message integrity

See MIC.

code

 

MIC

Message integrity code. The IEEE term for a message authentication

 

code (MAC). See MAC.

Microsoft Challenge

See MS-CHAP-V2.

Handshake

 

Authentication

 

Protocol

 

minimum data

The lowest rate at which a Managed Access Point (MAP) can transmit

transmit rate

data to its associated mobile clients. If the data rate to a client drops

 

below the minimum, the MAP increases power, if RF Auto-Tuning is

 

enabled.

Mobility Domain™

A collection of Wireless Switches (WXs) working together to support a

 

roaming user (client).

Mobility Profile™

A user (client) authorization attribute that specifies the Managed Access

 

Points (MAPs) or wired authentication ports the client can use in a

 

Mobility Domain™ group.

Mobility System

The 3Com operating system, accessible through a command-line

Software™ (MSS™)

interface (CLI) or the 3Com Wireless Switch Manager (3WXM) tool

 

suite, that enables 3Com Mobility System products to operate as a

 

single system. Mobility System Software (MSS) performs authentication,

 

authorization, and accounting (AAA) functions; manages Wireless

 

Switches (WXs) and Managed Access Points (MAPs); and maintains the

 

wireless LAN (WLAN) by means of such network structures as Mobility

 

Domain™ groups, virtual LANs (VLANs), tunnels, spanning trees, and

 

link aggregation.

MPDU

MAC protocol data unit. In IEEE 802.11 communications, the data unit

 

(or frame) that two peer media access control (MAC) service access

 

points (SAPs) exchange through the services of the Physical layer (PHY).

 

An MPDU consists of MAC headers and a MAC service data unit

 

(MSDU). See also MSDU.

MS-CHAP-V2

Microsoft Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol version 2.

 

Microsoft’s extension to CHAP. MS-CHAP-V2 is a mutual authentication

 

protocol, defined in RFC 2759, that also permits a single login in a

 

Microsoft network environment. See also CHAP.
