Secure Shell (SSH)A secure replacement for remote access functions, including Telnet. SSH can authenticate userswith a cryptographic key, and encrypt data connections between management clients and theswitch.Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)The application protocol in the Internet suite of protocols which offers network managementservices.Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP)SNTP allows a device to set its internal clock based on periodic updates from a Network TimeProtocol (NTP) server. Updates can be requested from a specific NTP server, or can be receivedvia broadcasts sent by NTP servers.Spanning Tree Algorithm (STA)A technology that checks your network for any loops. A loop can often occur in complicated orbackup linked network systems. Spanning Tree detects and directs data along the shortestavailable path, maximizing the performance and efficiency of the network.TelnetDefines a remote communication facility for interfacing to a terminal device over TCP/IP.Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)Protocol suite that includes TCP as the primary transport protocol, and IP as the network layerprotocol.Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP)A TCP/IP protocol commonly used for software downloads.User Datagram Protocol (UDP)UDP provides a datagram mode for packet-switched communications. It uses IP as the underlyingtransport mechanism to provide access to IP-like services. UDP packets are delivered just like IPpackets – connection-less datagrams that may be discarded before reaching their targets. UDP isuseful when TCP would be too complex, too slow, or just unnecessary.Virtual LAN (VLAN)A Virtual LAN is a collection of network nodes that share the same collision domain regardless oftheir physical location or connection point in the network. A VLAN serves as a logical workgroupwith no physical barriers, and allows users to share information and resources as though locatedon the same LAN.Return to CONTENTS227
