The WAN interface on the AAM6030VI uses two forms of PPP called PPPoA and PPPoE. See also PPPoA, PPPoE. Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet One of the two types of PPP interfaces you can define for a Virtual Circuit (VC), the other type being PPPoA. You can define one or more PPPoE interfaces per VC. A set of rules governing the transmission of data. In order for a data transmission to work, both ends of the connection have to follow the rules of the protocol. In a physically separate location. For example, an employee away on travel who logs in to the company's intranet is a remote user. Routing Information Protocol The original TCP/IP routing protocol. There are two versions of RIP: version I and version II. Registered Jack Standard-11 The standard plug used to connect telephones, fax machines, modems, etc. to a telephone jack. It is a 6-pin connector usually containing four wires. Registered Jack Standard-45 The 8-pin plug used in transmitting data over phone lines. Ethernet cabling usually uses this type of connector. Forwarding data between your network and the Internet on the most efficient route, based on the data's destination IP address and current network conditions. A device that performs routing is called a router. See filtering rule, NAT rule. Secondary Domain Name System (server) A DNS server that can be used if the primary DSN server is not available. See DNS. Simple Network Management Protocol The TCP/IP protocol used for network management. A subnet is a portion of a network. The subnet is distinguished from the larger network by a subnet mask which selects some of the computers of the network and excludes all others. The subnet's computers remain physically connected to the rest of the parent network, but they are treated as though they were on a separate network. See also network mask. A mask that defines a subnet. See also network mask. See TCP/IP. Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol The basic protocols used on the Internet. TCP is responsible for dividing data up into packets for delivery and reassembling them at the destination, while IP is responsible for delivering the packets from source to destination. When TCP and IP are bundled with higher-level applications such as HTTP, FTP, Telnet, etc., TCP/IP refers to this whole suite of protocols. An interactive, character-based program used to access a remote computer. While HTTP (the web protocol) and FTP only allow you to download files from a remote computer, Telnet allows you to log into and use a computer from a remote location. Trivial File Transfer Protocol A protocol for file transfers, TFTP is easier to use than File Transfer Protocol (FTP) but not as capable or secure. Time To Live A field in an IP packet that limits the life span of that packet. Originally meant as a time duration, the TTL is usually represented instead as a maximum hop count; 63
