Glossary of Networking Terms

Default Gateway - A device on an Internetwork that forwards packets to another network.

DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol allocates IP addresses to computers on the network automatically without assigning a computer a static (fixed) IP address.

DNS - A Domain Name System is a hierarchical naming system that resolves a domain name with its associated IP address. A DNS server looks up the name of a computer and finds the corresponding IP address. This allows users to access hosts using friendly text-based names instead of IP addresses. These names are called fully qualified domain names (FQDN).

IP Address - An Internet Protocol Address is a thirty-two bit number that identifies a computer or other resource on the Internet or on any TCP/IP network. The number is usually expressed as four numbers from 0 to 255 separated by periods, for example, 172.16.31.254.

ISP - An Internet Service Provider is the company that provides a connection to the Internet.

LAN - A Local Area Network is typically a group of computers located at a single location, and is commonly based on the Ethernet architecture.

NAT - Network Address Translation is an Internet standard that allows your local network to use private IP addresses, which are not recognized on the Internet. The IP address used for the router is the only routable IP address. The computers behind the NAT can access the Internet through the router, but Internet users cannot access the computers behind the router.

Packet - A unit of information transmitted over the Internet or within any TCP/IP network. Packets have a header, which contains information about the source, destination, and protocol to be used for the data, and a body, which contains the data being transmitted.

PPPoE - The Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet supports the transmission of network packets over an analog phone line.

Private IP Address - An IP address for a resource in your network that is not known or published outside the zone (for example LAN) where it is located.

Public IP Address - An IP address for a resource in your network that is published outside your network to the WAN.

Router - A device that routes data between networks through IP address information in the header of the IP packet. A router forwards packets to other routers until the packets reach their destination. The Internet is the largest example of a routed network.

SSID - A Service Set Identifier is a unique string of characters that identifies a wireless network
