Glossary
A protocol in the
➤➤
TCP/IP protocol suite that is used to transport manage-
ment information about network components. Every SNMP management sys-
tem contains an
➤➤
MIB . SNMP can be used to configure, control and
administrate various network components from one system. Such an SNMP
tool is included in your router: the Configuration Manager . As SNMP is a stan-
dard protocol, you can use any other SNMP managers, e.g. HP OpenView.
SNMP shell Input level for SNMP commands.
SOHO Small Offices and Home Offices
Small offices and home offices.
Spoofing Technique for reducing data traffic (and thus saving costs), especially in WANs.
The router answers as proxy for remote PCs to cyclically transmitted data pack-
ets with a monitoring function (e.g. sign of life messages).
STAC Data compression procedure.
Subnet A network scheme that divides individual logical networks into smaller physical
units to simplify routing.
Switch LAN switches are network components with a similar function to
➤➤
bridges
or even
➤➤
routers . They switch data packets between the input and output
port. In contrast to bridges, switches have several input and output ports. This
increases the bandwidth in the network. Switches can also be used for conver-
sion between networks with different speeds (e.g. 100-Mbps and 10-Mbps net-
works).
Synchronous Transmission process in which the transmitter and receiver operate with exactly
the same clock signals – in contrast to
➤➤
asynchronous . Spaces are
bridged by a stop code.
TCP Transmission Control Protocol
One of the
➤➤
TCP/IP suite of protocols used for the connection of Wide Area
Networks (
➤➤
WANs ).
TCP/IP Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol.
A protocol suite for the connection of Wide Area Networks (
➤➤
WANs ). The
two parts of this protocol suite are
➤➤
IP (layer 3 of the OSI model) and
➤➤
TCP (layer 4 of the OSI model).
