Definition of LAN
A LAN is used to connects computers and to exchange data between computers. A LAN has six essential components to function.

Components of LAN
The six components of Lan are discussed below
• Network adapter
Network adapter is a main component of computer to connect to a network. It converts computer data into electronics signals. Most computers are shipped with the network adapter integrated into the motherboard. However, early PCs didn't include this function and computer owners had to buy it separately and fit it into an expansion slot on the motherboard. These were called network cards because they were sold on a separate card.

• Cable connectors
The most common connector in wired network is RJ45. Every computer with network card has RJ45 connector. RJ45 connector is commonly known as network port or ethernet port. Use to connect shielded or unshielded twisted pair cable(LAN).
• Hub
In wired networks, one computer cannot connect to many others without some form of splitter. A hub is little more than a splitter. It repeats any signals coming into one of its ports out onto all its other ports. A cable leads from each port to one computer.
• Network software
Software on a communicating computer packages data into segments and puts that data into a structure called a packet. The source and destination addresses of the packet are written into the header of the packet. The receiving computer needs to interpret these packets back into meaningful data and deliver it to the appropriate application
