The Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) feature helps in logical grouping of
network host on different physical LAN segments, which can communicate
with each other as if they are all on the same physical LAN segment.
W
The Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) algorithm is the standard encryption
method used to protect wireless communication from eavesdropping.
A computer or program, connected to an access point network, that can
access the wireless network, download files for manipulation, run
applications, or request application-based services from a file server is called a
wireless client or a wireless station (STA).
A flexible data communication system implemented as an extension to or as
an alternative for a wired LAN within a building or campus. By using
electromagnetic waves, WLANs transmit and receive data over the air,
minimizing the need for wired connections.
Wi-Fi Protected Access is a security standard based on IEEE 802.11i
specification, that provides a high level of wireless network security. It uses
data encryption through the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). TKIP
scrambles the keys and ensures that the keys haven't been tampered with.
User authentication is performed through the Extensible Authentication
Protocol (EAP), to ensure that only authorized network users can access the
network.
