Definition: A local area network (LAN) supplies networking capability to a group of computers in close proximity to each other such as in an office building, a school, or a home.A LAN is useful for sharing resources like files, printers, games or other applications.ost local area networks use Wi-Fi or Ethernet for connectivity between devices. (See also-Comparing Wired and Wireless Network Technology). Each of these local networks may stand alone (disconnected from any other network) or may connect to other LANs and additionally a WAN (such as the Internet).
Techopedia explains Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) Computer networks can be segmented into local area networks (LAN) and wide area networks (WAN). Network devices such as switches, hubs, bridges, workstations and servers connected to each other in the same network at a specific location are generally known as LANs. An LAN is also considered a broadcast domain. A VLAN allows several networks to work virtually as an LAN. One of the most beneficial elements of a VLAN is that it removes latency in the network, which saves network resources and increases network efficiency.
