ITPEC IP April 2023 Question 34
ITPEC IP April 2023 — Question 34 of 100
Communication between the Kyoto sales office and the Tokyo head office requires a WAN because it connects LANs across geographically separated sites. A Wide Area Network uses carrier, Internet, VPN, or other long-distance links to connect locations beyond one building or local premises.
Answer (d)
Why not others:
- (a) communication among PCs and a server inside one branch office stays on that office's LAN
- (b) Bluetooth between a PC and printer inside a house is a short-range personal-area connection
- (c) devices connected through a hub in one server room are on a local network
Key rule: LAN covers a local site; WAN connects networks across cities, regions, or other distant locations.
