Computer network LAN

In general, a computer network can be divided into three types, namely LAN (Local Area Network), MAN (Metropolitan Area Network), and the latter is a WAN (Wide Area Network). But we shall see this time is a computer network that has the smallest range among three, namely LAN (Local Area Network). Computer Network LAN is a computer network that consists of a few things to computers that have a limited range in a relatively narrow area. LAN network example that we often encounter is the LAN network in the cafe, library, Lab School, and others. LAN computer networks in general are mutually network used to connect multiple computers into a single entity in order to share data and resources such as a printer, scanner, modem at the same time. Network LAN LAN is also divided into traditional and modern LAN. The most fundamental difference in this network is in terms of speed of operation. Traditional LAN networks have a level of operating speeds range from 10 up to 100 Mbps (megabytes / second). While modern LAN network have an average speed that far surpasses it, which can reach speeds of up to hundreds of Mbps.

How to Make a Computer Network LAN

To be able to connect between computers, usually using a LAN network cable media. If the LAN network only consists of two computers we will only need a UTP cable by the connector at both ends.Connector we can get in a computer store, while a good idea to adjust the cable length distance between the location of one computer to another computer. Meanwhile, if we connect the computer to be in excess of two, then we will need an additional device that is often called Switch or HUB. And to make computers can communicate with each other.Then each computer must be given the IP address of each. To verify whether the LAN computer networking is successful, then we must examine one per satau to the entire computer. LAN computer network created not without purpose, but as a medium for the exchange of data / information, using resources at the same time within a computer network, as well as communication between computer users, and share the Internet connection that can be done easily and quickly. So what can we learn this time, a short, compact, and definitely not? Hopefully this brief discourse can make us understand more about the computer network LAN.
