Glossary A Address Address Path Administrator ARP Authentication Authorization In networking, a unique code that identifies a node in the network. Names such as host1.hp.com are translated to dot-quad addresses like 168.124.3.4 by the Domain Name Service (DNS). An address path is one in which each term has the appropriate intervening addressing association. A person managing a system through interaction with management clients, transport clients, and other policies and procedures. Address Resolution Protocol. A protocol used to associate an Internet Protocol (IP) address with a network hardware address (MAC address). The process that verifies the identity of a user in a communication session, or a device or other entity in a computer system, before that user, device, or other entity can access system resources. Session authentication can work in two directions: a server authenticates a client to make access control decisions, and the client can authenticate the server. With Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), the client always authenticates the server. The process of granting specific access privileges to a user. Authorization is based on authentication and access control. B Bind BIOS BMC In the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), refers to the authentication process that LDAP requires when users access the LDAP directory. Authentication occurs when the LDAP client binds to the LDAP server. Basic Input/Output System. System software that controls the loading of the operating system and testing of hardware when the system is powered on. The BIOS is stored in read-only memory (ROM). Baseboard Management Controller. A device used to manage chassis environmental, configuration, and service functions, and receive event data from other parts of the system. It receives data through sensor interfaces and interprets this data by using the sensor data record (SDR) to which it provides an interface. The BMC also provides an interface to the system event log (SEL). Typical functions of the BMC are measuring processor temperature, power supply values, and cooling fan status. The BMC can take autonomous action to preserve system integrity. C Command Line Interface (CLI) Console Console Serial Port A text-based interface that enables users to enter executable instructions at a command prompt. The interface between the iLO MP and the server that controls basic functionality. Also known as host console. A terminal connected to the console serial port (RS-232) on the service processor. A console serial port is used to configure the system to perform other administrative tasks. D DDNS Directory Server Distinguished Name (DN) Dynamic Domain Name System. DDNS is how iLO automatically registers the Domain Name System, so that when iLO receives its new IP address from DHCP, users can connect to the new iLO using the host name, rather than the new IP address. In the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), a server which stores and provides information about people and resources within an organization from a logically centralized location. In the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), a unique text string that identifies an entry's name and location within the directory. A DN can be a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) that includes the complete path from the root of the tree. 131

Glossary
A
Address
In networking, a unique code that identifies a node in the network. Names such as
host1.hp.com
are translated to dot-quad addresses like
168.124.3.4
by the Domain Name Service (DNS).
Address Path
An address path is one in which each term has the appropriate intervening addressing
association.
Administrator
A person managing a system through interaction with management clients, transport clients,
and other policies and procedures.
ARP
Address Resolution Protocol. A protocol used to associate an Internet Protocol (IP) address
with a network hardware address (MAC address).
Authentication
The process that verifies the identity of a user in a communication session, or a device or other
entity in a computer system, before that user, device, or other entity can access system resources.
Session authentication can work in two directions: a server authenticates a client to make access
control decisions, and the client can authenticate the server. With Secure Sockets Layer (SSL),
the client always authenticates the server.
Authorization
The process of granting specific access privileges to a user. Authorization is based on
authentication and access control.
B

In the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), refers to the authentication process that
LDAP requires when users access the LDAP directory. Authentication occurs when the LDAP
client binds to the LDAP server.
BIOS
Basic Input/Output System. System software that controls the loading of the operating system
and testing of hardware when the system is powered on. The BIOS is stored in read-only
memory (ROM).
BMC
Baseboard Management Controller. A device used to manage chassis environmental,
configuration, and service functions, and receive event data from other parts of the system. It
receives data through sensor interfaces and interprets this data by using the sensor data record
(SDR) to which it provides an interface. The BMC also provides an interface to the system event
log (SEL). Typical functions of the BMC are measuring processor temperature, power supply
values, and cooling fan status. The BMC can take autonomous action to preserve system integrity.
C
Command Line
Interface (CLI)
A text-based interface that enables users to enter executable instructions at a command prompt.
Console
The interface between the iLO MP and the server that controls basic functionality. Also known
as
host console
.
Console Serial
Port
A terminal connected to the console serial port (RS-232) on the service processor. A console
serial port is used to configure the system to perform other administrative tasks.
D
DDNS
Dynamic Domain Name System. DDNS is how iLO automatically registers the Domain Name
System, so that when iLO receives its new IP address from DHCP, users can connect to the new
iLO using the host name, rather than the new IP address.
Directory Server
In the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), a server which stores and provides
information about people and resources within an organization from a logically centralized
location.
Distinguished
Name (DN)
In the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), a unique text string that identifies an
entry's name and location within the directory. A DN can be a fully qualified domain name
(FQDN) that includes the complete path from the root of the tree.
