Glossary
10Base-T: A 10 Mbit/s
communicationmethodspecifiedin
the IEEE 802.3u-1995 standard.
100Base-T: A 100 Mbit/s
communicationmethodspecifiedin
the IEEE 802.3u-1995 standard.
The official name for Fast
Ethernet.
100Base-TX: A specific
implementation of 100Base-T
designed to operate over Category
5 UTP cabling.
Alias: Name of the interface that
corresponds to a given Internet
address on a system. Refer to the
network map in appendix B for
example usage.
Autonegotiation: A mechanism
defined in IEEE 802.3u-1995
whereby devices sharing a link
segment can exchange data and
automatically configure
themselves to operate at the
highest capability mode shared
between them.The HP-PB
10/100Base-TX card supports
autonegotiation.
Autosensing: The ability of the
HP-PB 10/100Base-TX card to
detect a static speed of a hub or
switchand automatically configure
itself to operate accordingly. This
does not require the two-way
information exchange and
negotation process of full
autonegotiation.
CSMA/CD: Carrier sense multiple
access with collision detection. The
media access method implemented
in IEEE 802.3u-1995.
Card Instance Number: A
number that uniquely identifies a
device within a class. A class of
devices is a logical grouping of
similar devices.
Destination Address: A field in
the message packet format
identifying the end node(s) to
which the packet is being sent.
DLPI: Data Link Provider
Interface. An industry-standard
definition for message
communications to
STREAMS-based network
interface drivers.
Ethernet: A 10 Mbit/s LAN,
developed by Digital Equipment
Corporation, Intel, and Xerox
Corporation, upon which the IEEE
802.3 network is based.
Fast Ethernet: A commonly used
name applied to 100Base-T.
