mld

Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD): IPv6 protocol used by a

Multicast and Routing Guide

 

router to discover the presence of multicast listeners. MLD

 

 

can also optimize IPv6 multicast traffic flow with the snooping

 

 

feature.

 

mtm

Multicast Traffic Manager (MTM): Controls and coordinates

Multicast and Routing Guide

 

L3 multicast traffic for upper layer protocols.

 

netinet

Network Internet: Monitors the creation of a route or an

Advanced Traffic Management Guide

 

Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) entry and sends a log

 

 

message in case of failure.

 

ospf

Open Short Path First (OSPF): A routing protocol that uses link-

Multicast and Routing Guide

 

state advertisements (LSA) to update neighboring routers

 

 

regarding its interfaces and information on those interfaces.

 

 

Each routing switch maintains an identical database that

 

 

describes its area topology to help a router determine the

 

 

shortest path between it and any neighboring router.

 

pagp

Ports Aggregation Protocol (PAgP): Obsolete. Replaced by

 

LACP (802.3ad). Not used for logging messages in software

 

 

release K.13.xx.

 

pim

Protocol-independent multicast (PIM) routing: Enables IP

Multicast and Routing Guide

 

multicast traffic to be transmitted for multimedia applications

 

 

throughout a network without being blocked at routed

 

 

interface (VLAN) boundaries.

packets, and security settings.

Access Security Guide

 

Port messages include events on Power Over Ethernet (POE)

 

 

operation and transceiver connections with other network

 

 

devices.

 

QinQ

IEEE 802.1ad specification, known as QinQ (provider bridging),

Advanced Traffic Management Guide

 

provides a second tier of VLANs in a bridged network. QinQ

 

 

supports the forwarding of traffic from multiple customers

 

 

over a provider network using service VLANs (S-VLANs).

authentication and accounting: A network server is used to

 

 

authenticate user-connection requests on the switch and

 

 

collect accounting information to track network resource

 

 

usage.

a user or device may utilize for inbound traffic on the switch.

 

sflow

Flow sampling: sFlow is an industry standard sampling

technology, defined by RFC 3176, used to continuously monitor

 

 

traffic flows on all ports providing network-wide visibility into

 

 

the use of the network.
