The range of frequencies available across a com-

The BOOTstrap Protocol, a method network de-
vices can use to obtain TCP/IP configuration
information from a central location on startup.
A LAN device used to connect two different
LANs so that packets can be transmitted from one
to the other. A bridge works on a low level, and
does not take higher-level protocols into consid-
eration. In this document and the hub
management software, switching modules are
most often referred to as bridges.
The practice of connecting identical or similar
LAN devices such as hubs together directly so
that they function as one device. A collection of
cascaded devices is often called a stack.
Communication cabling standards referring to the
quality of the transmission medium and whether
or not the cable includes transmission leakage
shielding.
Simultaneous data transmission on a network me-
dium, resulting in a garbled (and unreadable)
transmission. See
A section of a network isolated from other sec-
