A grouping of devices that are members of a specific realm or location on a network. Each device is identified on the Internet by a specific extension attached to the location’s IP Address which is shared among all devices within the domain.
A doorway to the Internet that allows a member of one domain access another domain. (The domains have different IP Addresses.)
Internet Protocol Address. Numerically based address of Internet sites. It is composed of four numbers that are linked by a period. The first segment ranges from 0 to 223, the last three segments range from 0 to 255. For example, 222.8.44.155. The numbers in the address indicate the domain of the site and the user of that site. Such an address can be assigned by a private network administrator for a private network but, for use on a larger scale, one should obtain an address from the InterNIC Registration Service which assigns a different address to each user.
Media Access Control Address. Basic numerical address used to identify all types of nodes on networks based on the IEEE 802 standards. Protocols may assign to nodes different addresses that coincide with their system. Ultimately, however, that address can be traced to the node’s MAC Address. This address is also referred to as a Data Link Control address by OSI
Software used to control and manipulate the Management Information Bases (MIB) through communication with the agent.
