Shared key
A shared key can be used to authenticate each client attached to a wireless
network. Shared Key authentication must be used along with the 802.11
Wireless Equivalent Privacy algorithm.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
The application protocol in the Internet suite of protocols that offers network
management services.
Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP)
SNTP allows a device to set its internal clock based on periodic updates
from a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server. Updates can be requested
from a specific NTP server, or can be received by means of broadcasts
sent by NTP servers.
Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP)
A data encryption method designed as a replacement for WEP. TKIP avoids
the problems of WEP static keys by dynamically changing data encryption
keys.
Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP)
A TCP/IP protocol commonly used for software downloads.
Virtual Access Point (VAP)
Virtual AP technology multiplies the number of Access Points present
within the RF footprint of a single physical access device. With Virtual AP
technology, WLAN users within the device footprint can associate with what
appears to be different access points and their associated network services.
All the services are delivered using a single radio channel, enabling Virtual
AP technology to optimize the use of limited WLAN radio spectrum.
Virtual LAN (VLAN)
A Virtual LAN is a collection of network nodes that share the same collision
domain regardless of their physical location or connection point in the
network. A VLAN serves as a logical workgroup with no physical barriers,
and allows users to share information and resources as though located on
the same LAN.
Wi-Fi protected access
WPA employs 802.1X as its basic framework for user authentication and
dynamic key management to provide an enhanced security solution for
802.11 wireless networks.
