switches) that cover a relatively small geographic area (usually not larger than a floor or building). LANs are characterized by high transmission speeds over short distances (up to 1000 metres).

Layer 2

Data Link layer in the ISO 7-Layer Data Communications Protocol. This is related directly to the hardware interface for the network devices and passes on traffic based on MAC addresses.

Link Aggregation

See Trunking.

MAC

Media Access Control. A protocol specified by the IEEE for determining which devices have access to a network at any one time.

MAC Address

Media Access Control Address. Also called the hardware, physical or Ethernet address. A layer 2 address associated with a particular network device. Most devices that connect to a LAN have a MAC address assigned to them as they are used to identify other devices in a network. MAC addresses are 6 bytes long.

Network

A Network is a collection of computers and other computer equipment that are connected for the

purpose of exchanging information or sharing resources. Networks vary in size, some are within a single room, others span continents.

Ping

Packet Internet Groper. An Internet utility used to determine whether a particular IP address is online. It is used to test and debug a network by sending out a packet and waiting for a response.

Protocol

A set of rules for communication between devices on a network. The rules dictate format, timing, sequencing and error control.

RJ-45

A standard connector used to connect Ethernet networks. The "RJ" stands for "registered jack."
