Q

QoS

Quality of Service. QoS allows network managers to decide how and what network traffic is forwarded according to priorities, application types, and source and destination addresses.

R

RMON

Remote Monitoring. Provides network information to be collected from a single workstation.

Router

A Ethernet switch module that connects to separate networks. Routers forward packets between two or more networks. Routers operate at a Layer 3 level.

S

Server

A central computer that provides services to other computers on a network. Services may include file storage and access to applications.

SNMP

Simple Network Management Protocol. Manages LANs. SNMP based software communicates with network Ethernet switch with embedded SNMP agents. SNMP agents gather network activity and Ethernet switch status information, and send the information back to a workstation.

Startup Configuration

Retains the exact switch configuration when the switch module is powered down or rebooted.

Subnet

Sub-network. Subnets are portions of a network that share a common address component. On TCP/IP networks, Ethernet switch modules that share a prefix are part of the same subnet. For example, all Ethernet switch modules with a prefix of 157.100.100.100 are part of the same subnet.

Subnet Mask

Used to mask all or part of an IP address used in a subnet address.

Switch

Filters and forwards packets between LAN segments. Switches support any packet protocol type.

T

TCP/IP

Transmissions Control Protocol. Enables two hosts to communicate and exchange data streams. TCP guarantees packet delivery, and guarantees packets are transmitted and received in the order their sent.
