Glossary

ARP

The ARP command is used to display or modify the contents of the ARP table. The table is built by the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP), and is used to map IP addresses to Ethernet addresses. To view the contents of the ARP table use the -a command option. Store new entries in the table with the -s option, and delete unwanted entries with -d.

Banding

Specifies the method for the Banding operation performed in the printer driver. As Banding defines the output image data of a page by processing it in rectangular bitmap sections called Bands, you can print a document faster. If [On] is selected, Banding is constantly performed; but if [Auto] is selected, Banding is performed only when necessary.

BOOTP

BOOTstrap Protocol. A protocol that enables a client machine to automatically obtain network setup information from a server over a TCP/IP network. BOOTP enables a client to automatically allocate such information as the host name, domain name, and IP address, so that it is not necessary to enter these items manually.

Buffer size

The size of a data area, or buffer, shared by devices or programs working at different speeds or with different priorities. The buffer is designed to prevent one device or process from being held up by another. For this to be possible, the buffer must be set up correctly.

Container object

An object in the directory tree of a NetWare network which can hold other objects. An organizational unit such as a company department is a container object. This organizational unit can contain objects representing network resources, such as workstations, servers, and printers.

Context

In NetWare, this indicates the location of an object existing in the directory tree.
