Answer:

1. Resource Sharing

Sharing of resources such as hard disk drives, DVD drives and Printers are made easy in Local Area Network. For an example all the resources can be connected to one single computer with a network so that whenever there is a need of resources it can be shared with the connected computers.

2. Software Sharing

Another type of sharing made easy here is the Software sharing. A single computer with the licensed software can be shared among other users in the network. There is no need to purchase individual license for each and every computer in the network. All can be worked under one single license.

3. Convenient Communication

Using LAN users can exchange messages and data in a convenient way. Since the data is placed on the server it can be accessed anytime by the LAN users. Every single LAN user can do this with others on the network. Hence, this not only saves lots of time, it ensures that messages get delivered to the right people.

4. Centralized Data

As mentioned earlier data of the users are located at the centralized server. Any workstation in a particular network can be used to access this information. Moreover users can access their own set of data by logging into their respective accounts.

5. Improved Security

Since data is stored on a local server, it can be guaranteed to be secure. If the data on the server is updated then simply all the LAN users can access them. In addition to that, the host has the capability to deny or allow users in a particular network so that additional security measurements can be imposed.

6. Internet Sharing

LAN has the capability to share internet connection among all the LAN users. One single computer with an internet connection shares internet with all the connected computers. This type of infrastructure can be seen in Offices and Netcafes.

7. Computer Identification

For the purpose of identification, each computers on the LAN is assigned with a MAC address. This address will be normally used when sending and receiving data. In modern computers these data is stored inside the network adapter that comes attached with the motherboard.
