Item Description
Client The term used to describe the desktop PC that is connected to your network.
DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This protocol automatically assigns an IP
address for every computer on your network
Ethernet
A LAN specification developed jointly by Xerox, Intel and Digital Equipment
Corporation. Ethernet networks use CSMA/CD to transmit packets at a rate of
10 Mbps and 100 Mbps over a variety of cables.
Fast Ethernet An Ethernet system that is designed to operate at 100 Mbps.
Full Duplex
A system that allows packets to be transmitted and received at the same time
and, in effect, doubles the potential throughput of a link.
Gigabit Ethernet An Ethernet system that is designed to operate at 1000 Mbps.
Half Duplex
A system that allows packets to be transmitted and received, but not at the same
time. Half duplex is not supported for 1000 Mbps. Contrast with full duplex.
IEEE
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. This American organization was
founded in 1963 and sets standards for computers and communications.
IEEE 802.3ad
A standard that defines link aggregation. 802.3ad is now incorporated into the
relevant sections of the IEEE Std. 802.3-2002.
IEEE 802.1D
Specifies a general method for the operation of MAC bridges, including the
Spanning Tree Protocol.
IEEE 802.1Q
VLAN Tagging - Defines Ethernet frame tags which carry VLAN information. It
allows switches to assign end stations to different virtual LANs, and defines a
standard way for VLANs to communicate across switched networks.
IETF
Internet Engineering Task Force. An organization responsible for providing
engineering solutions for TCP/IP networks. In the network management area,
this group is responsible for the development of the SNMP protocol.
IP
Internet Protocol. IP is a layer 3 network protocol that is the standard for sending
data through a network. IP is part of the TCP/IP set of protocols that describe the
routing of packets to addressed devices. An IP address consists of 32 bits
divided into two or three fields: a network number and a host number or a
network number, a subnet number, and a host number.
IP Address
Internet Protocol Address. A unique identifier for a device attached to a network
using TCP/IP. The address is written as four octets separated with periods
(full-stops), and is made up of a network section, an optional subnet section and
a host section.
ISP
Internet Service Provider. An ISP is a business that provides connectivity to the
Internet for individuals and other businesses or organizations.
LAN
Local Area Network. A network of end stations (such as PCs, printers, servers)
and network devices (hubs and switches) that cover a relatively small
geographic area (usually not larger than a floor or building). LANs are
characterized by high transmission speeds over short distances (up to 1000
meters).
Layer 2
Data Link layer in the ISO 7-Layer Data Communications Protocol. This is related
directly to the hardware interface for the network devices and passes on traffic
based on MAC addresses.
MAC
Media Access Control. A protocol specified by the IEEE for determining which
