SNAP (Subnetwork Access Protocol)
An IP protocol that is an extended version of the IEEE LAN logical link control (LLC) frame. SNAP provides access to additional protocols and allows vendors to create their own protocol
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)
Designed by the Department of Defense and commercial TCP/IP implementors, SNMP is part of the TCP/IP protocol suite. SNMP operates on top of the Internet Protocol and can manage virtually any network type.
Source Address
The address of the station originating a frame.
Split Pair
The error of using wires from two different twisted pairs. This error cancels the crosstalk elimination characteristics of twisted pair wiring and produces crosstalk. Use a single twisted pair for Transmit and another twisted pair for Receive to minimize crosstalk.
Subnet
A subnet is a section of the TCP/IP network. Each subnet has a unique subnet number and is connected to a router which enables connection to other subnets.
Subnet Number
The subnet number is programmed into the subnet router and follows the network number in an IP address.
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol)
TCP/IP is the protocol suite originally developed by the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) to interconnect a research network. It later evolved into the Internet. The TCP/IP is an open standard not owned by any particular organization. The term TCP/IP is often used to refer to the entire suite of related protocols that includes IP, FTP, Telnet, RIP.
