About Local Area Networks (LANs)

A Local Area Network (LAN) connects network devices together, such as Ethernet or Wi-Fi, in a logical Layer-2 network.

The following diagram shows a LAN connected to the ETH2, ETH3, and ETH4 Ethernet devices and the Digi AP (Wi-Fi1) access point. Once the LAN is configured and enabled, the devices connected to the network interfaces can communicate with each other, as demonstrated by the ping commands.
