Glossary
DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol: Provides a framework for
passing configuration information to hosts on a TCP/IP
network. DHCP is based on the Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP),
adding the capability of automatic allocation of reusable
network addresses and additional configuration options.
EAP Extensible Authentication Protocol: An authentication protocol
used to authenticate network clients. EAP is combined with
IEEE 802.1X port authentication and a RADIUS
authentication server to provide “mutual authentication”
between a client, the Wi², and a RADIUS server.
ESS Extended Service Set: More than one wireless cell can be
configured with the same Service Set Identifier to allow mobile
users can roam between different cells with the Extended
Service Set.
FTP File Transfer Protocol: A TCP/IP protocol used for file transfer.
HTTP Hypertext Transfer Protocol: HTTP is a standard used to
transmit and receive all data over the World Wide Web.
IAPP Inter Access Point Protocol: A protocol that specifies the
wireless signaling required to ensure the successful handover
of wireless clients roaming between different
802.11f-compliant Wi²s.
IEEE 802.11b A wireless standard that supports wireless communications in
the 2.4 GHz band using Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum
(DSSS). The standard provides for data rates of 1, 2, 5.5, and
11 Mbps.
IEEE 802.11g A wireless standard that supports wireless communications in
the 2.4 GHz band using using Orthogonal Frequency Division
Multiplexing (OFDM). The standard provides for data rates of
6, 9, 11, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 54 Mbps. IEEE 802.11g is also
backward compatible with IEEE 802.11b.
IEEE 802.1X Port Authentication controls access to the switch ports by
requiring users to first enter a user ID and password for
authentication.
LAN Local Area Network: A group of interconnected computer and
support devices.
