•
system or application. Almost always, a logon requires that the user have (1) a user ID and (2) a
password. Often, the user ID must conform to a limited length such as eight characters and the
password must contain at least one digit and not match a natural language word
MAC Address: in a LAN or other network, the MAC (Media Access Control) address is your

computer's unique hardware number. (On an Ethernet LAN, it's the same as your Ethernet

relates your IP address to your computer's physical (MAC) address on the LAN.
