Explain how adaptability to new technologies can be taken into consideration when selecting devices for a LAN. How does this affect the cost calculations?
What will be an ideal response?
When selecting devices for a LAN it is important to allow for future growth. Growth consists of more
user devices, more capabilities, more speed, and also new technology. To allow for growth, devices
will need to be selected that go beyond the current need of the LAN in terms of number of ports, sup
ported speeds, and capabilities. Devices need to have empty slots that allow the addition of modules
that have more capabilities or that support new technologies. That affects the cost calculation because
the costs will seem high compared to the current network needs. In the long run, this up-front investment might save money, though.
