matically assign an IP address and other network parameters to network nodes.
DHCP server — service to support the DHCP protocol in the network.
Zero Configuration (Networking) — technology to quickly set up a local TCP / IP network
without a DHCP server and manually configure settings. When using this method of network ad-
dress configuration, IP is automatically assigned from the range 169.254.xxx.xxx, network mask
(Netmask) 255.255.0.0 (Another notation - CIDR standard - 169.254.0.0/16).
APIPA — Automatic Private IP Addressing — Atomic addressing in a private network. It has
another name — Zero Configuration (Networking).
IPv4LL — IPv4 Link Local - also refered to as Zero Configuration Networking or APIPA (Au-
tomatic Private IP Addressing).
MAC address — Media Access Control (address) or hardware address — an unique factory iden-
tifier. MAC address is assigned to each physical interface in Ethernet family networks.
SSH — Secure Shell — application level protocol of the TCP/IP stack. The main application is
emulation of the CLI interface (command line interface) on the client side.
