DSL

Digital Subscriber Line. A class of technologies that provide Internet access by transmitting

digital data over a local telephone network. DSL implementations in BIMS may create
bridged or routed networks. In a bridged configuration, the group of subscriber computers

connects into a single subnet. It can use DHCP to provide network details, such as the IP

address to the subscriber equipment, with authentication via MAC address or an assigned

host name. It can also use PPP or PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE), while authenticating with a user
ID and password, and using Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) mechanisms to provide network

details.

Group

A set of CPEs organized according to a certain rule (such as location) for easy network

management.

L2TP

Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol. Facilitates the tunneling of PPP data packets across an intervening

packet-switched network. An L2TP tunnel can extend across an entire PPP session or only

across one segment of a two-segment session. At the time of setup of an L2TP connection,

many control packets are exchanged between server and client to establish a tunnel and
session for each direction. One peer requests the other peer to assign a specific tunnel and

session ID through these control packets. Then, using this tunnel and session ID, data packets

are exchanged with the compressed PPP frames as payload.

L2TP Relay

Layer Two Tunneling Protocol over Frame Relay. A mechanism to tunnel PPP sessions

independent of the media it runs over, using virtual or switched circuits. An L2TP access
concentrator (LAC) virtually extends PPP across the Internet to an L2TP network server located

on the corporate network.

Make baseline

Sets the configuration file of a common version as a baseline version. In the Configuration

Backup History list, you can set one of the backed up configuration files as the baseline
version, making the other backed up configuration file the common version. See Chapter 5,

"Managing configuration backup history."

MRU

Maximum Receive Unit. The size (in bytes) of the largest messaging protocol data unit that the

communications layer can receive.

MTU

Maximum Transmission Unit. The size (in bytes) of the largest messaging protocol data unit

that the communications layer can pass onwards.

NAT

Network Address Translation. Improves network system security by reusing IP addresses.

Polling interval

The interval at which BIMS polls the connectivity status of CPEs.

PPP

Point-to-Point Protocol. PPP connections are used to connect LANs to service provider WANs,

and to connect LAN segments within an organization network.

PPPoE

PPP over Ethernet. A network protocol for encapsulating PPP frames inside Ethernet frames.
