What is the DHCP server?
This server is primarily used as a go-between for a client and the website accessed.
What is a Proxy server?

What is Local Area Network (LAN)?
This server type takes care of resolving domain names into IP addresses.
What are DNS servers?
A network that covers multiple locations across the country.
What is Wide Area Network (WAN)?
This server handles the control of printers on the network.
What are Print servers?
This type of network covers multiple locations within the same city.
What is Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)?
This type of server can oversee one or more of these functions: Authentication, Authorization, Accounting.
What are AAA servers?
This type of network is used for NAS units and RAID arrays and is also a subset of LANs.
What is Storage Area Network (SAN)?
This is usually a rack-mountable device that connects to the LAN on one side and to the Internet on the other and it's function is to close ports to prevent unwanted intrusion.
What is a Network Firewall?
I can communicate to others within my network but I do not have internet connection to the outside world.
What is Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA)?
One of the techniques in an AAA Server is establishing a person's identity with proof and confirming it via a system.
What is Authentication?
This provides for the balancing of IP traffic across a set of servers.
What is the Load Balancer?
The second technique in an AAA server is giving a user access to certain data or areas of a building. This occurs after Authentication.
What is Authorization?
This incorporates the features of a firewall along with antivirus, antispam, content filtering, and intrusion prevention for the entire network.

What is an intrusion detection system (IDS)?
Client requests are distributed across all servers sequentially within the load balancer.
What is a Round Robin?
Firewalls, UTMs, IDS, and IPS solutions can help block access to a system or network.
What are Internet Security Appliances?
New client requests are sent to the server with the fewest concurrent connections in the load balancer.
What is Least Connections?
This not only detects unauthorized access to the network but attempts to thwart it, making the admin's job somewhat easier.
What is an intrusion prevention system (IPS)?
