B: Two local area networks connected by a UTP •

C: Two local area networks connected by a switch •

D: Two local area networks connected by a hub •

E: Two local area networks connected by a router •

F: Two computers connected by a router •

G: Two computers connected by s switch •

H: Two computers connected by a hub •

I: Two computer connected by a UTP

Expert Solution

The definition of a local area network is that connects two or bunch of computers and devices through a communication line which can be wired or wireless through a server.

A: Two local area networks connected by a switch

So by the definition given above this scenario qualifies for a local area network

B: Two local area networks connected by a UTP

Unshielded twisted pair is a type of cable, so if two local area networks are connected through this then this scenario will also qualify for the local area network but UTP is can also be used to cover the distance of more than 1 Km which means it won't be local area network anymore.

D: Two local area networks connected by a hub

A hub is a device which is used to connect a bunch of computers which means the only difference between the switch, router, and hub is that there is no network translation or a routing table available on the hub.

The above scenario is a local area network.

E: Two local area networks connected by a router

The above scenario is a local area network.

F: Two computers connected by a router

Two computers connected by a router is a local area network

G: Two computers connected by s switch

Two computers connected by a switch is a local area network

H: Two computers connected by a hub

Two computers connected by a hub is a local area network

I: Two computers connected by a UTP

Two computers connected by a hub may or may not be a local area network

Jump has a network of sports clubs which is managed by local managers reporting to the main board. The local managers have a lot of autonomy and are able to vary employment contracts with staff and offer discounts for membership fees and personal training sessions. They also control their own maintenance budget but do not have control over large amounts of capital expenditure. A local manager's performance and bonus is assessed relative to three targets. For every one of these...
