10BaseT - An Ethernet standard that uses twisted wire pairs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

100BaseTX - IEEE physical layer specification for 100 Mbps over two pairs

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

of Category 5 UTP or STP wire.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1000BASE-T- provides half-duplex (CSMA/CD) and full-duplex 1000Mb/s

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ethernet service over Category 5 links as defined by ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-A.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Topology rules for 1000BASE-T are the same as those used for 100BASE-T.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Category 5 link lengths are limited to 100 meters by the ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A cabling standard. Only one CSMA/CD repeater will be allowed in a colli-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

sion domain.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

802.1x - Based on the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), the 802.1x

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

standard is one of the IEEE standards for network authentication and key

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

management. It establishes a framework that supports multiple authentication

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

methods. This standard can be incorporated into any type of network to

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

enhance its security.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For example, a wireless user may use one of the authentication methods to

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

access a wireless network protected by an authentication server. The user, also

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

called the supplicant, sends a request to an access point or wireless router,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

also called the authenticator. The authenticator sends an identification request

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

back to the user. After the user sends the authenticator the identification mes-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

sage, the authenticator forwards the user's identification message to the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

authentication server. If the server accepts the identification message, then

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the user is permitted access to the wireless network. The 802.1x standard can

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

also support encryption key management to strengthen wireless network

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

encryption services.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Adapter - Printed circuit board that plugs into a PC to add to capabilities or

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

connectivity to a PC. In a networked environment, a network interface card

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(NIC) is the typical adapter that allows the PC or server to connect to the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

intranet and/or Internet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Architecture - The total design and implementation of the network. It

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

includes the network's topology, transmission technologies and communica-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

tions protocols, management and security systems, and any other attributes

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

that give a network a particular set of capabilities and functionalities.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) - A TCP/IP protocol used to figure out a

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

host's Ethernet address (MAC address/node ID) from its Internet address.
