    G. Glossary of Terms NUMBERS 10BASE-T 10BASE-T is Ethernet over UTP Category III,IV, or V unshielded twisted-pair media. 100BASE-TX 100BASE-T is called 100BASE-TX. An IEEE standard for wireless local area networks. It 802.11g offers transmissions speeds at up to 54 Mbps in the 2.4- GHz band.
  • Page 112 Address Resolution Protocol. ARP is a protocol that resides at the TCP/IP Internet layer that delivers data on the same network by translating an IP address to a physical address. Audio Video Interleave, it is a Windows platform audio and video file format. BOOTP Bootstrap Protocol is an Internet protocol that can automatically configure a network device in a diskless...
  • Page 113 addressing, a device can have a different IP address every time it connects to the network. In some systems, the device's IP address can even change while it is still connected. DHCP also supports a mix of static and dynamic IP addresses. network administrators because the software keeps track of IP addresses rather than requiring an administrator to manage the task.
  • Page 114 The most popular LAN communication technology. Ethernet There are a variety of types of Ethernet, including 10 Mbps (traditional Ethernet), 100 Mbps (Fast Ethernet), and 1,000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet). Most Ethernet networks use Category 5 cabling to carry information, in the form of electrical signals, between devices. Ethernet is an implementation of CSMA/CD that operates in a bus or star topology.
  • Page 115 Short for hexadecimal refers to the base-16 number system, which consists of 16 unique symbols: the numbers 0 to 9 and the letters A to F. For example, the decimal number 15 is represented as F in the hexadecimal numbering system. The hexadecimal system is useful because it can represent every byte (8 bits) as two consecutive hexadecimal digits.
  • Page 116 format used to route the information. Your Internet service provider controls the IP address of any device it connects to the Internet. The IP addresses in your network must conform to IP addressing rules. smaller LANs, most people will allow the DHCP function of a router or gateway to assign the IP addresses on internal networks.
  • Page 117 Local Area Network a computer network that spans a relatively small area sharing common resources. Most LANs are confined to a single building or group of buildings. Network Address Translator generally applied by a router, that makes many different IP addresses on an internal network appear to the Internet as a single address.
  • Page 118 NWay Protocol A network protocol that can automatically negotiate the highest possible transmission speed between two devices. PING Packet Internet Groper, a utility used to determine whether a specific IP address is accessible. It functions by sending a packet to the specified address and waits for a reply.
  • Page 119 for transferors the medium include token-passing and Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD),implemented as token-ring, ARCNET, FDDI, or Ethernet. The Router Information Protocol (RIP),a Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) suite, forwards packets from one network to another using the same network protocol.
  • Page 120 In LANs, a station consists of a device that can Station communicate data on the network. In FDDI, a station includes both physical nodes and addressable logical devices. Workstations, single-attach stations, dual- attach stations, and concentrators are FDDI stations. In TCP/IP, the bits used to create the subnet are called Subnet mask the subnet mask.
  • Page 121 The upper-layer protocol refers to Application Layer protocols such as FTP,SNMP, and SMTP. User Name The USERNAME is the unique name assigned to each person who has access to the LAN. It is a program that performs a specific task. Utility Unshielded twisted-pair.
