DNS server MAC address Abbreviation for Domain Name System server. As an IP address required for connecting to the device on an IP network is numerical and difficult to remember, the Domain Name System was established. A domain name is alphabetic and is easier to remember. When a client computer uses a domain name to connect to another computer, it asks a DNS server to translate the name into the corresponding IP address. Then the client computer can obtain the IP address of the computer to be connected.
Secondary DNS Server Subsidiary DNS server used when a primary DNS server cannot be used. Sharpness The degree to which the boundary of two portions is clearly distinguished. SMTP server A server for sending or relaying e-mail messages between servers. SNMP A protocol for monitoring and managing network devices. Subnet mask 32-bit stream used to distinguish the subnet address from the IP address. TCP Others Abbreviation for Transmission Control Protocol.
