The entrance facility is the place where the connection to a WAN is located. It is basically the point where the LAN begins and ends. What is another name for this point?

Answer:

Demarcation point.

Step-by-step explanation:

A LAN is a private network within a small geographical location. It is the interconnection of end user devices and other intermediate network devices. For a LAN to access other external WAN networks, an default route must be configured on the edge router that connects directly to the WAN in a point called the Demarcation point.

Demarcation point or Demarc is a point where the wide area network (WAN) is connected to a private local area network (LAN). It is the point where a srevice provider network ends and the customer's network begins or ends.
