What Are Two Types Of Router Interfaces? (Choose Two.)

What are two types of router interfaces? (Choose two.)

• LAN.
• WAN.FTP
• DNS.
• DHCP.
• SVI

Answer: The router interface is categorized into two groups:

LAN interface: Those devices whose connection is terminated with LAN are connected with the help of the LAN interface, it can also connect the router with each other.

WAN interface: In a large area the router is connected with another network through the WAN interface.

Router interface

Moreover, the router is connected with the network through the help of a port. in the network, the port on the router connected to the network directly is known as the local router interface and when it is connected with another network is called the remote router interface. The router of the interface has a specific address like the network interface card (NIC) is the address of the computer.

According to RRAS (routing and remote access services) of Microsoft Windows 2000, the router interface is either the physical or the logical interface in which the packets are transferred or forwarded. The packets are either the unicast packets of the IP, the internetwork packets exchange IPX, or the apple talk or some multicast packets of IP. The RRAS can either be:

• The physical LAN (local area network) interface i.e., the connection of Ethernet or token ring. some of the WAN (wide area network) interface as frame relay adapters represent logically as LAN interface by RRAS.
• The demand-dial interface shows the logical connection as the dial-up modem or maybe the virtual private network or point-to-point connection. They can also be the demand on persistent.
• The Inter Protocol IP-in-IP interface shows the tunneled point-to-point connection.

Comparison of the LAN and WAN interface

The comparison of the LAN and WAN interface is given in the following sections:

• The LAN port or the interface is connected with the help of the RJ-45 connector on the PC or the network devices. All of the machines either the client or server and the network devices are connected with the LAN port.
• The WAN is used for the connection with the outside of the network like the Internet. For the small area, the network as the home business the WAN is connected with RJ-45 Ethernet port. The port is wired with either the cable or the DSL modem along with the computer. Sometimes the WAN port may be considered as the internet because it receives the data from the external network and then the information is filtered by the router’s internal firewall and routing system. And them the information sent towards the LAN port or to the wireless connection.

If we talk about the main difference the LAN connects the computer with other clients. while the WAN connects with the external network as the internet. LAN is refered as the individual network which covers a small area. It is also called the ethernet port. A port refers to the communication channel or the endpoints.
