MTU
Maximum transmission unit, the maximum number of bytes in a packet that can flow efficiently across
the network with best response time. For Ethernet, the default MTU is 1500 bytes, but each network
can have different values, with serial connections having the smallest values. The MTU is described
in RFC 1191.
multicast
Multicast refers to a network addressing method in which the source transmits a packet to multiple
destinations, a multicast group, simultaneously. See also
PIM
,
SMR
.
N
N2H2
A third-party, policy-oriented filtering application that works with the FWSM to control user web
access. N2H2 can filter
HTTP
requests based on destination host name, destination IP address, and
username and password. The N2H2 corporation was acquired by Secure Computing in October, 2003.
NAT
Network Address Translation. Mechanism for reducing the need for globally unique IP addresses.
NAT allows an organization with addresses that are not globally unique to connect to the
Internet
by
translating those addresses into a globally routable address space.
NBAR
Network-Based Application Recognition.
NEM
Network Extension Mode. Lets
VPN
hardware clients present a single, routable network to the remote
private network over the
VPN
tunnel.
NetBIOS
Network Basic Input/Output System. A Microsoft protocol that supports Windows host name
registration, session management, and data transfer. The FWSM supports NetBIOS by performing
NAT
of the packets for NBNS UDP port 137 and NBDS UDP port 138.
netmask

mask
.
network
In the context of FWSM configuration, a network is a group of computing devices that share part of
an IP address space and not a single host. A network consists of multiple nodes or hosts. See also

NMS
network management system. System responsible for managing at least part of a network. An NMS is
generally a reasonably powerful and well-equipped computer, such as an engineering workstation.
NMSs communicate with agents to help keep track of network statistics and resources.
node
Devices such as routers and printers that would not normally be called hosts. See also

network
.
nonvolatile storage,
memory
Storage or memory that, unlike RAM, retains its contents without power. Data in a nonvolatile storage
device survives a power-off, power-on cycle or reboot.
NP
Network processor.
NSAPI
Network service access point identifier. One of two components of a
GTP
tunnel ID, the other
component being the
IMSI
. See also
IMSI
.
NSSA
Not-so-stubby-area. An OSPF feature described by RFC 1587. NSSA was first introduced in Cisco
IOS software release 11.2. It is a non-proprietary extension of the existing stub area feature that allows
the injection of external routes in a limited fashion into the stub area.
