3. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol A protocol that automatically assigns the dynamic IP addresses to devices on a network With dynamic addressing a device can have a different IP address every time it connects to the network and simplifies network administration because the software keeps track of IP addresses rather than requiring an administrator to manage the task When a device newly added into the network a dynamic IP address will be assigned to that device Many ISPs use dynamic IP addressing for dial up users DNS Domain Name Server is a server that translates domain names into IP addresses A domain name is alphabetic and is meaningful for human to remember and use However the Internet routing is based on IP address So when you enter a domain name the DNS server will translate the domain name into the corresponding IP address For example the domain name www example com might be translated to 198 152 212 140 Dynamic IP Address In a TCP IP network the client station is automatically assigned an IP address by a DHCP server The network devices such as servers and printers are usually assigned with static fixed IP addresses IEEE Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers IEEE is best known for developing standards for the computer and electronics industry CTS Clear To Send An RS 232 signal sent from the receiving station to the transmitting station to indicate it is ready to accept data Default Gatewa

8. Mask An IP address has two components network address and host address Part of the host address can be used to identify a particular subnet The system administrator can further divide the host address into two or more subnets A mask is used to determine what subnetwork an IP address belongs to The subnet mask is the network address plus the bits reserved for identifying the subnetwork By convention the bits for the network address are all set to 1 due to it will work the same if the bits were set exactly as in the network address It s called a mask because it can be used to identify the subnet to which an IP address belongs by performing a bitwise AND operation on the mask and the IP address TCP Transmission Control Protocol A protocol used along with the IP Internet Protocol to send data in message units between network devices over a LAN or WAN IP takes care of handling the data routing and TCP takes care of tracking the individual units of data called packets that a message is divided into for efficient delivery over the network TCP is a connection oriented protocol due to it requires the receiver to return an acknowledgment of receipting the packet to the sender 61 LES300A LFS400A Series User s Manual TCP IP Transmission Control Protocol Internet Protocol TCP IP is a suite of communications protocols used to connect hosts on the Internet It uses several protocols the two major protocols are TCP and IP UDP Us
