Questions and Answers

What is the main difference between LANs and WANs?

  • LANs cover a single geographical location, while WANs span more than one geographical location (correct)
  • LANs are slower and costly, while WANs are high speed and cheaper
  • LANs have complicated implementation procedures, while WANs require less cable
  • LANs use routers and leased lines, while WANs do not require any special hardware

Which physical and logical network layout refers to the actual layout of the computer cables and other network devices?

  • Mesh topology
