Startup Configuration
Retains the exact switch module configuration when the switch module is
powered down or rebooted.
Subnet
Sub-network. Subnets are portions of a network that share a common address
component. On TCP/IP networks, devices that share a prefix are part of the
same subnet. For example, all devices with a prefix of 157.100.100.100 are
part of the same subnet.
Subnet Mask
Used to mask all or part of an IP address used in a subnet address.
Switch
Filters and forwards packets between LAN segments. Switches support any
packet protocol type.
T
TCP/IP
Transmissions Control Protocol
. Enables two hosts to communicate and
exchange data streams. TCP guarantees packet delivery, and guarantees
packets are transmitted and received in the order their sent.
TCP/IP Congestion Avoidance
Transmissions Control Protocol
Congestion Avoidance.
The TCP Congestion
Avoidance feature activates an algorithm that breaks up or prevents TCP
global synchronization on a congested node, where the congestion is due to
multiple sources sending packets with the same byte count.
Telnet
Terminal Emulation Protocol.
Enables system users to log in and use
resources on remote networks.
TFTP
Trivial File Transfer Protocol
. Uses User Data Protocol (UDP) without
security features to transfer files.
Trap
