Port Mirroring
A method whereby data on a target port is mirrored to an analysis
port for troubleshooting with a logic analyzer or RMON probe.
This allows data on the target port to be studied unobtrusively.
Port Trunk
Defines network link aggregation and trunking standards which
specify how to create a single high-speed logical link that
combines several lower-speed physical links.
Remote Monitoring (RMON)
RMON provides comprehensive network monitoring capabilities. It
eliminates the polling required in standard SNMP, and can set
alarms on a variety of traffic conditions, including specific errors
types.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
The application protocol offering network management services in
the Internet suite of protocols.
SLIP
Serial Line Internet Protocol, a standard protocol for point-to-point
connections using serial lines.
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)
A technology that checks your network for any loops. A loop can
often occur in complicated or back-up linked network systems.
Spanning-tree detects and directs data along the shortest path,
maximizing the performance and efficiency of the network.
Telnet
Defines a remote communication facility for interfacing to a
terminal device over TCP/IP.
