Glossary-2
Collision Domain
Single CSMA/CD LAN segment.
CSMA/CD
Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detect is the communication method
employed by Ethernet and Fast Ethernet.
Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP)
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.
End Station
A workstation, server, or other device that does not act as a network
interconnection.
Ethernet
A network communication system developed and standardized by DEC, Intel, and
Xerox, using baseband transmission, CSMA/CD access, logical bus topology, and
coaxial cable. The successor IEEE 802.3 standard provides for integration into the
OSI model and extends the physical layer and media with repeaters and
implementations that operate on fiber, thin coax and twisted-pair cable.
Fast Ethernet
A 100 Mbps network communication system based on Ethernet and the CSMA/
CD access method.
Full Duplex
Transmission method that allows switch and network card to transmit and receive
concurrently, effectively doubling the bandwidth of that link.
GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP)
Defines a way for switches to exchange VLAN information in order to register
necessary VLAN members on ports along the Spanning Tree so that VLANs
defined in each switch can work automatically over a Spanning Tree network.
