ENGLISH

MDI-X

Medium Dependent Interface Cross-over. An Ethernet port connection where the internal transmit and receive lines are crossed.

MIB

Management Information Base. Stores a device’s management characteristics and parameters. MIBs are used by the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to contain attributes of their managed systems. The Switch contains its own internal MIB.

Multicast

Single packets copied to a specific subset of network addresses. These addresses are specified in the destination-address field of the packet.

Protocol

A set of rules for communication between devices on a network. The rules dictate format, timing, sequencing, and error control.

Resilient Link

A pair of ports that can be configured so that one will take over data transmission should the other fail. See also main port and standby port.

RJ-45

Standard 8-wire connectors for IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T networks.

RMON

Remote Monitoring. Subset of SNMP MIB II, which allows monitoring and management capabilities by addressing up to ten different groups of information.

RPS

Redundant Power System. A device that provides a backup source of power when connected to the Switch.

Server Farm

A cluster of servers in a centralized location serving a large user population.

SLIP

Serial Line Internet Protocol. A protocol that allows IP to run over a serial line connection.

SNMP

Simple Network Management Protocol. A protocol originally designed to be used in managing TCP/IP internets. SNMP is presently implemented on a wide range of computers and networking equipment and may be used to manage many aspects of network and end station operation.
