SSM:
SSM is an abbreviation for Synchronization Status Message. It is contains a QL
indication.
STP:
Spanning Tree Protocol is an OSI layer
-
2 protocol, which ensures a loop free
topology for any bridged LAN. The original STP protocol is now obsolete by
RSTP.
Switch IDs:
Switch IDs (1
-
16) are used to uniquely identify the switches within a
stack. The Switch ID of each switch is shown on the display in front of the
switch. It is used widely in the web pages and CLI commands.
SyncE:
SyncE is an abbreviation for Synchronous Ethernet. This functionality is used
to make a network 'clock frequency' synchronized. It should not be confused
with real time clock synchronized (IEEE 1588).
T
:
is an acronym for Terminal Access Controller Access Control
System Plus. It is a networking protocol that provides access control for
routers, network access servers and other networked computing devices, via
one or more centralized servers. provides separate authentication,
authorization and accounting services.
Tag Priority:
Tag Priority is a 3
-
bit field storing the priority level for the 802.1Q
frame.
TCP:
TCP is an acronym for Transmission Control Protocol. It is a communications
protocol that uses the Internet Protocol (IP) to exchange the messages
between computers.
TCP protocol guarantees reliable and in
-
order delivery of data from the
sender to the receiver. It distinguishes data for multiple connections by
concurrent applications (e.g. Web server and e
-
mail server) running on the
same host.
The applications on network hosts can use TCP to create connections to one
another. It is known as a connection
-
oriented protocol. This means that a
connection is established and maintained until the messages have been
exchanged by the application programs at each end. TCP is responsible for
ensuring that a message is divided into the packets that IP manages. It also
reassembles the packets back into the complete message at the other end.
Common network applications that use TCP include the World Wide Web
(WWW), e
-
mail, and File Transfer Protocol (FTP).
