Domain

A grouping of hosts that is identified by a name. The hosts usually belong to the same Internet

 

Protocol (IP) network address.
Domain Name

The unique name assigned to a system or group of systems on the Internet. The host names of

 

all the systems in the group have the same domain name suffix. Domain names are interpreted

 

from right to left.

E

 

Ethernet

An industry-standard type of local area network (LAN) that enables real-time communication

 

between systems connected directly through cables. Ethernet uses a Carrier Sense Multiple

 

Access/Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) algorithm as its access method, which all nodes listen

 

for, and any node can begin transmitting data. If multiple nodes attempt to transmit at the same

 

time (a collision), the transmitting nodes wait for a random time before attempting to transmit

 

again.
Event

A change in the state of a managed object. The event-handling subsystem can provide a

 

notification, to which a software system must respond when it occurs, but which the software

 

did not solicit or control.
Extended Schema

A platform-specific schema derived from the common model. An example is the Win32 schema.

F

 

Firmware

Software that is typically used to help with the initial booting stage of a system and with system

 

management. Firmware is embedded in read-only memory (ROM) or programmable ROM

 

(PROM).
FPGA

Field Programmable Gate Array. A semiconductor device containing programmable logic

 

components and programmable interconnects.
FTP

File Transfer Protocol. A basic Internet protocol based on Transmission Control Protocol/Internet

 

Protocol (TCP/IP) that enables the retrieving and storing of files between systems on the Internet

 

without regard for the operating systems or architectures of the systems involved in the file

 

transfer.

G

 

Gateway

A computer or program that interconnects two networks and passes data packets between the

 

networks. A gateway has more than one network interface.
Gateway Address

Where the packet needs to be sent. This can be the local network card or a gateway (router) on

 

the local subnet.
GUI

Graphical User Interface. An interface that uses graphics, along with a keyboard and mouse,

 

to provide easy-to-use access to an application.

H

 

Host

A system, such as a backend server, with an assigned Internet Protocol (IP) address and host

 

name. The host is accessed by other remote systems on the network.
Host Console

The interface between the iLO 2 MP and the server that controls basic functionality. Also known

 

as console.
Host ID

Part of the 32-bit Internet Protocol (IP) address used to identify a host on a network. Host ID

 

is also known as DNS Name or Host Name.
Host Name

The name of a particular machine within a domain. Host names always map to a specific Internet

 

Protocol (IP) address.
HTTP

Hypertext Transfer Protocol. The Internet protocol that retrieves hypertext objects from remote

 

hosts. HTTP messages consist of requests from client to server, and responses from server to

 

client. HTTP is based on Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
