CompTIA A+ Certification Core 1 (220-1101) - Beyond the LAN

The video tutorial covers various network types, starting with Local Area Networks (LAN), which consist of computers sharing the same network ID. It then explains how connecting multiple LANs with routers forms a Wide Area Network (WAN). The tutorial further expands on Metropolitan Area Networks (MAN) and the Internet, the largest WAN. Finally, it introduces Personal Area Networks (PAN) specific to Bluetooth devices, summarizing the key differences and characteristics of each network type.

What is a key characteristic of a Local Area Network (LAN)?

• It covers multiple cities.

• It shares the same network ID.

• It is only used for Bluetooth devices.

• It requires multiple routers.

How are Wide Area Networks (WANs) formed?

• By using a single switch for all devices.

• By connecting devices within a single room.

• By connecting multiple LANs with routers.

• By using only Bluetooth connections.

What distinguishes a Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) from a WAN?

• MANs are larger than WANs.

• MANs do not use routers.

• MANs use only wireless connections.

• MANs are limited to a municipal area.

Which type of network is the Internet considered to be?

• A Wide Area Network (WAN)

• A Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)

• A Personal Area Network (PAN)

• A Local Area Network (LAN)

What is unique about a Personal Area Network (PAN)?

• It connects multiple LANs.

• It is specific to Bluetooth networks.

• It covers an entire city.

• It requires multiple switches.
