this assignment students ought to use MS. Word to sketch a diagram that would illustrate the connection of computers together to create a local area network (LAN). As previously explained in class, to have a computer network, you should connect or link two or more computers together. In this network diagram, you need to have a switch as the central point of connection. The media used to connect or make a link should be labeled; a connection can either be made wirelessly or wired or both. The adapter used to connect the cable to the computer or to transmit wireless signal from one device to another is called a network interface card (NIC); please identify such device in your network diagram. As stated above, you must Identify and also describe the function of each network device (NIC, media, switch and switch ports, router) and the major components of a computer system, that is, random access memory (RAM), central processing unit (CPU), storage devices (hard disk drive (HHD) and input/output devices (keyboard, mouse, monitor, printer, et cetera). Again, each device and component must be clearly and concisely described; that is, explain their functions and their unit of measurements if applicable. After drawing LAN1, replicate or create a copy of LAN1 and call it LAN2, you do not need to draw computers in LAN2, you can simply draw a flat rectangle as LAN2 and show the connection of LAN1 going to LAN2 passing through a switch. You need to use a network device (router) to connect LAN1 and LAN2 together to make an internetwork; you need a router for two distinct networks to communicate. Please note that we can connect an unlimited number of LANs to create a wide area network (WAN). WAN is collection of networks where there is no limit. An example of WAN is the internet. After completing the entire network with the two LANs to illustrate the creation of a WAN, in no more than one paragraph, explain your network connections. Use a two-column table to explain the terms below. Use Term and Description as headers for your table. Your document report should have a title, your name and the class information at the far left of the top of the first page. Add page numbers as the header and the file path as the footer. Bits, bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, terabytes, MBps, Mbps, hertz, KHz, MHz, GHz. Lastly, in a few sentences, explain the difference between application and system software, give at least two examples of each.
