We will begin by defining what a network is. To define a computer network it is a collection of interconnected devices capable of sharing meaningful information and resources with one another. On this network computers can communicate with other computers on the network. Computers can be very powerful when they 're connected to one another in a data network that allows them to share data even it will allows the computer to be connected to the outside so that they will be able to share data geographically wide areas. A network usually has several computers on the network and they are usually connected by a communication device such as a router or a switch these are also known as Network devices. These type of devices include routers, firewalls, gateways, switches, hubs, to create the local area networks. Network devices allow computers to talk to other computers outside of their network or LAN.
The LAN or “local area network” is a network that connects computer and devices that are in a limited are such as a home, school and/or office building.
The WAN or “wide area network” is a network that covers a span of a large distances. This could be several office buildings spread all over the country on the same network. The communication with these devices can be done by lease phone lines, internet, …show more content…
This home network consist of a router and two computers a printer, fax, cisco IP phone, camera, printer and ASDL modem connected together to form a local area network (LAN). This home network has internet access. It also has a router which allows communication to the outside world but also allows the greater security and or firewalls to be set up. This will only allowing specified traffic in or out on this LAN. The owners have set this up to interconnect multiple computers so that each can share files, programs, printers, other peripheral devices, and Internet access with other
