TASK 1
Create LAN network
1) LAN- Local Area Network
A local area network is a computer network that interconnects computers within a limited
area such as a residence, school, laboratory, university campus or office building. By contrast, a
wide area network not only covers a larger geographic distance, but also generally involves
leased telecommunication circuits.

TASK 2:- Create WAN network

2) WAN- Wide Area Network
A wide area network is a telecommunications network that extends over a large geographic
area. Wide area networks are often established with leased telecommunication circuits.

TASK 3:- Create MAN network

3) MAN- Metropolitan Area Network
A metropolitan area network is a computer network that interconnects users with computer
resources in a geographic region of the size of a metropolitan area.

TASK 4:- Create PAN network

4) PAN- Personal Area Network
A personal area network is a computer network for interconnecting electronic devices within
an individual person's workspace. A PAN provides data transmission among devices such as
computers, smartphones, tablets and personal digital assistants.
