	Glossary
	example, a sub-network 192.168.16.64 with mask
	255.255.255.224, the addresses we may assign to computers
	on the sub-network are 192.168.16.65 to 192.168.16.94, with
	a broadcast address of 192.168.16.95.
	A number used by software to separate the local subnet
	address from the rest of a given Internet protocol address
	Network masks divide IP addresses into two parts (network
	address and address of a particular host within the network).
	Mask have the same form as IP addresses (i.e.
	255.255.255.0), however, its value is needed to be
	understood as a 32-bit number with certain number of ones
	on the left end and zeros as the rest. The mask cannot have an
	arbitrary value. The primary function of a subnet mask is to
	define the number of IP hosts that participate in an IP subnet.
	Computers in the same IP subnet should not require a router
	for network communication.
NFS	Network File System is a protocol suite developed and
	licensed by Sun Microsystems that allows different makes of
	computers running different
	operating systems to share files and disk storage. NFS is
	implemented using a connectionless protocol (UDP) in order
	to make it stateless.
NTP	Network Time Protocol. A standard for synchronizing your
	system clock with the ``true time'', defined as the average of
	many high-accuracy clocks around the world.
Object Identifiers (OID)	The SNMP manager or the management application uses a
	well-defined naming syntax to specify the variables to the
	SNMP agent. Object names in this syntax are called Object
	Identifiers (Object IDs or OIDs). OIDs are series of numbers
	that uniquely identify an object to an SNMP agent. OIDs are
	arranged in a hierarchical, inverted tree structure.
	The OID tree begins with the root and expands into branches.
	Each point in the OID tree is called a node and each node will
