Internet Protocol (IP) address

LAN

LEAP

The address of a computer that is attached to a network. Part of the address designates which network the computer is on, and the other part represents the host identification.

Local area network. A high-speed, low-error data network covering a relatively small geographic area.

Light Extensible Authentication Protocol. A version of Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). LEAP is a proprietary extensible authentication protocol developed by Cisco, which provides a challenge- response authentication mechanism and dynamic key assignment.

MAC	A hardwired address applied at the factory. It uniquely identifies network
	hardware, such as a wireless adapter, on a LAN or WAN.
Mbps	Megabits-per-second. Transmission speed of 1,000,000 bits per second.
MHz	Megahertz. A unit of frequency equal to 1,000,000 cycles per second.
MIC (Michael)	Message integrity check (commonly called Michael).
MS-CHAP	An EAP mechanism used by the client. Microsoft Challenge Authentication
	Protocol (MSCHAP) Version 2, is used over an encrypted channel to enable
	server validation. The challenge and response packets are sent over a non-
	exposed TLS encrypted channel.
ns	Nanosecond. 1 billionth (1/1,000,000,000) of a second.
OFDM	Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing.
PEAP	Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP) is an Internet
	Engineering Task Force (IETF) draft protocol sponsored by Microsoft, Cisco,
	and RSA Security. PEAP creates an encrypted tunnel similar to the tunnel
	used in secure web pages (SSL). Inside the encrypted tunnel, a number of
	other EAP authentication methods can be used to perform client
	authentication. PEAP requires a TLS certificate on the RADIUS server, but
	unlike EAP-TLS there is no requirement to have a certificate on the client.
	PEAP has not been ratified by the IETF. The IETF is currently comparing
	PEAP and TTLS (Tunneled TLS) to determine an authentication standard for
	802.1X authentication in 802.11 wireless systems. PEAP is an
	authentication type designed to take advantage of server-side EAP-
	Transport Layer Security (EAP-TLS) and to support various authentication
	methods, including user's passwords and one-time passwords, and Generic
	Token Cards.
Peer-to-Peer	A wireless network structure that allows wireless clients to communicate
Mode	with each other without using an access point.
Power Save	The state in which the radio is periodically powered down to conserve
mode	power. When the notebook is in Power Save mode, receive packets are
	stored in the access point until the wireless adapter wakes up.
Preferred	One of the networks that has been configured. Such networks are listed
network	under Preferred networks on the Wireless Networks tab of the Wireless
	Configuration Utility (Windows 2000 environment) or Wireless Network
	Connection Properties (Windows XP environment).
