STA
Spanning Tree Algorithm is a technology that checks your network for any
loops. A loop can often occur in complicated or backup linked network
systems. Spanning Tree detects and directs data along the shortest
available path, maximizing the performance and efficiency of the network.
Terminal Access Controller Access Control System Plus. TA
CACS+
is a logon
authentication protocol that uses software running on a central server to
control access to TACACS-compliant devices on the network.
TCP/IP
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. Protocol suite that
includes TCP as the primary transport protocol, and IP as the network layer
protocol.
T
ELNET
Defines a remote communication facility for interfacing to a terminal device
over TCP/IP.
TFTP
Trivial File Transfer Protocol. A TCP/IP protocol commonly used for software
downloads.
UDP
User Datagram Protocol. UD
P
provides a datagram mode for packet-
switched communications. It uses IP as the underlying transport
mechanism to provide access to IP-like services. UDP packets are delivered
just like IP packets – connection-less datagrams that may be discarded
before reaching their targets. UDP is useful when TCP would be too
complex, too slow, or just unnecessary.
UTC
Universal Time Coordinate. UTC is a time scale that couples Greenwich
Mean Time (based solely on the Earth’s rotation rate) with highly accurate
atomic time. The UTC does not have daylight saving time.
VLAN
Virtual LAN. A Virtual LAN is a collection of network nodes that share the
same collision domain regardless of their physical location or connection
point in the network. A VLAN serves as a logical workgroup with no
physical barriers, and allows users to share information and resources as
though located on the same LAN.
XM
ODEM
A protocol used to transfer files between devices. Data is grouped in 128-
byte blocks and error-corrected.
