Netopia ISDN Router Reference Guide
protocol:
A set of rules for communication, sometimes made up of
several smaller sets of rules also called protocols. AppleTalk is a
protocol that includes the LocalTalk, EtherTalk, and TokenTalk
protocols.
remapping:
See
network number remapping.
RFC (Request for Comment):
A series of documents used to
exchange information and standards about the Internet.
RIP (Routing Information Protocol):
A protocol used for the
transmission of IP routing information.
RJ-11:
A telephone-industr y standard connector type, usually
containing four pins.
RJ-45:
A telephone-industr y standard connector type usually
containing eight pins.
router:
A device that intelligently connects networks to each other.
A router can connect identical network types, such as
LocalTalk-to-LocalTalk, or dissimilar network types, such as
LocalTalk-to-Ethernet. However—unless a gateway is available—a
common protocol, such as AppleTalk, must be used over both
networks. The Netopia ISDN Router is a router, but also includes an
AppleTalk-IP gateway. See also
gateway.
router port:
A physical or logical connection between a router and
a network. Where a network only allows the use of one protocol,
each physical connection corresponds to one logical router por t. An
example is the Netopia ISDN Router’s LocalTalk por t. Where a
network allows the use of several protocols, each physical
connection may correspond to several logical router por ts—one for
each protocol used. Each router por t has its own network address.
routing table:
A list of networks maintained by each router on an
internet. Information in the routing table helps the router determine
the next router to for ward packets to.
seeding:
A method for ensuring that two or more routers agree
about which physical networks correspond to which network
numbers and zone names. There are three options: non-seeding,
soft seeding, and hard seeding. Seeding can often be set separately
for each router por t. See
also hard seeding, non-seeding, seed
router, and soft seeding.
