17 GLOSSARY
TERM	DEFINITION
	communications.
splitter	A device that divides the signal from an input cable between
	two or more cables.
SSID	The Service Set Identifier or network name is a unique
	identifier that wireless clients use to associate with an
	access point to distinguish between multiple WLANs in the
	same area. All clients on a WLAN must have the same SSID
	as the access point.
stateful-	A type of firewall that tracks each connection, traversing all
inspection	firewall interfaces to ensure validity. In addition to examining
	the source and destination in the packet header based on static
	rules, a stateful inspection firewall:
	• Examines packet headers via the context established by
	previous packets that traversed the firewall
	• Monitors the connection state and saves it in a table
	• Closes ports until a connection to a specific port is
	requested
	• May examine the packet contents up through the
	application layer to determine more than just the source
	and destination
	A stateful inspection firewall is more advanced than a static
	filter firewall.
static filter	A type of firewall that examines the source and destination in the
	packet header based on administrator-defined rules only.
static IP	An IP address that is permanently assigned to a host.
address	Normally, a static IP address must be assigned manually. The
	opposite of dynamic IP address.
static route	A manually-defined route.
station	IEEE 802.11b term for wireless client.
subscriber	A home or office user who accesses television, data, or other
	services from an Internet Service provider.
subnet mask	A bit mask that is logically ANDed with the destination IP address
	of a packet to determine the network address. A router routes
	packets using the network address.
subnetwork	A part of a network; commonly abbreviated “subnet.” When
	subnetting is used, the host portion of the IP address is
	divided into a subnet and host number. Hosts and routers
	use the subnet mask to identify the bits used for the network
	and subnet number.
switch	On an Ethernet network, a switch filters frames based on the
