  • Page 166: What Is A Firewall

    Appendix A: Router Terms What is a firewall? A firewall is a device that protects one network from another, while allowing communication between the two. A firewall incorporates the functions of the NAT router, while adding features for dealing with a hacker intrusion or attack.

  • Page 167: What Is A Gateway

    What is a Gateway? The Internet is so large that a single network cannot handle all of the traffic and still deliver a reasonable level of service. To overcome this limitation, the network is broken down into smaller segments or subnets that can deliver good performance for the stations attached to that segment.

    Appendix B: Frequently Asked Questions The Frequently Asked Questions addresses common questions regarding 4 Ports 11g Wireless ADSL2/2+ Router settings. Some of these questions are also found throughout the guide, in the sections to which they reference. How do I determine if a link between the Ethernet card (NIC) and the 4 Ports 11g Wireless ADSL2/2+ Router has been established? Ans.
  • Page 169 What is ISM band? Ans. The FCC and their counterparts outside of the U.S. have set aside bandwidth for unlicensed use in the ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) band. Spectrum in the vicinity of 2.4 GHz, in particular, is being made available worldwide.
  • Page 170 What is SSID? Ans. Short for Service Set Identifier. SSID is a 32 character unique identifier attached to the header of packets sent over a WLAN that acts as a password when a mobile device tries to connect to the BSS. The SSID differentiates one WLAN from another, so all Access Point and all devices attempting to connect to a specific WLAN must use the same SSID.

  • Page 179 CHAP: Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol: Typically more secure than PAP, CHAP uses username and password in combination with a randomly generated challenge string which has to be authenticated using a one-way hashing function. CLP: Cell Loss Priority: ATM cells have two levels of priority, CLP0 and CLP1. CLP0 is of higher priority, and in times of high traffic congestion, CLP1 error cells may be discarded to preserve the Cell Loss Ratio of the CLP0 cells.
  • Page 180 FEC: Forward Error Correction: An error correction technique in which a data packet is processed through an algorithm that adds extra error correcting bits to the packet. If the transmitted message is received in error, these bits are used to correct the errored bits without retransmission. Firewall: A firewall is a method of implementing common as well as user defined security policies in an effort to keep intruders out.

Each of these host computers have a unique IP address which distinguishes it from all the other computers on the internet.
  • Page 182 NAT: Network Address Translation: The translation of an IP address of one network to a different IP address known by another network. This gives an outside (WAN) network the ability to distinguish a device on the inside (LAN) network, as the inside network has a private set of IP address assigned by the DHCP server not known to the outside network.
  • Page 183 SNAP: SubNetwork Attachment Point. SNMP: Simple Network Management Protocol: Used to govern network management and monitor devices on the network. SNMP is formally described in RFC 1157. SNR: Signal-to-Noise Ratio: Measured in decibels, SNR is a calculated ratio of signal strength to background noise.
  • Page 184 VCI: Virtual Channel Identifier: A virtual channel identified by a unique numerical tag that is defined by a 16-bit field in the ATM cell header. The purpose of the virtual channel is to identify where the cell should travel. VC-Mux: Virtual Circuit based Multiplexing: In VC Based Multiplexing, the interconnect protocol of the carried network is identified implicitly by the VC (Virtual Circuit) connecting the two ATM stations (each protocol must be carried over a separate VC).
