Glossary/Index

10base2 A type of Ethernet that uses RG58 coaxial cable. Also called Thin Ethernet, ThinNet, and CheaperNet. pp. 1-4,1-5,2-7,2-15 to 2-16.

10base5 The original Ethernet standard that uses a thick coaxial cable. Also called thick Ethernet or standard Ethernet. pp. 1-4,1-6,2-3,2-14 to 2-15.

10baseT A type of Ethernet that uses unshielded twisted pair cable. pp. 1-4 to 1-6,2-7,2-12 to 2-13.

100baseT4 A 100 megabit/second networking standard based on Ethernet technology that uses four pairs on a Category 3 twisted pair cable. Not widely used.

100baseTX The most popular 100 megabit/second networking standard based on Ethernet technology. It uses two pairs on a Category 5 twisted pair cable. 1-5,2-12 to 2-13.

802.21. The IEEE standard for the Logical Link Control layer of the Ethernet protocol. The LLC layer is implemented as special fields containing control information within an IEEE compatible Ethernet frame. 2. The NetWare Ethernet frame type that includes both the IEEE

802.3and 802.2 fields. p. A-11.

802.31. The IEEE standard for Ethernet. 2. The default Ethernet frame type for NetWare 3.xx and 2.xx (also called 802.3 raw; the NetWare

802.3is technically not IEEE compatible because it does not have the

802.2fields). p. A-11.

A4 The international standard paper size (210 x 297mm).

Address An identifier. Every device on a network has a unique address.

AIX The variation of UNIX that runs on IBM computers. pp. 4-7 to 4-8.
