category 5e cables

One of five grades of Twisted Pair (TP) cabling defined 
by the EIA/TIA-568 standard. Category 5e can be 
used in Ethernet (10BASE-T), Fast Ethernet 
(100BASE-TX) and Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) 
networks, and can transmit data at speeds of up to 
1000 Mbps.

category 6 cable

One of five grades of Twisted Pair (TP) cabling defined 
by the EIA/TIA-568-B standard. Category 6 can be 
used in Ethernet (10BASE-T), Fast Ethernet 
(100BASE-TX) and Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) 
networks, and can transmit data at speeds of up to 
1000 Mbps.

client

The term used to describe the desktop PC that is con-
nected to your network. 

DHCP

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol.

 

This protocol 

automatically assigns an IP address for every com-
puter on your network. Windows 95, Windows 98 
and Windows NT 4.0 contain software that assigns IP 
addresses to workstations on a network. These 
assignments are made by the DHCP server software 
that runs on Windows NT Server.

Ethernet

A LAN specification developed jointly by Xerox, Intel 
and Digital Equipment Corporation. Ethernet net-
works use CSMA/CD to transmit packets at a rate of 
10 Mbps and 100 Mbps over a variety of cables.

Ethernet address

See

 MAC address.

Fast Ethernet

An Ethernet system that is designed to operate at 100 
Mbps.

Gigabit Ethernet

An Ethernet system that is designed to operate at 
1000 Mbps.

full-duplex

A system that allows packets to be transmitted and 
received at the same time and, in effect, doubles the 
potential throughput of a link.

half-duplex

A system that allows packets to be transmitted and 
received, but not at the same time. Half-duplex is not 
supported for 1000 Mbps. Contrast with full-duplex. 

IEEE

Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. This 
American organization was founded in 1963 and sets 
standards for computers and communications.

IEEE 802.1D

Specifies a general method for the operation of MAC 
bridges, including the Spanning Tree Protocol.

IEEE 802.1Q

VLAN Tagging - Defines Ethernet frame tags that 
carry VLAN information. It allows switches to assign 
endstations to different virtual LANs, and defines a
