LAN

Local Area Network

 

 

 

The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol

 

(LDAP) is based on the X.500 standard, but sig-

 

nificantly simpler and more readily adapted to

LDAP

meet custom needs. The core LDAP specifica-

 

tions are all defined in RFCs. LDAP is a protocol

 

used to access information stored in an LDAP

 

server.

Every piece of Ethernet hardware has a unique

 

number assigned to it called it's MAC address.

 

Ethernet is used locally to connect the IMG/

 

IM/CM4000 to the Internet, and it may share

 

the local network with many other appliances.

MAC address

The MAC address is used by the local Internet

router in order to direct IMG/IM/CM4000 traffic

 

 

to it rather than somebody else in the local area.

 

It is a 48bit number usually written as a series

 

of 6 hexadecimal octets, e.g. 00:d0:cf:00:5b:da.

 

A IMG/IM/CM4000 has a MAC address listed on

 

a label underneath the device.

 

 

 

Microsoft Challenge Handshake Authentication

 

Protocol (MSCHAP) is authentication for PPP

 

connections between a computer using a Micro-

MSCHAP

soft Windows operating system and a network

 

access server. It is more secure than PAP or

 

CHAP, and is the only option that also supports

 

data encryption.
