Spanning Tree Protocol – (STP)
A bridge-based system for providing fault tolerance on networks. STP works by allowing you to implement parallel paths for network traffic, and
to ensure that redundant paths are disabled when the main paths are operational and enabled if the main paths fail.
Stack
A group of network devices that are integrated to form a single logical device.
Standby Port
The port in a resilient link that will take over data transmission if the main port in the link fails.
Switch

Telnet
A TCP/IP application protocol that provides virtual terminal service, letting a user log in to another computer system and access a host as if the user

TFTP
Trivial File Transfer Protocol. Allows you to transfer files (such as software upgrades) from a remote device using your switch’s local management
capabilities.
UDP
User Datagram Protocol. An Internet standard protocol that allows an application program on one device to send a datagram to an application
program on another device.
