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.
Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP)
The Temporal Key Integrity Protocol, pronounced tee-kip, is part of the IEEE 802.11i encryption
standard for wireless LANs. TKIP is the next generation of WEP, the Wired Equivalency Protocol, which
is used to secure 802.11 wireless LANs. TKIP provides per-packet key mixing, a message integrity
check and a re-keying mechanism, thus fi xing the fl aws of WEP.
