Glossary
T
Temporal Key Integrity Protocol. Also referred to as WEP key hashing. A security feature that defends
TKIP
against an attack on WEP in which the intruder uses the initialization vector (IV) in encrypted packets
to calculate the WEP key. TKIP removes the predictability that an intruder relies on to determine the
WEP key by exploiting IVs.
The power level of radio transmission.
transmit power
U
Packets transmitted in point-to-point communication.
unicast packets
Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure. An FCC regulatory domain for 5-GHz wireless
UNII
devices. UNII bands are 100 MHz wide and divided into four channels when using 802.11a OFDM
modulation.
A UNII band dedicated to in-building wireless LAN applications. UNII 1 is located at 5.15 to 5.25 GHz
UNII 1
and allows for a maximum transmit power of 40 mW (or 16 dBm) with an antenna up to 6 dBi. UNII 1
regulations require a nonremovable, integrated antenna.
A UNII band dedicated to in-building wireless LAN applications. UNII 2 is located at 5.25 to 5.35 GHz
UNII 2
and allows for a maximum transmit power of 200 mW (or 23 dBm) with an antenna up to 6 dBi. UNII
2 regulations allow for an auxiliary, user-installable antenna.
A UNII band dedicated to wireless LAN applications. UNII 3 is located at 5.725 to 5.825 GHz and
UNII 3
allows for a maximum transmit power of 1 Watt (or 30 dBm) with an antenna up to 6 dBi. UNII 3
regulations allow for an auxiliary, user-installable antenna.
V
A switched network that is logically segmented, by functions, project teams, or applications rather than
VLAN
on a physical or geographical basis. For example, all workstations and servers used by a particular
workgroup team can be connected to the same VLAN regardless of their physical connections to the
network or the fact that they might be intermingled with other teams. You use VLANs to reconfigure
the network through software rather than physically unplugging and moving devices or wires.
A VLAN consists of a number of end systems, either hosts or network equipment (such as bridges and
routers), connected by a single bridging domain. The bridging domain is supported on various pieces
of network equipment such as LAN switches that operate bridging protocols between them with a
separate group for each VLAN.
