what are star, bus, tree, and ring?
200
Usually consist of personal devices such as mobile computers, smartphones, and handheld devices.
what is PAN?
200
known as a computer
Has CPU and operating system
Runs network applications to access data on a server or mainframe
May fulfill roles as client and host

300
Interconnects computers, printers, other equipment that share hardware and software resources in close physical proximity
Service area might be within a house, a small office, a floor in a building, or an entire building
what is LAN?
