Appendix A: Glossary of Terms

802.1D

802.1Q defines a layer 2 frame structure that supports VLAN identification and a QoS

802.1Q

mechanism usually referred to as 802.1D.

 

 

802.1X

Authentication method for a protocol requiring a network device to authenticate with a

 

back-end Authentication Server before gaining network access. Applicable 9600

 

Series IP telephones support IEEE 802.1X for pass-through and for Supplicant

 

operation with the EAP-MD5 authentication method. SIP Software Release 2.0 and up

 

supports 802.1X.

ARP

Address Resolution Protocol, used, for example, to verify that the IP Address provided

 

by the DHCP server is not in use by another IP telephone.

 

 

CELP

Code-excited linear-predictive. Voice compression requiring only 16 kbps of

 

bandwidth.

CLAN

Control LAN, a type of circuit pack.

 

 

CNA

Converged Network Analyzer, an Avaya product to test and analyze network

 

performance.

DHCP

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, an IETF protocol used to automate IP Address

 

allocation and management.

 

 

DiffServ

Differentiated Services, an IP-based QoS mechanism.

 

 

DNS

Domain Name System, an IETF standard for ASCII strings to represent IP

 

Addresses. The Domain Name System (DNS) is a distributed Internet directory

 

service. DNS is used mostly to translate between domain names and IP Addresses.

 

Avaya 9600 Series IP Telephones can use DNS to resolve names into IP Addresses.

 

In DHCP, TFTP, and HTTP files, DNS names can be used wherever IP Addresses

 

were available as long as a valid DNS server is identified first.

 

 

EAP

Extensible Authentication Protocol, or EAP, a universal authentication framework

 

frequently used in wireless networks and Point-to-Point connections defined by RFC

 

3748. EAP provides some common functions and a negotiation of the desired

 

authentication methods, two of which are EAP-MD5 and EAP-TLS. When EAP is

 

invoked by an 802.1X enabled NAS (Network Access Server) device such as an

 

802.11 a/b/g Wireless Access Point, modern EAP methods provide a secure

 

authentication mechanism and negotiate a secure PMK (Pair-wise Master Key)

 

between the client and the NAS.

H.323

A TCP/IP-based protocol for VoIP signaling. An alternative to SIP for VoIP signaling.

 

One of the two protocols 9600 Series IP Telephones support.

 

 

HTTP

Hypertext Transfer Protocol, used to request and transmit pages on the World Wide

 

Web.
