    Assignment 1- John Dearden


    Kane Oldfield 115678
    Wired network
    Explain about wired networks
    The computer network is made up of two or more computer devices that are connected to
    one and other to share information and resources.

    Advantages
    It is flexible, it is easy to use, it is secure and it is reliable and fast.
    Disadvantages
    It loses mobility, it needs installation, it has wires, it needs maintenance and it has high
    cost.
    Wireless network

    Explain about wireless networks.

    A wireless network is a computer network that uses wireless data connections


    between network nodes.

    Advantages

    Is has increased mobility, it has easier network expansion and it has cost effective

    Disadvantages

    It need more additional hardware, it is prone to interference and it is less secure


    Features of LAN network
    Explain in detail about the LAN network

    Network size is limited to a small geographical area, presently to few kilometers. Data transfer rate is generally high.
    They range from 100 mbps to 1000 mbps.

    LAN network diagram

    Define physical topology

    Physical topology refers to the interconnection structure of a local area network (LAN). The method employed to connect
    the physical devices on the network with the cables, and the type cabling used, all constitute the physical topology
    Features of WAN network
    Explain in detail about the WAN network

    A wide area network is a telecommunications network that extends over a large geographical area.

    WAN network diagram

    Define physical topology

    A wide area network (WAN) topology describes the layout of a network components and connections on a
    given WAN. although WAN design can appear complex, most such networks are based around one of a few
    simple topologies.
    Advantages of LAN

    Advantages of LAN

    Hardware and software can be shared. Does not cost too much. Private
    ownership. All the user work can be stored in a central place hub. Separate
    component.
    Disadvantage of LAN

    It covers a small geographic area. A virus can be spread more easily. High degree
    of maintenance. A constant need for an upgrade. Printing can be too much slow,
    long print queues may develop.
    Advantages of WAN

    WAN cover larger geographical area. Hence business offices situated at longer
    distances can easily communicate. Like LAN, it allows sharing of resources and
    application softwares among distributed workstations or users.
    Disadvantage of WAN

    Initial investment costs are higher. It is difficult to maintain the network. It requires
    skilled technicians and network administrators. There are more errors and issues
    due to wide coverage and use of different technologies.
