category 5e cables

One of five grades of Twisted Pair (TP) cabling defined by the EIA/TIA-568 standard. Category 5e can be used in Ethernet (10BASE-T), Fast Ethernet (100BASE-TX) and Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) networks, and can transmit data at speeds of up to 1000 Mbps.

category 6 cable

One of five grades of Twisted Pair (TP) cabling defined by the EIA/TIA-568-B standard. Category 6 can be used in Ethernet (10BASE-T), Fast Ethernet (100BASE-TX) and Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) networks, and can transmit data at speeds of up to 1000 Mbps.

client

The term used to describe the desktop PC that is connected to your network.

DHCP

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This protocol automatically assigns an IP address for every computer on your network. Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows NT 4.0 contain software that assigns IP addresses to workstations on a network. These assignments are made by the DHCP server software that runs on Windows NT Server.

Ethernet

A LAN specification developed jointly by Xerox, Intel and Digital Equipment Corporation. Ethernet networks use CSMA/CD to transmit packets at a rate of 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps over a variety of cables.

Ethernet address

See MAC address.

Fast Ethernet

An Ethernet system that is designed to operate at 100 Mbps.

Gigabit Ethernet

An Ethernet system that is designed to operate at 1000 Mbps.

full-duplex

A system that allows packets to be transmitted and received at the same time and, in effect, doubles the potential throughput of a link.

half-duplex

A system that allows packets to be transmitted and received, but not at the same time. Half-duplex is not supported for 1000 Mbps. Contrast with full-duplex.

IEEE

Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. This American organization was founded in 1963 and sets standards for computers and communications.

IEEE 802.1D

Specifies a general method for the operation of MAC bridges, including the Spanning Tree Protocol.

IEEE 802.1Q

VLAN Tagging - Defines Ethernet frame tags that carry VLAN information. It allows switches to assign endstations to different virtual LANs, and defines a
