Hot Swap to IP

Hot Swap

Hot Swap capability indicates that a product is capable of

 

being removed from an operating modular chassis and

 

reinserted or replaced without requiring that the chassis

 

and all associated modules be powered down.

Hub

See Modular Chassis.

IANA

Internet Assigned Numbers Authority. An agency which

 

assigns and distributes IP addresses.

IEEE

Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers. A

 

standards-making body.

IETF

Internet Engineering Task Force. A standards-making

 

body.

Image File

Software instruction code which is downloaded to an

 

intelligent network device. See also Firmware.

Impedance

A measure of the opposition of electrical current or signal

 

flow in a length of cable.

In-Band

Performed through the operating network architecture.

 

Refers most commonly to management functions. See also

 

Out-of-Band.

Interface

A connection to a network. Unlike a port, an interface is

 

not necessarily an available physical connector accessible

 

through the front panel of a device. Interfaces may be used

 

as backplane connections, or may be found only in the

 

internal operation of a module (All ports are interfaces, but

 

not all interfaces are ports).

Internet

A world-wide network which provides access through a

 

vast chain of private and public LANs.

Inter-

The capacity to function in conjunction with other devices.

operability

Used primarily to indicate the ability of different vendors’

 

networking products to work together cohesively.

IP
