DN
Distinguished Name. Global, authoritative name of an entry in the OSI Directory (X.500).
DNS
Domain Name System (or Service). An Internet service that translates domain names into IP
addresses.
DoS
Denial of Service. A type of network attack in which the goal is to render a network service
unavailable.
DSL
digital subscriber line. Public network technology that delivers high bandwidth over conventional
copper wiring at limited distances. DSL is provisioned via modem pairs, with one modem located at
a central office and the other at the customer site. Because most DSL technologies do not use the
whole bandwidth of the twisted pair, there is room remaining for a voice channel.
DSP
digital signal processor. A DSP segments a voice signal into frames and stores them in voice packets.
DSS
Digital Signature Standard. A digital signature algorithm designed by The US National Institute of
Standards and Technology and based on public-key cryptography. DSS does not do user datagram
encryption. DSS is a component in classic crypto, as well as the Redcreek
IPSec
card, but not in
IPSec
implemented in Cisco IOS software.
Dynamic NAT
See
NAT
and
address translation
.
Dynamic PAT
Dynamic Port Address Translation. Dynamic PAT lets multiple outbound sessions appear to originate
from a single IP address. With PAT enabled, the FWSM chooses a unique port number from the PAT
IP address for each outbound translation slot (
xlate
). This feature is valuable when an
ISP
cannot
allocate enough unique IP addresses for your outbound connections. The global pool addresses always
come first, before a PAT address is used. See also
NAT
,
Static PAT
, and
xlate
.
E
ECHO
See
Ping
,
ICMP
. See also
inspection engine
.
EGP
Exterior Gateway Protocol. Replaced by BGP. The FWSM does not support EGP. See also
BGP
.
EIGRP
Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol. The FWSM does not support EIGRP.
EMBLEM
Enterprise Management BaseLine Embedded Manageability. A syslog format designed to be
consistent with the Cisco IOS system log format and is more compatible with CiscoWorks
management applications.
encryption
Application of a specific algorithm or cipher to data so as to render the data incomprehensible to those
unauthorized to see the information. See also
decryption
.
EPM
Endpoint Mapper.
ESMTP
Extended
SMTP
. Extended version of
SMTP
that includes additional functionality, such as delivery
notification and session delivery. ESMTP is described in RFC 1869, SMTP Service Extensions.
ESP
Encapsulating Security Payload. An
IPSec
protocol, ESP provides authentication and encryption
services for establishing a secure tunnel over an insecure network. For more information, refer to
RFCs 2406 and 1827.
