Internet |
| (Upper case I) The vast collection of |
|
| 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 |
|
|
|
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 |
|
| 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 |
