Glossary–3
RAM
Random Access Memory
. V
olatile memory within the
Ethernet Interface that contains current/working settings.
Settings are lost once the power is removed.
RARP
Reverse Address Resolution Protocol. Allows a network
device to discover its IP address dynamically upon bootup.
The IP address does not need to be stored within the device
itself permanently.
router
A device that forwards IP packets to their destination. Also
called a gateway.
RPRINTER
Remote Printer. A Novell print method where the Ethernet
Interface waits for jobs to be sent to it from a defined
PSERVER.
SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol. A standard protocol
used to monitor network devices called “SNMP agents.”
socket
TCP connection between two hosts consisting of a source
and destination TCP port number at each end.
subnet mask
A binary value used to divide IP networks into smaller
sub-networks or subnets. This mask is used to help
determine whether IP packets need to be forwarded on to
other subnets.
TCP/IP
Suite of protocols that act as the base protocol for the
Internet.
TCP port
A logical connection point in the software of a TCP host or
device. When two IP devices talk, they establish a socket
which consists of a source and destination TCP port number
on both ends.
telnet
Command and protocol to establish a terminal connection
between two hosts on an IP network.
