Local Area Networks

Local Area Networks (LANs) are interconnected computer systems confined to a small geographical area, providing shared access to devices and data. Coursera's LAN catalogue teaches you the principles and practical applications of designing, implementing, and managing LANs. You'll learn about various LAN technologies such as Ethernet and Wi-Fi, network topologies, network protocols, and LAN security measures. The course will also help you understand the role of network devices such as routers, switches, and hubs in creating efficient and secure local networks. By the end of the course, you will be equipped with the skills to set up and troubleshoot LANs for organizations of any scale or complexity.
