Sunfire B1600 Management services, Efficiency of the network, Access to this switch, Over TCP/IP

Shielded Twisted Pair
(STP) Cable	Twisted-pair wire covered with an external aluminum-foil or woven copper
	shield designed to reduce excessive noise pick up or radiation.
Simple Network
Management Protocol
(SNMP)	The application protocol in the Internet suite of protocols which offers network
	management services.
Spanning Tree Protocol
(STP)	A technology that checks your network for any loops. A loop can often occur
	in complicated or backup linked network systems. Spanning Tree detects and
	directs data along the shortest available path, maximizing the performance and
	efficiency of the network.
Switched Ports	Ports that are on separate collision domains or LAN segments.
Terminal Access
Controller Access
Control System
(TACACS)	An authentication protocol that uses a central server to control access to
	TACACS-compliant devices on the network. A TACACS server can be
	programmed with a database of multiple user name/password pairs and
	associated privilege levels for each user or group that requires management
	access to this switch.
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.
Trivial File Transfer
Protocol (TFTP)	A TCP/IP protocol commonly used for software downloads.
Unshielded Twisted
Pair (UTP) Cable	Cable composed of two insulated wires twisted together to reduce electrical
	interference; used in common telephone cord.
Virtual LAN (VLAN)	A Virtual LAN is a collection of network nodes that share the same collision
	domain regardless of their physical location or connection point in the
	network. A VLAN serves as a logical workgroup with no physical barriers, and
	allows users to share information and resources as though located on the same
	LAN.
XModem	A protocol used to transfer files between devices. Data is grouped in 128-byte
	blocks and error-corrected.
