This document provides an overview of cabling LANs and WANs with three key points: 1. It describes different cabling media like UTP and the straight-through and crossover cables used to connect devices on a LAN. 2. It discusses LAN segmentation using bridges, hubs and switches to reduce collisions and improve performance. Switches allow intelligent forwarding of frames to specific segments. 3. It compares peer-to-peer and client/server network models, noting that client/server scales better and provides more centralized management and security for larger networks.
