Glossary G-5
Static
Method One of the available boot methods. Use static if your network
uses fixed configuration. The IP address remains the same
every time the device connects to the network.
Subnet A portion of a network that shares a common address
component. On TCP/IP networks, subnets are all devices with
the same prefix. For example, all devices that start with
192.192.192 are part of the same subnet. Dividing a network
into subnets is useful for both security and performance
reasons.
Subnet Mask A mask is used to determine what subnet an IP address
belongs to. Companies often have ranges of IP addresses that
can be described by one or more masks. For example, a mask
of 255.255.255.0 allows variation in the last position only,
because the first three positions are fixed.
Telnet A Terminal Emulation program for TCP/IP networks that runs
on your computer and connects your computer to a server on
the network. You enter commands through the Telnet program
and they run as if you were entering them directly on the server
console.
TCP/IP A way that two devices can transmit data between each other.
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol) is
generally the standard for transmitting data over a network.
TKIP (Temporal
Key Integrity
Protocol)
Changes the encryption keys regularly and has time limits
before new keys are created. Changing the key periodically
provides additional security.
TLS (Transport
Layer Security)
A cryptographic protocol that uses client-side and server-side
certificates to authenticate users on the Web. It can
dynamically create user-based and session-based keys.
TTLS (Tunneled
Transport Layer
Security)
Provides certificate-based, server-side, mutual authentication
of the client and network through an encrypted channel (or
tunnel). It can dynamically create user-based and session-
based keys.
