Virtual Private Network. VPN enables secure access to a corporate network
when located remotely. It enables a computer to send and receive data
across shared or public networks as if it were directly connected to the pri-
vate network, while benefiting from the functionality, security, and manage-
ment policies of the private network. This is done by establishing a virtual
point-to-point connection through the use of dedicated connections, encryp-
tion, or a combination of the two.
Validated Reference Design. VRDs are guides that capture the best practices
for a particular technology in field.
VisualRF. VRF is an AirWave Management Platform (AMP) module that pro-
vides a real-time, network-wide views of your entire Radio Frequency envi-
ronment along with floor plan editing capabilities. VRF also includes overlays
on client health to help diagnose issues related to clients, floor plan, or a
specific location.
VisualRF Plan. A stand-alone Windows client used for basic planning proce-
dures such as adding a floor plan, provisioning APs, and generating a Bill of
Materials report.
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol. VRRP is an election protocol that dy-
namically assigns responsibility for a virtual router to one of the VRRP rout-
ers on a LAN.
Vendor-Specific Attribute. VSA is a method for communicating vendor-
specific information between NASs and RADIUS servers.
VLAN Trunking Protocol. VTP is a Cisco proprietary protocol for propagating
VLANs on a LAN.
accessing network resources.
Wide Area Network. WAN is a telecommunications network or computer net-
work that extends over a large geographical distance.
Wireless Application Service Provider. WASP provides a web-based access
to applications and services that would otherwise have to be stored locally
and makes it possible for customers to access the service from a variety of
wireless devices, such as a smartphone or Personal Digital Assistant (PDA).
Wireless abstract XML. WAX is an abstract markup language and a set of
tools that is designed to help wireless application development as well as
portability. Its tags perform at a higher level of abstraction than that of other
wireless markup languages such as HTML, HDML, WML, XSL, and more.
Wideband Code-Division Multiple Access. W-CDMA is a third-generation
(3G) mobile wireless technology that promises much higher data speeds to
mobile and portable wireless devices.
Web services allow businesses to share and process data programmatically.
Developers who want to provide integrated applications can use the API to
programmatically perform actions that would otherwise require manual op-
eration of the user interface.
Wired Equivalent Privacy. WEP is a security protocol that is specified in
802.11b and is designed to provide a WLAN with a level of security and pri-
vacy comparable to what is usually expected of a wired LAN.
