Local Area Network (LAN)
Raptor Networks distributed network switching technology allows users to upgrade their traditional networks with LAN and WAN switches that allow for the management of high-bandwidth applications. Call (888) 255-5859 for more information.
A wireless LAN uses radio waves to communicate, eliminating the need for wires.
Each LAN has its own unique topology, or geometric arrangement.
Most LANs are confined to a single building or group of buildings.
Universal components consist of the physical media that connect devices, interfaces on the individual devices that connect to the media, protocols that transmit data across the network, and software that negotiates, interprets, and administers the network and its services.
A local area network (LAN) supplies networking capability to a group of computers in close proximity to each other such as in an office building, a school, or a home.
On a LAN usually the server has applications and data storage that are shared in common by multiple computer users.
LAN protocols function at the lowest two layers of the OSI reference model.
A LAN is a group of computers and peripherals in a close area that are connected to share information and resources.
A LAN logical topology does not have to match its physical topology. For example, in most token ring networks the network may be set up as a physical star, with the data and wiring passing through a hub. However, data are transmitted from workstation to workstation, passing through the hub, using the logical ring topology.
