A Local Area Network definition can be given as a LAN
comprises cables, access points, switches, routers, and other components that
enable devices to connect to internal servers, web servers, and other LANs via
wide area networks.
The rise of virtualization has also fueled
the development of virtual LANs, which enable network administrators to
logically group network nodes and partition their networks without a need for
major infrastructure changes.
For
example, in an office with multiple departments, such as accounting, IT
support, and administration, each department's computers could be logically
connected to the same switch but segmented to behave as if they are separate.
