VLAN Plan VLAN stands for Virtual Local Area Network is one of the latest network technologies that have been developed in the past few years. Local Area Network technologies are growing at an extremely fast pace and also the cost of the equipment required for implementing a secure network‚ has also become very expensive. The need for a cost effective networks but without compromising in network security and performance‚ paved the way for Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN)‚ which can meet the above

LOCAL AREA NETWORK (LAN) A Local area network is a network that is confined to a relatively small area. It is general limited to a geographic area such; school‚ writing lab‚ building‚ office‚ or hall. A local area network’s linkages usually are accomplished with either telephone‚ coaxial‚ or fiber-optic cables. This network are privately own networks with and angle building or campus of up to a few kilometers in size. They are widely used to connect personal computers and work situation in company

7. How do local area networks (LANs) differ from metropolitan area network (MAN)? A local area network (LAN) is a group of microcomputers located in the same general area. It covers a clearly defined small area‚ such as an office‚ home network ‚one floor or work area‚ a single building‚ or a group of buildings. While a metropolitan area network (MAN) connects LANs and BNs located in different areas to each other and to WANs. MANs typically span between three and 30 miles. For example a large university

As part of the network security team‚ we will be proving IDI with a network security plan to mitigate the vulnerabilities that have been discovered. A secure site will be set up with network intrusion detection and network protection systems will be available to access via the internal network. Policies will be presented for remote access and the use of VPN. Also contained within this report will be strategies for hardening the network and mitigating risks. An updated network layout with increased

_____1. A local area network is: a) a large central network that connects other networks in a distance spanning exactly 5 miles. b) a group of personal computers or terminals located in the same general area and connected by a common cable (communication circuit) so they can exchange information. c) a network spanning a geographical area that usually encompasses a city or county area (3 to 30 miles). d) a network spanning a large geographical area (up to 1000s

INTRODUCTION: A local area network (LAN) is a network of computers that interconnects computers in a limited or a small area such as a home‚ computer lab‚ school‚ or office building using the network media. The defining characteristics of LANs‚ is in contrast to the wide area networks (WANs)‚ including their higher data-transfer rates‚ smaller geographic area‚ and lack of a need for leased telecommunication lines. ARCNET‚ Token Ring and other technology standards have been used in the past‚ but
