Tsunami MP.11and MP.11a Installation and Management

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

A protocol used for the communication between a network management application and the devices it is managing. The network management application is called the SNMP manager; the devices it manages have implemented SNMP agents. Not only the MP.11/a but also almost every network device contains a SNMP agent. The manageable objects of a device are arranged in a Management Information Base, also called MIB. The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) allows managers and agents to communicate for accessing these objects.

Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)

The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) can be used to create redundant networks (“hot standby”) and to prevent loops. If enabled, spanning tree prevents loops by disabling redundant links; if a link fails, it can automatically enable a backup link.

Subnet Mask

A subnet mask is a bit mask that defines which part of an IP address is used for the network part and which part for a host (computer) number. A subnet mask is like an IP address represented by four numbers in the range 0 - 255 separated by dots. When the IP address 172.17.23.14 has a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, the network part is 172.17.23 of the host number is 14. See also IP address.

Table

Tables hold parameters for several related items. For example, you can add several potential managers to the SNMP IP access table. Tables can be displayed using with the Web Interface, command line interface and SNMP.

Topology

Topology is the physical layout of network components (cable, stations, gateways, hubs, and so on).

Trap

A trap is used within SNMP to report an unexpected or unallowable condition.

Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP)

Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is a lightweight protocol for transferring files that is like a simple form of File Transfer Protocol (FTP). A TFTP client is implemented on the MP.11/a; using the upload and download commands, the MP.11/a can respectively copy a file to or from a TFTP server. TFTP server software is provided on the MP.11/a CD-ROM.

Upload

Uploading a file means copying a file from a network device to a remote server. In case of the MP.11/a uploading means transferring a file from the MP.11/a to a TFTP server. See also download.

Upstream

Upstream means a data stream from the end users to the central part of the network. See also downstream.

WEP

The Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) algorithm is the standard encryption method used to protect wireless communication from eavesdropping.

WORP

The Wireless Outdoor Router Protocol (WORP) was designed to optimize long distance links and multipoint networks with Hidden Node effect to eliminate collisions and loss of bandwidth.
