SIP (Source IP) Address

The source IP address of a frame.

Slave

A VPN Gateway that depends on a master device in the same cluster for proper configuration.

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)

A network monitoring and control protocol. Data is passed from SNMP agents, which are hardware and/or software processes reporting activity in each network device (a VPN Gateway, for example), to the workstation console (or SNMP manager) used to oversee the network. The SNMP agents return information in a MIB (Management Information Base), which is a data structure that defines what information is obtainable from the device.

SOCKS

A generic, proxy protocol for TCP/IP-based networking applications. The SOCKS protocol provides a flexible framework for developing secure communications by easily integrating other security technologies, e.g. SSL.

SOCKS includes two components, the SOCKS server and the SOCKS client. The SOCKS server is implemented at the application layer, while the SOCKS client is implemented between the application and transport layers. The basic purpose of the protocol is to enable hosts on one side of a SOCKS server to gain access to hosts on the other side of a SOCKS server, without requiring direct IP reachability.

SPort (Source Port)

The source destination port, linking the incoming data to the correct service. For example, port 80 for HTTP, port 443 for HTTPS, port 995 for POP3S.

SSH (Secure Shell)

A program to log into another computer over a network, to execute commands in a remote machine, and to move files from one machine to another. It provides strong authentication and secure communications over insecure channels.
