Glossary 
 
Default Gateway (Router): Every non-router IP device needs to configure a default gateway’s IP 
address. When the device sends out an IP packet, if the destination is not on the same network, 
the device has to send the packet to its default gateway, which will then send it out towards the 
destination. 
DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This protocol automatically gives every computer 
on your home network an IP address.
DNS Server IP Address: DNS stands for Domain Name System,...

ISP Gateway Address: (see ISP for definition). The ISP Gateway Address is an IP address for 
the Internet router located at the ISPs office.

individuals and other businesses or organizations.  
LAN: Local Area Network. A LAN is a group of computers and devices connected together in a 
relatively small area (such as a house or an office). Your home network is considered a LAN.  
MAC Address: MAC stands...

Subnet Mask: A subnet mask, which may be a part of the TCP/IP information provided by your 
ISP, is a set of four numbers (e.g. 255.255.255.0) configured like an IP address. It is used to 
create IP address numbers used only within a particular network (as opposed to valid IP address 
numbers recognized by the Internet, which must be assigned by InterNIC).  
TCP/IP, UDP: Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and Unreliable Datagram 
Protocol (UDP). TCP/IP is the standard protocol for...
