Term Definition disaster recovery disk DNS server (Domain Name System server) domain domain name Ethernet Ethernet address Ethernet port A strategy that allows a company to return to normal activities after a catastrophic interruption. Through failover to a parallel system or by restoration of the failed system, disaster recovery restores the system to its normal operating mode. A rigid platter, usually constructed of aluminum or mylar, with a magnetic surface that allows the recording of data, that is stored inside the drive. The server that maintains a mapping of all host names and IP addresses. Normally, this mapping is maintained by the system administrator, but some servers support dynamic mappings. A set of network resources in Windows NT and Windows 2000, such as users and groups of users. A domain may also include multiple servers on the network. To gain access to these network resources, the user logs into the domain. The ASCII name that identifies the domain for a group of computers within a network. The most widely installed local area network technology. 10Base-T Ethernet provide transmission speeds of up to 10 Mbps. Fast Ethernet or 100Base-T provides transmission speeds up to 100 Mbps and is typically used for LAN backbone systems, supporting workstations with 10Base-T cards. Gigabit Ethernet provides an even higher level of backbone support at 1000 Mbps (one Gigabit or one billion bits per second). The unique six-digit hexadecimal (0-9, A-F) number that identifies the Ethernet interface. The port that houses the network card to provide Ethernet access to the computer. event failover Any significant occurrence in the system that may require notifying a system administrator or adding an entry to a log. A strategy that enables one Ethernet port to assume the role of another port if the first port fails. If a port fails on a Snap Server, the second port assumes its network identity (if the two Ethernet cards have been configured for failover). When the port comes back online, the original identities are restored. Failover is possible only in a dual-Ethernet configuration. 119
