Node to Port Assignment

NodeAny single end station on a network capable of receiving,

processing, and transmitting packets.

NVRAM	Non-Volatile Random Access Memory. Memory which is
	protected from elimination during shutdown and between
	periods of activity, frequently through the use of batteries.
Octet	A numerical value made up of eight binary places (bits).
	Octets can represent decimal numbers from zero (0000
	0000) to 255 (1111 1111).
OID	Object Identifier.
OSI Model	Open Standards Interconnect. A model of the way in
	which network communications should proceed from the
	user process to the physical media and back.
Out-Of-Band	Performed without requiring the operation of the network
	architecture. Most commonly used in reference to local
	management operations.
Packet	A discrete collection of bits that form a block of
	information. Packets are similar to frames, but may be
	made up of control information (frames) or data to be
	transmitted.
Plenum	A cabling term which indicates a cable with insulating
	material that is considered safe to use in return-air plenum
	spaces (in contrast to PVC insulation) due to its low
	relative toxicity if ignited.
Port	A physical connector which is used as an interface to
	cabling with modular or pinned connectors. Ports are
	associated with Interfaces.
Port	The association, through software management, of specific
Assignment	ports on a network device to specific channels of a
	backplane. This assignment is done on an individual port
	basis.
