Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)

HTTP is a standard used to transmit and receive all data over the World
Wide Web.

Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP)

A network layer protocol that reports errors in processing IP packets. ICMP
is also used by routers to feed back information about better routing choices.

IEEE 802.11a

A wireless standard that supports high-speed communications in the 5
GHz band using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM). The
standard supports data rates of 6, 12, 24, and 54 Mb/s.

IEEE 802.11b

A wireless standard that supports wireless communications in the 2.4 GHz
band using Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS). The standard
provides for data rates of 1, 2, 5.5, and 11 Mb/s.

IEEE 802.11g

A wireless standard that supports wireless communications in the 2.4 GHz
band using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM). The
standard provides for data rates of 6, 9, 11, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 54 Mb/s.
IEEE 802.11g is also backward compatible with IEEE 802.11b.

IEEE 802.1X

Port Authentication controls access to the switch ports by requiring users to
first enter a user ID and password for authentication.

Infrastructure

An integrated wireless and wired LAN is called an infrastructure
configuration.

Inter Access Point Protocol (IAPP)

A protocol that specifies the wireless signaling required to ensure the
successful handover of wireless clients roaming between different
802.11f-compliant access points.

Local Area Network (LAN)

A group of interconnected computer and support devices.

MAC address
