Domain
A grouping of devices that are members of a specific realm or location on a network. Each
device is identified on the Internet by a specific extension attached to the location’s IP
Address which is shared among all devices within the domain.
Gateway
A doorway to the Internet that allows a member of one domain access another domain. (The
domains have different IP Addresses.)
IP Address
Internet Protocol Address. Numerically based address of Internet sites. It is composed of four
numbers that are linked by a period. The first segment ranges from 0 to 223, the last three
segments range from 0 to 255. For example, 222.8.44.155. The numbers in the address
indicate the domain of the site and the user of that site. Such an address can be assigned by
a private network administrator for a private network but, for use on a larger scale, one
should obtain an address from the InterNIC Registration Service which assigns a different
address to each user.
MAC Address
Media Access Control Address. Basic numerical address used to identify all types of nodes
on networks based on the IEEE 802 standards. Protocols may assign to nodes different
addresses that coincide with their system. Ultimately, however, that address can be traced to
the node’s MAC Address. This address is also referred to as a Data Link Control address by
OSI Reference-based networks.
Manager
Software used to control and manipulate the Management Information Bases (MIB) through
communication with the agent.
