J Glossary
final version of the RFC becomes the standard and no further comments or changes
are permitted. Change can occur, however, through subsequent RFCs.
RIP Routing Information Protocol is an interior or intra-domain routing protocol that uses
the distance-vector routing algorithms. RIP is used on the Internet and is common in
the NetWare environment as a method for exchanging routing information between
routers.
Rom-0 This is the name of the configuration file on the Prestige. Renaming may be
necessary when uploading a new configuration file to the Prestige.
Router A device that connects two networks together. Routers monitor, direct and filter
information that passes between these networks. Because of their location, routers are
a good place to install traffic or mail filters. Routers are also prone to attacks because
they contain a great deal of information about a network.
SAP In NetWare, the Service Advertising Protocol broadcasts information about available
services on the network that other network devices can listen to. A server sends out
SAP messages every 60 seconds. A server also sends out SAP messages to inform
other devices that it is closing down. Workstations use SAP to find services they need
on the network.
SDSL A Symmetrical Digital Subscriber Line is a symmetrical, bi-directional DSL service that
operates on one twisted-pair wire. It can provide data rates up to the T1 rate of 1.544
Mbits/sec, and it operates above the voice frequency, so voice and data can be carried
on the same wire.
Server A computer, or a software package, that provides a specific kind of service to client
software running on other computers.
SMT System Management Terminal. The SMT is a menu-based interface that you use to
configure your Prestige.
SNMP System Network Management Protocol is a popular management protocol defined by
the Internet community for TCP/IP networks. It is a communication protocol for
collecting information from devices on the network.
SOCKS A protocol that handles TCP traffic through proxy servers.
Static Routing Static routes tell the Prestige routing information that it cannot learn automatically
through other means. The need for Static Routing can arise in cases where RIP is
disabled on the LAN or a remote network is beyond the one that is directly connected
to a remote node.
STP Twisted-pair cable consists of copper-core wires surrounded by an insulator. Two
wires are twisted together to form a pair, and the pair form a balanced circuit. The
twisting prevents interference problems. STP (shielded twisted-pair) provides
protection against external crosstalk.
