CyberSWITCH 100 Advanced User Information 59

An extension of the Internet 32-bit addressing scheme that allows the 

separation of physical or logical networks within the single network number assigned to an 
organization. TCP/IP entities outside this organization have no knowledge of the internal 
“subnetting.”

A 32-bit internet protocol address mask used to identify a particular 

subnetwork.

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. Refers to a set of internetworking 

protocols developed by the U.S. Department of Defense that define a two level layered approach 
for interoperability. TCP provides a connection-oriented Transport layer ensuring end-to-end 
reliability in data transmission. IP provides for Network layer connectivity using connectionless 
datagrams.

Internet standard protocol for remote terminal emulation that allows a user to 

remotely log in to another device and appear as if directly connected.

Trivial File Transfer Protocol. A simplified version of the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) 

allowing for file transfer between computers over a network.

Bridging technique used in Ethernet networks that allows transfer of 

frames across intermediate nodes using tables associating end nodes with bridging addresses. 
Bridges are unknown to the end nodes.

User Datagram Protocol. A connectionless protocol used to pass packets across an 

internet network, requiring no handshaking between source and destination.

Frames sent out by servers to clients, under IPX, to verify that clients are 

still logged on.

A communications network that is geographically dispersed thus 

requiring links provided by communications carriers.

Computer or terminal used by the systems administration or user.
