What is a Local Area Network?
Examples of LAN Diagrams

Local Area Network (LAN) is a network which consists of computers and peripheral devices connected each other and to the local domain server, and covers a little territory or small number of buildings, such as home, school, laboratory, office, etc. LAN serves for few hundreds of users. It includes many cables and wires, and demands to design previously a Network diagram. All local area network devices can use the shared printers and disk storage.

Network Configuration

Network configuration is a method of connecting computers among themselves, also known as a network topology. Three main types of connections are the most commonly used: Bus, Ring, Star. Before network design and purchase of necessary network equipment, it is necessary to consider all details, carefully examine the conditions, in which a given network will be exploited and certainly to draw a diagram of future network with all its parameters. The scheme can be designed manually on a paper, but it is better to apply a special software, such as ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and vector drawing software supplied with Computer Network Diagrams solution. Use of predesigned network icons from the libraries of Computer Network Diagrams solution, also built-in templates, samples and examples, is helpful to develop and represent network architecture, topology and design, and to make with ease professional-looking Network configuration diagrams and Network topology diagrams for LANs and WANs, to design Wired and Wireless computer communication networks, Mobile and Vehicle nets, IVR systems, etc.
