What are the technologies used for connecting LANs?
Ethernet, Token Ring and Wireless LAN using IEEE 802.11 are examples of standard LAN technologies.
What are the 2 most common technologies used to connect devices in a LAN?
Ethernet and Wi-Fi are the two most common technologies in use for local area networks.
What device connects multiple LANs?
Router: A router is a device that connects two distinct networks.
What is Multi LAN?
Multi-LAN Network A set of LANs treated as one Network, i.e., using one Network Number in common. The individual LANs may be either Explicit Subnets or Transparent Subnets. Network A single Internet Network (possibly divided into subnets or composed of multiple LANs), identified by an individual Network Number.
What are the types of LAN technology?
A standard Ethernet network can transmit data at a rate up to 10 Megabits per second (10 Mbps). Other LAN types include Token Ring, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI), Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) and LocalTalk.
What is the most popular LAN technology used today?
The most widely used LAN technology is the Ethernet and it is specified in a standard called IEEE 802.3. (Other types of LAN networking technologies include token ring and FDDI.)
How many types of LAN technologies are there?
What is an interconnection of LANs?
Interconnecting LANs in a campus network or even interconnecting LANs in wide area networks (WANs) incorporate similar concepts and issues. The campus network is a collection of two or more interconnected LANs, either within a building or housed externally in multiple buildings.
What connects LAN to LAN?
A hub or switch is a book-size box with a bunch of jacks for network cables. It serves as a wired connection point that links all your computers into a LAN. A router is similar to a hub or an access point (or both) with the addition of internet-connection smarts, like a firewall.
What are the benefits of a multi LAN environment?
