GLOSSARY

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

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

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.

Straight-through Port

An RJ-45 port which does not cross the receive and transmit signals internally so it can be connected with straight-through twisted-pair cable to any device having a crossover port. Also referred to as a “Daisy-Chain” port.

Switched Ports

Ports that are on separate collision domains or LAN segments.

Telnet

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

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)

Protocol suite that includes TCP as the primary transport protocol, and IP as the network layer protocol.

UTP
