R

RARP

Reverse Address Resolution Protocol, a TCP/IP protocol that allows

 

a phys ical address, such as an Ethernet address, to be translated

 

into an IP address.

RJ-45

RJ-45 connector is used for Ethernet cable connections.

Router

A router is the network software or hardware entity charged with

 

routing packets between networks.

 

S

Server

It is a simple computer that provides resources, such as files or other

 

information.

SMTP

The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol is used for Internet mail.

SNMP

Simple Network Management Protocol. SNMP was designed to

 

provide a common foundation for managing network devices.

Station

In LANs, a station consists of a device that can communicate data on

 

the network. In FDDI, a station includes both physical nodes and

 

addressable logical devices. Workstations, sing le-attach stations,

 

dual-

 

attach stations, and concentrators are FDDI stations.

Subnet mask

In TCP/IP, the bits used to create the subnet are called the

subnetmask.

 

 

T

(TCP/IP)

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol is a widely used

 

transport protocol that connects diverse computers of various

 

transmission methods. It was developed by the Department of

 

Defense to connect different computer types and led to the

 

development of

 

the Internet.

Transceiver

A transceiver joins two network segments together. Transceivers can

 

also be us ed to join a segment that uses one medium to a segment

 

that uses a different medium. On a 10BASE-5 network, the

 

transceiver

 

connects the network adapter or other network device to the medium.

 

Transceivers also can be used on 10BASE-2 or 10BASE-T networks

 

to attach devices with AUI ports.

 

U

UDP

The User Datagram Protocol is a connectionless protocol that resides

 

above IP in the TCP/IP suite.

ULP

The upper-layer protocol refers to Application Layer protocols such

 

as FTP,SNMP, and SMTP.

User Name

The USERNAME is the unique name assigned to each person who

 

has access to the LAN.

Utility

It is a program that performs a specific task.
