Answer:
A switch
Explanation:
A local area network (LAN) refers to a group of personal computers (PCs) or terminals that are located within the same general area and connected by a common network cable (communication circuit), so that they can exchange information from one node of the network to another. A local area network (LAN) is typically used in small or limited areas such as a set of rooms, a single building, school, hospital, or a set of well-connected buildings. Some of the network devices or equipments used in a local area network (LAN) includes an access point, personal computers, a hub, a router, printer, a switch, etc.
In computer networking, a switch is a network hardware (device) that breaks up a network into separate collision domains within a single broadcast domain. Thus, it's commonly configured with virtual local area network (VLAN) to break up and interconnect multiple networks.
