IP MULTICAST FILTERING A process whereby this switch can pass multicast traffic
along to participating hosts.
IP PRECEDENCE The Type of Service (ToS) octet in the IPv4 header includes three
precedence bits defining eight different priority levels ranging from
highest priority for network control packets to lowest priority for
routine traffic. The eight values are mapped one-to-one to the Class
of Service categories by default, but may be configured differently to
suit the requirements for specific network applications.
LACP Link Aggregation Control Protocol. Allows ports to automatically
negotiate a trunked link with LACP-configured ports on another device.
LAYER 2 Data Link layer in the ISO 7-Layer Data Communications Protocol.
This is related directly to the hardware interface for network devices
and passes on traffic based on MAC addresses.
LINK AGGREGATION See Port Trunk.
LLDP Link Layer Discovery Protocol is used to discover basic information
about neighboring devices in the local broadcast domain by using
periodic broadcasts to advertise information such as device
identification, capabilities and configuration settings.
MD5 MD5 Message-Digest is an algorithm that is used to create digital
signatures. It is intended for use with 32 bit machines and is safer
than the MD4 algorithm, which has been broken. MD5 is a one-way
hash function, meaning that it takes a message and converts it into a
fixed string of digits, also called a message digest.
MIB Management Information Base. An acronym for Management
Information Base. It is a set of database objects that contains
information about a specific device.
MLD SNOOPING Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) snooping dynamically configures
switch ports to limit IPv6 multicast traffic so that it is forwarded only to
ports with users that want to receive it. This switch supports MLDv1,
which includes Listener Query, Listener Report, and Listener Done
messages (equivalent to IGMPv2 query, report, and leave messages).
MSTP Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol can provide an independent
spanning tree for different VLANs. It simplifies network management,
provides for even faster convergence than RSTP by limiting the size
of each region, and prevents VLAN members from being segmented
from the rest of the group.
MULTICAST SWITCHING A process whereby the switch filters incoming multicast
frames for services for which no attached host has registered, or
