SWITCHED PORTS
Ports that are on separate collision domains or LAN segments.
TIA
Telecommunications Industry Association.
TRANSMISSION
CONTROL
PROTOCOL/INTERNE
T PROTOCOL
(TCP/IP)
Protocol suite that includes TCP as the primary transport
protocol, and IP as the network layer protocol.
USER DATAGRAM
PROTOCOL (UDP)
UDP provides a datagram mode for the packet-switched
communications. It uses the IP as the underlying transport
mechanism to provide access to IP-like services.
UDP packets are delivered just like IP packets – connection-less
data grams that may be discarded before reaching their targets.
UDP is useful when TCP would be too complex, too slow, or just
unnecessary.
UTP
Unshielded twisted-pair cable.
VIRTUAL LAN (VLAN)
A Virtual LAN is a collection of network nodes that share the
same collision domain regardless of their physical location or
connection point in the network. A VLAN serves as a logical
workgroup with no physical barriers, allowing users to share
information and resources as though located on the same LAN.
