Using multiple ports in parallel to increase the link speed beyond the limits of a port and to increase the redundancy for
higher availability.
(Also Port Aggregation, Link Aggregation).
ARP
ARP is an acronym for Address Resolution Protocol. It is a protocol that used to convert an IP address into a physical
address, such as an Ethernet address. ARP allows a host to communicate with other hosts when only the Internet address
of its neighbors is known. Before using IP, the host sends a broadcast ARP request containing the Internet address of
the desired destination system.
ARP Inspection
ARP Inspection is a secure feature. Several types of attacks can be launched against a host or devices connected to Layer
2 networks by "poisoning" the ARP caches. This feature is used to block such attacks. Only valid ARP requests and
responses can go through the switch device.
Auto-Negotiation
Auto-negotiation is the process where two different devices establish the mode of operation and the speed settings that
can be shared by those devices for a link.
C
CC
CC is an acronym for Continuity Check. It is a MEP functionality that is able to detect loss of continuity in a network by
transmitting CCM frames to a peer MEP.
CCM
CCM is an acronym for Continuity Check Message. It is a OAM frame transmitted from a MEP to it's peer MEP and used
to implement CC functionality.
CDP
CDP is an acronym for Cisco Discovery Protocol.
D
DEI
DEI is an acronym for Drop Eligible Indicator. It is a 1-bit field in the VLAN tag.
DES
DES is an acronym for Data Encryption Standard. It provides a complete description of a mathematical algorithm for
encrypting (enciphering) and decrypting (deciphering) binary coded information.
Encrypting data converts it to an unintelligible form called cipher. Decrypting cipher converts the data back to its original
form called plaintext. The algorithm described in this standard specifies both enciphering and deciphering operations
which are based on a binary number called a key.
DHCP
DHCP is an acronym for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. It is a protocol used for assigning dynamic IP addresses
to devices on a network.
