RAD Data comm Modular Access Device with Integrated Router Manuel D’Utilisation

 

 D-1 

 - 10BaseT is a LAN protocol that allows stations to be attached via 

twisted pair cable. 
ARP

 (Address Resolution Protocol) - ARP is a method for finding a host's Ethernet 

address from its Internet address. The sender broadcasts an ARP packet containing 
the Internet address of another host and waits for the second host to send back its 
Ethernet address. 
ARP is defined in RFC 826. 
Bandwidth

 - Bandwidth is the rate at which data passes through the link. The 

greater the bandwidth, the more information can be sent through the link at a 
particular time. 
Bridging

 - Bridging is the forwarding of traffic between network segments based 

on data link layer information. These segments have a common network layer 

address. 
Broadcast

 - Broadcast is a transmission to multiple, unspecified recipients. On an 

Ethernet network, a broadcast packet is a special type of multicast packet which all 
nodes on the network are always willing to receive. 
Default Gateway

 - Default Gateway is a routing table entry that is used to direct 

packets addressed to hosts or networks not explicitly listed in the routing table. 
DHCP 

- The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) provides a framework 

for passing configuration information to hosts on a TCP/IP network. 
DLCI (Data Link Control Identifier)

 - DLCI is a channel number that is attached 

to data frames to tell the network how to route the data in Frame Relay Networks. 
DNS

 (Domain Name System) - DNS is a general-purpose distributed, replicated, 

data query service chiefly used on Internet for translating hostnames into Internet 
IP addresses. 
DNS is defined in STD 13, RFCs 1034 and 1035. 
Dynamic Station

 - A dynamic station is a host that is added automatically to an 

ARP or LAN table. 
E1/T1

 - E1/T1 services provide high-speed connections. E1/T1 supports Frame 

Relay, PPP and HDLC, providing the flexibility to support high-performance point-
to-point or point-to-multipoint topologies. 
Firewall 

- A firewall system controls access to or from a protected network (i.e., a 

site). It implements a network access policy by forcing connections to pass through 
the firewall, where they can be examined and evaluated. 
Frame Relay

 - Frame Relay is a packet-switching protocol for connecting devices 

on a WAN. Frame Relay networks support data rates up to 1.544Mbps.
