UEFI
Unified extensible firmware interface. A
specification detailing an interface that
helps hand off control of the system for the
pre-boot environment (that is, after the
system is powered on, but before the
operating system starts) to an operating
system, such as Windows or Linux. UEFI
provides a clean interface between
operating systems and platform firmware
at boot time, and supports an architec-
ture-independent mechanism for initial-
izing add-in cards.

VLAN
Virtual LAN. A group of hosts with a
common set of requirements that commu-
nicate as if they were attached to the same
wire, regardless of their physical location.
Although a VLAN has the same attributes
as a physical LAN, it allows for end
stations to be grouped together even if
they are not located on the same LAN
segment. VLANs enable network reconfig-
uration through software, instead of physi-
cally relocating devices.
VM
Virtual machine. A software implementa-
tion of a machine (computer) that executes
programs like a real machine.
VPD
Vital product data. Information provided by
the manufacturer about the current
working adapter. Information varies by
manufacturer, or may not be provided at
all.
Wake on LAN
See
WoL
Wake on LAN. An Ethernet computer
networking standard that allows a
computer to be remotely switched on or
awakened by a network message sent
usually by a simple program executed on
another computer on the network.
