An alphanumeric representation of an association of computers. (For
example, hp.com. com com is a top level domain and hp com com
domain.
A server that translates domain names (such as hp.com) into IP addresses
(such as 15.12.255.67). If you have multiple DNS servers on your network,
and one DNS server cannot translate a domain name, it asks another one,
and so on, until the IP address is found.
A module containing one or several random access memory (RAM) chips on
a small circuit board with pins that connect it to the computer motherboard.
E
A log of critical or informational events that occurred on the network.
To make a portion of a file system on a remote computer accessible to a local
(client) computer.
F
A backup operational mode in which the functions of the primary NAS server
are assumed by the secondary NAS server when the primary NAS server
becomes unavailable through failure or scheduled down time.
The smallest unit of failover within the cluster.
The basic unit of logical storage for a file system on the NAS server.
G
A combination of hardware and software that links two different networks
using different communications protocols so that information can be passed
from one to the other. A gateway both transfers information and converts it
to a form compatible with the protocols used by the receiving network.
The IP address of a network server or host that functions as a gateway to
other networks through communication lines or other network topologies.
A transceiver that converts electric currents (digital highs and lows) to optical
signals, and optical signals to digital electric currents. The GBIC is typically
employed in fiber optic and Ethernet systems as an interface for high-speed
hp is a second level hp hp
