Local area networks

Type pf networks Type of networks What it is? How it works? Local area network Local area network is a group of desktop computers linked through a network that are all located at a single business site. The LANS can have more than 100 users. Users can use printing and other kind of services needed through applications run on the lan server. Can be used as web server. It can also be shared to others at the same lan. Metropolitan area network Metropolitan area network is a high speed network designed

1) Server - A server is a computer or a device which is connected on a network that is managing all the network data. There are many types of servers, for example file server, database server, print server, etc. Client – A client is part of a client server, a client runs on a personal computer or in most cases on a work station and relies on the server to perform some of the operations. For example, an email client is an app that enables you to send and receive emails. Router – The router is a

Manufacturing NTC/411 October 27, 2014 Business Continuity Plan for Riordan Manufacturing Riordan Manufacturing is in need of a new network, this plan will develop a network that will benefit the business, the employees and the customers in a manner that will provide all of them with a smooth operating experience as well as to future proof the entire network. The Network will handle all incoming and outgoing traffic for both the employees on the intranet, as well as the customers on the external internet

explores the understanding of network technology concepts and their relations to establishing networks. In addition, this paper will cover the network architecture and the standards that must be address prior, during and finalization of a network. Before we can build any type of network, we must understand the network technology concepts and how to apply them to a network. By establishing a foundation to build upon, require checks and balances in order to have a successful network operational. There are

essential in order to dynamically determine the topology of the network and to detect failing links. Bridging control protocols may be used similarly in smaller networks or may be used in combination with routing.” Higginson & Shand (1997). Bridge and routers are applied in computer networking as they both connect two or more interrelated Local Area Networks (LAN) therefore creating an extension of the Local Area Network or a Wide Area Network. Bridges operates on MAC layer addresses and at the data link

Chapter – 17 Security Policies Notes • Security policy define constrain within which a network or system must operate. o Every organization has different policy based on their requirements. o The difference in security policies is based on the differences in security threats and asset values. • General Functional Policies o When strictly followed and combined with effective technical solutions, wireless local area network security policies can reduce intrusions, risks, and costs associated with intrusion

Assignment 1 Task 1 (P1, P3, P5 and M1) P1 - Computer Networks Different Types of Communication Devices Devices Router A router is a network device that routes packets to networks other than its own. Routers are almost like a bridge between networks. Most home use routers to connect their local network (their LAN) to the Internet (which is a wide-area network) with all-in-one devices with routers, modems and wireless access points built in. Routers decide where the best route to a destination is

teamwork, it allows employees to collaborate effectively from anywhere on the globe. Telecommunication in most businesses are no longer restricted to voice calls. With advancements in the latest telecommunication systems, that run on the same networks as video and data systems there are few limits with the use of telecommunication in the workplace. Companies can assimilate voice, data and video in refined message applications that advance productivity, partnership and customer service. Many

Wireless Area Networks Wireless technology has become an increasingly crucial part of today's world. From health care and retail to academia across the world, wireless systems are improving the rate and ease with which data is sent and received. Two specific examples of the wireless technology used today personally and professionally are local area networks (LAN) and personal area networks (PAN). A wireless local area network, or LAN is a flexible data communications
