simple network
management protocol
community name
SNMP community name. The name assigned to a given SNMP com-
munity. Queries from an SNMP management station to a device run-
ning an SNMP agent will only elicit a response if those queries are
addressed with the correct SNMP community name.
simple network
management protocol
management station
SNMP management station. An SNMP workstation personal com-
puter (PC) used to oversee the SNMP network.
simple network
management protocol
version 1
SNMP v1. The original standard for SNMP is now referred to as
SNMP v1.
simple network
management protocol
version 2
SNMP v2. The second version of the SNMP standard. This version
expands the functionality of SNMP and broadens its ability to include
OSI-based, as well as TCP/IP-based, networks as specified in RFC
1441 through 1452.
singlemode optical
fiber
An optical fiber that allows one wavelength-dependent mode (light
path) to propagate. Contrast with
multimode optical fiber .
small computer
system interface
SCSI. An interface standard that enables computers to communicate
with peripherals connected to them. Commonly used in enterprise
computing and in Apple Macintosh systems. Usually pronounced as
“scuzzy.” The equivalent interface in most personal computers is
enhanced integrated drive electronics (EIDE).
A narrow SCSI adapter supports up to eight devices, including itself.
SCSI address 7 has the highest priority followed by 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0,
with 0 being the lowest priority.
small form factor
pluggable
transceivers
SFP transceivers. Laser-based optical transceivers for a wide range of
networking applications requiring high data rates. The transceivers,
which are designed for increased densities, performance, and
reduced power, are well-suited for Fibre Channel applications.
