A TCP/IP protocol commonly used for software downloads.
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.
Wired Equivalent Privacy (
WEP)
WEP is based on the use of security keys and the popular RC4
encryption algorithm. Wireless devices without a valid WEP key
will be excluded from network traffic.
WPA Pre-shared Key
(PSK)
PSK can be used for small office networks that may not have the
resources to configure and maintain a RADIUS server. WPA
provides a simple operating mode that uses just a pre-shared
password for network access.
