DHCP, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol . An Ethernet protocol specifying
how a centralized DHCP server can assign network configuration information to
multiple DHCP clients. The assigned information includes IP addresses, DNS
addresses, and gateway (router) addresses.
IP Address and
Network Mask
IP Address is a four-byte number uniquely defining each host on the Internet,
usually written in dotted-decimal notation with periods separating the bytes (for
example, 134.177.244.57). Ranges of addresses are assigned by Internet, an
organization formed for this purpose.
Combined with the IP address, the IP Subnet Mask allows a device to know
which other addresses are local to it, and which must be reached through a
gateway or router.
LAN&WAN LAN (Local Area Network): A communications network serving users within a
limited area, such as one floor of a building.
WAN: A long distance link used to extend or connect remotely located local area
networks. The Internet is a large WAN.
Router A device that forwards data between networks. An IP router forwards data based
on IP source and destination addresses.
NetBIOS Network Basic Input Output System. An application programming interface
(API) for sharing services and information on local-area networks (LANs).
Provides for communication between stations of a network where each station is
given a name. These names are alphanumeric names, 16 characters in length.
Encryption To secure the communication between the wireless device and other devices,
encryption is implemented to protect secret against attack.
MAC The Media Access Control address is a unique 48-bit hardware address assigned
to every network interface card.
Ping Using “ping” command aims at checking the communication between your
