Internet

 

(Upper case I) The vast collection of inter-connected networks that all use the TCP/IP

 

 

protocols and that evolved from the ARPANET of the late 60’s and early 70’s.

 

 

 

Intranet

 

A private network inside a company or organization that uses the same kinds of

 

 

software that you would find on the public Internet, but that is only for internal use.

 

 

 

IP

 

Internet Protocol. The IP (currently IP version 4, or IPv4), is the underlying protocol for

 

 

routing packets on the Internet and other TCP/IP-based networks.

 

 

 

IP Alias

 

Internet Protocol Alias allows you to partition a physical network into different logical

 

 

networks over the same Ethernet interface. The Prestige supports three logical LAN

 

 

interfaces via its single physical Ethernet interface with the Prestige itself as the

 

 

gateway for each LAN network.

 

 

 

IP Pool

 

Internet Protocol Pool refers to the collective group of IP addresses located in any

 

 

particular place (for example, LAN, WAN, Ethernet, etc.).

 

 

 

IP Routing Policy

 

Traditionally, routing is based on the destination address only and the router takes the

 

 

shortest path to forward a packet. IP Routing Policy (IPRP) provides a mechanism to

 

 

override the default routing behavior and forward the packet based on the policy

 

 

defined by the network administrator.

 

 

 

IPCP (PPP)

 

IP Control Protocol allows changes to IP parameters such as the IP address.

 

 

 

IPX

 

Internetwork Packet eXchange. Like IP (Internet Protocol), IPX is an internetworking

 

 

protocol that provides datagram services. The native NetWare internetworking protocol

 

 

is IPX (Internetwork Packet Exchange).

 

 

 

IRC

 

Internet Relay Chat. IRC was developed in the late 1980s as a way for multiple users

 

 

on a system to “chat” over the network. Today IRC is a very popular way to “talk” in

 

 

real time with other people on the Internet. However, IRC is also one avenue hackers

 

 

use to obtain information about your system and/or company. Moreover, IRC sessions

 

 

are prone to numerous attacks that, while not dangerous, can cause system crashes.

 

 

 

ISP

 

Internet Service Providers provide connections into the Internet for home users and

 

 

businesses. There are local, regional, national and global ISPs. You can think of local

 

 

ISPs as the gatekeepers into the Internet.

 

 

 

Jack Type

 

Different types of jacks (RJ11, RJ45 or RJ48) can be used for an ISDN line. The RJ11

 

 

is the most common in the world and is most often used for analog phones, modems

 

 

and fax machines. RJ48 and RJ45 are essentially the same, as they both have the

 

 

same 8-pin configuration. An RJ11 jack can fit into an RJ45/RJ48 connector, however,

 

 

an RJ45/RJ48 cannot fit into an RJ11 connector.

 

 

 

LAN

 

Local Area Network is a shared communication system to which many computers are

 

 

attached. A LAN, as its name implies, is limited to a local area. This has to do more

 

 

with the electrical characteristics of the medium than the fact that many early LANs
