Zorluk: OrtaNetwork Topologies and Types

A university IT department is installing a high-speed fiber-optic backbone to interconnect networking hardware across eight distinct academic buildings situated on a single, contiguous 200-acre property owned by the institution. All cabling and networking hardware are privately owned, operated, and maintained by the university without using public utility lines or third-party service provider leased circuits. Which network classification best describes this geographic deployment?

  1. Campus Area Network (CAN)Cevap
  2. B
    Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)
  3. C
    Wide Area Network (WAN)
  4. D
    Storage Area Network (SAN)

Cevap

Campus Area Network (CAN)
The deployment covers multiple interlinked buildings across a single contiguous 200-acre property using self-owned fiber-optic infrastructure. This precisely defines a Campus Area Network (CAN), which bridges the gap between individual LANs and broader metropolitan/wide area networks without relying on third-party telecommunication providers.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the geographic scope and ownership model described in the scenario.
The infrastructure spans multiple buildings within a single contiguous 200-acre property and relies strictly on self-owned cabling rather than telecommunication service provider leased lines.
Geographic footprint and media ownership are the primary criteria for categorizing network types.
2
Evaluate the defined network types against these properties.
A network encompassing multiple adjacent LANs within a single contiguous property owned by one organization is defined as a Campus Area Network (CAN).
MAN and WAN involve broader geographic spans with service provider media, while SAN is dedicated to storage arrays.
