A LAN is a group of computers, each equipped with the appropriate network adapter card connected
by cable/air, that share applicatio
wireless media, but a LAN does not use telephone services. It typically spans a single building or
campus.

A method
of assigning IP addresses to clients on the network. In networks with Static IP address, the
network a
dministrator manually assigns an IP address to each computer. Once a Static IP address is
assigned, a computer uses the same IP address every time it reboots and logs on to the network,
unless it is manually changed.

The Tempora

standard for wirel

which is used to secure 802.11 wireless LANs. TKIP provides per-packet key mixing, a message
integrity check and a re-keying mechanism
