Today we are going to discuss some Switched Networks. They have become quite popular lately. HUBS are devices that connects networked devices to each other. The problem with Hubs is that once one of them opens up to communicate with another, it opens up the port. Making it unusable for other Hubs in the network. A switching Hub can help remedy this problem. See it turns on a switch so it can connect the two hubs directly, and the other HUBS don’t have to deal with their communications and can communicate with other HUBS.
Now we’ve already discussed about LAN’s today let’s move on to WANs.
Now try to remember what we talked about with LAN’s. You see your company is now growing, all of your computers in your building are connected under a LAN. Now say that your company has expanded to all parts of the world. Your company needs to contact all of these other branches now, and try to communicate with one another. What to do? What to do? Well you can always set up a WAN. Which stands for Wide Area Network. It’s the same thing as a LAN but it has a larger geographical area! There are many great advantages to WAN’s. It’s easier to communicate, share, and organize data with other branches all across the states!
