IEEE 802.3-2005 specification for 10 Mbps Ethernet over two pairs of 

Category 3 or better UTP cable.

IEEE 802.3-2005 specification for 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet over two pairs of 

Category 5 or better UTP cable.

IEEE 802.3ab specification for 1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet over four pairs 

of Category 5 or better UTP cable.

An internetworking device that seamlessly connects wired and wireless 

networks. Access points attached to a wired network, support the creation 

of multiple radio cells that enable roaming throughout a facility.

Advanced Encryption Standard: An encryption algorithm that implements 

symmetric key cryptography. AES provides very strong encryption using a 

completely different ciphering algorithm to TKIP and WEP.

The process to verify the identity of a client requesting network access. 

IEEE 802.11 specifies two forms of authentication: open system and 

shared key.

The core infrastructure of a network. The portion of the network that 

transports information from one central location to another central location 

where it is unloaded onto a local system.

A signal periodically transmitted from the access point that is used to 

identify the service set, and to maintain contact with wireless clients.

Broadcast keys are sent to stations using dynamic keying. Dynamic 

broadcast key rotation is often used to allow the access point to generate a 

random group key and periodically update all key-management capable 

wireless clients.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol: Provides a framework for passing 

configuration information to hosts on a TCP/IP network. DHCP is based on
