Item Description
devices have access to a network at any one time.
MAC Address
Media Access Control Address. Also called the hardware, physical or Ethernet
address. A layer 2 address associated with a particular network device. Most
devices that connect to a LAN have a MAC address assigned to them as they
are used to identify other devices in a network. MAC addresses are 6 bytes
long.
Network
A Network is a collection of computers and other computer equipment that are
connected for the purpose of exchanging information or sharing resources.
Networks vary in size, some are within a single room, others span continents.
Ping
Packet Internet Groper. An Internet utility used to determine whether a particular
IP address is online. It is used to test and debug a network by sending out a
packet and waiting for a response.
Protocol
A set of rules for communication between devices on a network. The rules
dictate format, timing, sequencing and error control.
RJ-45
A standard connector used to connect Ethernet networks. The “RJ” stands for
“registered jack.”
Server
A computer in a network that is shared by multiple end stations. Servers provide
end stations with access to shared network services such as computer files and
printer queues.
SFP
Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) Connectors are based on an open standard
that enables hot swapping of various types of fiber optic and copper-based
transceivers into the host equipment.
Subnet Address
An extension of the IP addressing scheme that allows a site to use a single IP
network address for multiple physical networks.
Subnet Mask
A subnet mask, which may be a part of the TCP/IP information provided by your
ISP, is a set of four numbers configured like an IP address. It is used to create IP
address numbers used only within a particular network (as opposed to valid IP
address numbers recognized by the Internet, which must assigned by InterNIC).
Subnets A network that is a component of a larger network.
Switch
A device that interconnects several LANs to form a single logical LAN that
comprises of several LAN segments. Switches are similar to bridges, in that they
connect LANs of a different type; however they connect more LANs than a
bridge and are generally more sophisticated.
TCP/IP
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. This is the name for two of the
most well-known protocols developed for the interconnection of networks.
Originally a UNIX standard, TCP/IP is now supported on almost all platforms,
and is the protocol of the Internet.
Traffic Monitoring
Enables the monitoring of port traffic by attaching a network analyzer to one
switch port, in order to monitor the traffic of other ports on the switch.
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.
