LDAP
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. LDAP provides management and browser applications with
access to X.500 directories.
LDP
Label Distribution Protocol.
LLA
link-local address.
M
mask
A 32-bit mask that shows how an
Internet
address is divided into network, subnet, and host parts. The
mask has ones in the bit positions to be used for the network and subnet parts, and zeros for the host
part. The mask should contain at least the standard network portion, and the subnet field should be
contiguous with the network portion.
MCR

.
MC router
Multicast (MC) routers route multicast data transmissions to the hosts on each LAN in an internetwork
that are registered to receive specific multimedia or other broadcasts. See also
multicast
.
MD5
Message Digest 5. A one-way hashing algorithm that produces a 128-bit hash. Both MD5 and
SHA-1
are variations on MD4 and are designed to strengthen the security of the MD4 hashing algorithm.
SHA-1
is more secure than MD4 and MD5. Cisco uses hashes for authentication within the
IPSec
framework. Also used for message authentication in SNMP v.2. MD5 verifies the integrity of the
communication, authenticates the origin, and checks for timeliness.
MD5
has a smaller digest and is
considered to be slightly faster than
SHA-1
.
MDI
Media dependent interface.
MDIX
Media dependent interface crossover.
Message Digest
A message digest is created by a hash algorithm, such as
MD5
or
SHA-1
, that is used for ensuring
message integrity.
MSFC
Multilayer Switch Feature Card. The Multilayer Switch Feature Card is a router card installed in the
Catalyst 6500 switch or Cisco 7600 router.
MGCP
Media Gateway Control Protocol. Media Gateway Control Protocol is a protocol for the control of
VoIP calls by external call-control elements known as media gateway controllers or call agents. MGCP
merges the IPDC and
SGCP
protocols.

MS
mobile station. Refers generically to any mobile device, such as a mobile handset or computer, that is
used to access network services.
GPRS
networks support three classes of MS, which describe the type
of operation supported within the
GPRS
and the
GSM
mobile wireless networks. For example, a Class
A MS supports simultaneous operation of
GPRS
and
GSM
services.
