Domain (NT)
A group of computers whose login across the network is authenticated through the NT
Server. The HP NetStorage device supports multiple domain environments by using
the NT Master Domain model. The HP NetStorage device logs in to the resource
domain, but authenticates users on a potentially different authentication domain. This
is the Network Neighborhood domain that the HP NetStorage device appears in.
Domain (TCP/IP)
An alphanumeric representation of an association of computers. (For example,
hp.com. com is a top level domain and hp is a second level domain.
Domain Name Service (DNS)
A network that translates domain names into IP addresses. If you have multiple DNS
servers on your network and one DNS server cannot translate a domain name, it asks
another one, and so on, until the IP address is found. The first DNS server that is que-
ried is known as the Primary DNS, the second DNS server is known as the Secondary
DNS. Each DNS server has a unique IP address.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
Software that automatically assigns IP addresses to client stations logging onto a TCP/
IP network. It eliminates having to manually assign IP addresses, and it allows a larger
group of machines to share a limited pool of addresses, assuming not all users are
logged on at the same time. DHCP can assign a new address to each machine at star-
tup (dynamic) or permanent (static) addresses can be assigned. Newer DHCP servers
dynamically update the DNS servers after making assignments.

age 6000. For Microsoft Windows users, the file volume is analogous to the C: drive.
