Network type Features
Local Area Network (LAN)
  • The coverage area may be limited to a room or a building or a group of buildings.
  • For eg.: Devices at your home or office connected to each other or with a common router.
  • Connections can be established either through Ethernet cables or radio waves.
Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)
  • It interconnects the computers/users located in a bigger geographical area as compared to a LAN.
  • For eg.: A chain of emergency response teams across a big city.
Wide Area Network (WAN)
  • It covers the largest area as compared to LAN and MAN. It can cover the whole country.

Your network uses TCP/IP as the only network protocol. Devices on the network are configured to use IP address from the private 10.0.0.0 range. All the client computers on the network runs Windows 2000 Professional. The network includes Windows 2000 Server computers and UNIX servers. User's print jobs are sent to shared printers on a Windows 2000 Server computer named PrintServ that directs the print jobs to print devices attached directly to the network. You have a high-capacity print device that is attached to one of the UNIX servers. The UNIX computer uses the LPR printing protocol, and it's IP address is 10.1.1.99. The name of the printer queue is GIANT. You want users to be able to connect to this printer from their computers. What should you do?
