discovery, topology collection, centralized management and remote
maintenance are implemented on Layer 2 devices of a cluster that are
connected with the router.
I
Information center
The information hinge in the MA5200G that can classify and filter the output
information.
IPv6
Internet Protocol Version 6. Replacement for the current version of IP (version
4) designed by the IETF. It is the second generation standard protocol of the
internet layer and it is also called IPng (next generation). The length of the IP
address in IPv6 is 128 bit and the length of the IP address in IPv4 is 32 bit.
IP negotiated
An attribute of the interface. When the user accesses the Internet through the
ISP, the IP address is usually allocated by the peer server. The PPP packet must
be encapsulated and the IP address negotiated attribute must be configured on
the interface so that the local interface accepts the IP address allocated by the
peer end through the PPP negotiation.
IP unnumbered
A mechanism in which the interface that is not configured with an IP address
can borrow the IP address of the interface that is configured with an IP address
to save the IP address resource.
ISATAP tunnel
Intra-site Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol. A protocol that is used for
the IPv4/IPv6 host in the IPv4 network to access the IPv6 network. The
ISATAP tunnel can be established between the ISATAP hosts or between the
ISATAP host and the ISATAP router.
ISIS-TE
Traffic engineering of IS-IS. (For the information of IS-IS, refer to

L
LAN interface
Local Area Network interface. Often an Ethernet interface through which the
router can exchange data with the network device in a LAN.
License
Permission of some features that dynamically control the product.
Logical interface
A configured interface that can exchange data but does not exist physically. A
logical interface can be a sub-interface, virtual-template interface, virtual
Ethernet interface, Loopback interface, Null interface and Tunnel interface.
M
