Networking glossary numbers 10/100 Base-T: A technical term for Ethernet. 10/100 refers to the speed at which the Ethernet network functions. 10 indicates 10 megabits per second (Mb/s) for normal Ethernet, and 100 indicates 100 Mb/s for Fast Ethernet. 802.11a: A type of wireless networking that provides up to 54 Mb/s transmission in the 5 GHz band. 802.11b: A type of wireless networking that provides up to 11 Mb/s transmission (with a fallback to 5.5, 2 and 1 Mb/s) in the 2.4 GHz band. 802.11g: A type of wireless networking that provides up to 54 Mb/s transmission in the 2.4 GHz band. a Ad hoc network: A type of wireless network in which devices directly communicate with each other rather than through a Wireless Access Point (WAP). Ad hoc networks are typically small and simple (for example, two wireless PCs or a wireless PC and a wireless printer). Performance on these types of networks can degrade if more than six devices are on the network. Ad hoc networks are also known as peer-to-peer networks, independent basic service stations (IBSS), or direct-connect wireless networks. AES: Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a U.S. government sponsored encryption method that uses a complex algorithm called "Rijndael." AES uses encryption keys to encode data. AES automatically changes the encryption keys after a certain time interval, thus making the wireless network less vulnerable to eavesdropping. Authentication: Authentication is a wireless network security strategy. On a network with authentication, devices use a shared key as a password and communicate only with devices that know the key. Authentication does not encrypt the data sent between wireless devices. Authentication can be used in conjunction with WEP. Authentication keys and WEP keys can be identical. AutoIP: A process by which a device on a network automatically assigns an IP address to itself. b BOOTP: Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) is an Internet protocol that enables a device to discover its own IP address, the IP address of a BOOTP server on the network, and a file to be loaded into memory to boot the machine. This enables the device to boot without requiring a hard or floppy disk drive. Broadcast packet: A packet sent from one device on a network to all devices on the network. User's guide 43

10/100 Base-T
: A technical term for Ethernet. 10/100 refers to the speed at which the
Ethernet network functions. 10 indicates 10 megabits per second (Mb/s) for normal
Ethernet, and 100 indicates 100 Mb/s for Fast Ethernet.
802.11a
: A type of wireless networking that provides up to 54 Mb/s transmission in the
5 GHz band.
802.11b
: A type of wireless networking that provides up to 11 Mb/s transmission (with a
fallback to 5.5, 2 and 1 Mb/s) in the 2.4 GHz band.
802.11g
: A type of wireless networking that provides up to 54 Mb/s transmission in the
2.4 GHz band.
a
Ad hoc network
: A type of wireless network in which devices directly communicate with
each other rather than through a Wireless Access Point (WAP). Ad hoc networks are
typically small and simple (for example, two wireless PCs or a wireless PC and a wireless
printer). Performance on these types of networks can degrade if more than six devices
are on the network. Ad hoc networks are also known as peer-to-peer networks,
independent basic service stations (IBSS), or direct-connect wireless networks.
AES
: Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a U.S. government sponsored encryption
method that uses a complex algorithm called "Rijndael." AES uses encryption keys to
encode data. AES automatically changes the encryption keys after a certain time interval,
thus making the wireless network less vulnerable to eavesdropping.
Authentication
: Authentication is a wireless network security strategy. On a network
with authentication, devices use a shared key as a password and communicate only with
devices that know the key. Authentication does not encrypt the data sent between
wireless devices. Authentication can be used in conjunction with WEP. Authentication
keys and WEP keys can be identical.
AutoIP
: A process by which a device on a network automatically assigns an IP address
to itself.
b
BOOTP
: Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) is an Internet protocol that enables a device to
discover its own IP address, the IP address of a BOOTP server on the network, and a
file to be loaded into memory to boot the machine. This enables the device to boot without
requiring a hard or floppy disk drive.
Broadcast packet
: A packet sent from one device on a network to all devices on the
network.
