SMC Networks 1000BASE-X Port Trunk, Remote Monitoring Rmon, Serial Line Internet Protocol Slip

GLOSSARY

Port Trunk

Defines network link aggregation and trunking standards which specify how to create a single high-speed logical link that combines several lower-speed physical links.

Remote Monitoring (RMON)

RMON provides comprehensive network monitoring capabilities. It eliminates the polling required in standard SNMP, and can set alarms on a variety of traffic conditions, including specific errors types.

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

An application protocol offering network management services in the Internet suite of protocols.

Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP)

A standard protocol for point-to-point connections using serial lines.

Spanning Tree Algorithm (STA)

A technology that checks your network for any loops. A loop can often occur in complicated network systems or systems with redundant links. Spanning-tree detects and directs data along the shortest path, maximizing the performance and efficiency of the network.

Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)

See Spanning Tree Algorithm.

Telnet

Defines a remote communication facility for interfacing to a terminal device over TCP/IP.

Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP)

A TCP/IP protocol commonly used for software downloads.
