Glossary

HDLC	High-level data link control. A link level protocol used by PPP.
IETF	Internal Engineering Task Force.
interface	The connection between a host and a network.
internet	A network of networks.
IP Network	A symbolic name assigned to a virtual subnet IP address. This
Security	name matches the group ID assigned on the NAC. Four such IP
Group	Network Security groups are supported in LCS60 R2.0; the first
	IP Network Security group name assigned is the uname.
IPCP	IP control protocol.
IPX	Internetwork Packet Exchange protocol.
LAN	Local area network.
LCM	LAN Communications Manager.
LCS	LAN Communications Systems.
MIB	Management information base.
NAC	The Lucent Technologies Network Access Controller. The NAC
	is used to provide network security.
network	The name by which the network is identified in the configura-
name	tion database. (In Figure 3-1, dock-netis a network name.)
node	The point where switching between computers and terminals
	takes place.
node name	The name given to a LCS60. This is the hostname and is
	independent of host interface names. This becomes the uname
	for this machine (e.g., morse in Figure 3-1).
originating	A group assigned to devices which can call each other.
group
PDD	Predefined destination.

PPPPoint-to-Point Protocol. Similar to SLIP, but can carry multiple protocols simultaneously.
