Protocol
A protocol is a standardized set of rules that specify how a conversation is to take place, including the format,
timing, sequencing and/ or error checking.
Roaming
In an infrastructure network, this is when a wireless PC moves out of range of the previously connected access
point and connects to a newly connected access point. Throughout the network environment where access point
is deployed, PCs can always be connected regardless of where they are located or roam.
SSID
A Network ID unique to a network. Only clients and Access Points that share the same SSID are able to communicate
with each other. This string is case-sensitive.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
Simple Network Management Protocol is the network management protocol of TCP/IP. In SNMP, agents-which
can be hardware as well as software- monitor the activity in the various devices on the network and report to the
network console workstation. Control information about each device is maintained in a structure known as a
management information block.
Static IP Addressing
A method of assigning IP addresses to clients on the network. In networks with Static IP address, the network
administrator manually assigns an IP address to each computer. Once a Static IP address is assigned, a computer
uses the same IP address every time it reboots and logs on to the network, unless it is manually changed.
