in an office
- Workstations with
network cards or
wireless connectivity
- Connected via its own dedicated
cables or wireless devices, they
are owned by the company
- Often has shared
peripherals
- This is in a local area
geographically, such as
in an office
- Wide Area network
- This is over a
wide area
geographically
- External communication
hardware is needed such as
telephone lines, leased lines,
mobile phone lines. These are
used to connect the
computers.
- The internet is a WAN; computers are
connected via external comm links and the
information is shared through the WWW
- This offers e-mail, internet and
instant messaging
- To connect to the

- These computers in the VLAN
cannot communicate with the
others in the LAN if they are

through cables on a LAN do not affect the
data from the LAN or other virtual
networks
