IP
Address
–
Internet
Protocol
Addresses
–
IP
addresses
are
assigned
two
different
ways,
static
or
Dynamic.
Static
‐
A
static
IP
Address
is
used
by
any
device
that
establishes
infrastructure,
such
as
a
router,
a
severer,
a
printer,
faxes
etc.
Internal
or
Intranet
IP
address
are
easy
to
establish
and
program.
However,
Internet
static
IP
addresses
are
usually
purchased
at
a
premium
but
they
are
required
when
several
endpoints
are
“pointed”
to
the
same
location
such
as
a
voice
server.
Dynamic
‐
A
dynamic
IP
Address
is
used
by
any
device
that
does
not
establish
infrastructure,
such
as
a
client
endpoint.
A
client
endpoint
(laptop
for
example)
moves
freely,
so
it
is
assigned
a
temporary
IP
Address
from
a
device
such
as
a
server
or
router.
These
addresses
are
“leased”
to
the
device
for
a
period
of
time
and
are
subject
to
change.
ISP
–
Internet
Service
Provider
–
An
Internet
Service
Provider
(ISP)
is
generally
either
a
telephone
or
cable
company
which
provides
a
high
speed
connection
to
the
World
Wide
Web
(www).
LAN
–
Local
Area
Network
–
A
LAN
allows
network
devices
to
share
and
access
files
through
a
series
of
wires
known
as
a
“Network”.
Generally,
a
LAN
uses
one
DHCP
Server,
it
is
“small”
in
size
(geographically)
like
a
home
or
office,
and
it
does
not
require
any
external
IPS
to
transmission
data
between
endpoints.
MAC
–
Media
Access
Control
–
The
MAC
address
is
a
unique,
level
2,
identifier
which
is
required
on
all
devices
that
connect
to
a
network.
This
address
is
usually
assigned
at
the
factory
where
the
device
is
built.
Unlike
an
IP
or
Subnet
Mask
address,
the
MAC
address
does
not
change,
which
is
critically
important
when
using
Dynamic
Host
Configuration
Protocol
(DHCP).
A
MAC
address
consists
of
6
octets
in
hexadecimal
format
and
looks
like
xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
(00
‐
01
‐
43
‐
65
‐
a0
‐
e4).
NAT
–
Network
Address
Translation
–
NAT
reconciles
the
internal
DHCP
Addresses
with
the
published
Static
IP
Address.
It
is
this
protocol
that
makes
it
possible
to
share
one
published
Internet
address
with
multiple
internal
LAN
devices.
NPT
–
Network
Time
Protocol
–
A
protocol
that
defines
the
ability
to
synchronize
different
computer
systems
over
a
packet
switched
network,
using
UDP
packets
via
port
123
as
the
transport
layer.
P2P
–
Peer
to
Peer
–
All
computers
have
the
ability
share
information
with
each
other
without
logging
into
a
server.
This
protocol
is
very
helpful
with
VoIP.
