Static IP Address
A static IP address is an IP address permanently assigned to computer in a TCP/IP network. Static IP
addresses are usually assigned to networked devices that are consistently accessed by multiple users, such
as Server PCs, or printers. If you are using your Router to share your cable or DSL Internet connection,
contact your ISP to see if they have assigned your home a static IP address. You will need that address
during your Router's configuration.
Subnet
For routing purposes, IP networks can be divided into logical subnets by using a subnet mask. Values below
those of the mask are valid addresses on the subnet.
TCP
Transmission Control Protocol - The major transport protocol in the Internet suite of protocols provides
reliable, connection-oriented full-duplex streams.
TFTP
Trivial File Transfer Protocol. A simple file transfer protocol (a simplified version of FTP) that is often boot
diskless workstations and other network devices such as routers over a network (typically a LAN).
Telnet
The virtual terminal protocol in the Internet suite of protocols - Allows users of one host to log into a remote
host and act as normal terminal users of that host.
Transparent bridging
The intelligence necessary to make relaying decisions exists in the bridge itself and is thus transparent to the
communicating workstations. It involves frame forwarding, learning workstation addresses, and ensuring no
topology loops exist (in conjunction with the Spanning-Tree algorithm).
