Circuitless IP

A virtual interface that does not map to any physical interface. This interface is often called

aloopback.

class of service (CoS)

A method used to manage traffic congestion based on the CoS level assigned to the packet.

classless interdomain routing (CIDR)

The protocol defined in RFCs 1517 and 1518 for using subnetwork masks, other than the defaults for IP address classes.

cluster

One or more route reflectors and their associated clients that form a relationship where the designated route reflectors provide route reflection for their clients, as well as nonclient peers.

coarse wavelength division multiplexing (CWDM)

A technology that uses multiple optical signals with different wavelengths to simultaneously transmit in the same direction over one fiber, and then separates by wavelength at the distant end.

command line interface (CLI)

A nongraphical user interface. When you use a CLI, you respond to a prompt by typing a command. After you enter the command, you receive a system response.

common and internal spanning tree (CIST)

The single spanning tree calculated by the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), and Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) to ensure that all LANs in a bridged Local Area Network (LAN) are simply and fully connected.

common spanning tree (CST)

The single spanning tree calculated by STP, RSTP, and MSTP to connect multiple spanning tree (MST) regions.
