not change in the foreseeable future. But with IPv6 coming out, we will have the ability to connect more computers directly to each other. So, my guess is that in the future LANs will be faster and use IPv6. I know, it's a safe bet.
What AWG ratings do LANs use?
LANs use AWG ratings between 22 and 26
What is the most importand function of a router?
A router is a device that forwards data packets along networks. A router is connected to at least two networks, commonly two LANs or WANs or a LAN and its ISP's network. Routers are located at gateways, the places where two or more networks connect, and are the critical device that keeps data flowing between networks and keeps the networks connected to the Internet.
Similarities between LANS and WANS?
Similarities between LANS and WANS is that they are both networks and can cover small geographical areas.
How many point-to-point WANs are needed to connect n LANs if each LAN should be able to directly communicate with any other LAN?
To connect ( n ) LANs such that each LAN can directly communicate with any other LAN, you need ( \frac{n(n-1)}{2} ) point-to-point WANs. This is because each LAN requires a dedicated connection to every other LAN, and since communication is bidirectional, each pair of LANs is connected by one WAN link. Thus, the formula accounts for all unique pairs of LANs.
What are these networks that connect LANs in geographically separated locations called?
WAN ( Wide Area Network )
Lans can be connected bydevices called?
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.
