Terminology
Refer to this table for common terms used in this publication.
Table 1 - Terminology
This Term Means
Auto-MDIX Automatic Medium-dependent Interface Crossover.
Allows the switch to detect the required cable type (straight-through or crossover) for copper Ethernet connections and
configures the interfaces accordingly.
BOOTP Commonly used with Allen-Bradley Ethernet products, the BOOTP protocol is used by a client machine to locate its IP address
and network mask.
DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol.
Commonly used on office networks, scarce IP address space is efficiently used because IP addresses are "leased" to clients for
a limited time.
This lease concept facilitates the recycling of addresses, which is the heart of DHCP.
DNS Domain Name Server.
Translates domain names into IP addresses, for example, www.example.com can translate to 192.168.100.100.
