117 bridges, in that they connect LANs of a different type; however they connect more LANs than a bridge and are generally more sophisticated. Switch Database A database that is stored by a switch to determine if a packet should be forwarded, and which port should forward the packet if it is to be forwarded. Also known as Forwarding Database. TCP/IP Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. This is the name for two of the most well-known protocols developed for the interconnection of networks. Originally a UNIX standard, TCP/IP is now supported on almost all platforms, and is the protocol of the Internet. TCP relates to the content of the data travelling through a network - ensuring that the information sent arrives in one piece when it reaches its destination. IP relates to the address of the endstation to which data is being sent, as well as the address of the destination network. Telnet A TCP/IP application protocol that provides a virtual terminal service, letting a user log into another computer system and access a device as if the user were connected directly to the device. TFTP Trivial File Transfer Protocol. Allows you to transfer files (such as software upgrades) from a remote device using the local management capabilities of the Switch. traffic classification Traffic can be classified using one or more of types of traffic classifiers. A classifier detects the packet attributes and classifies the traffic accordingly. traffic prioritization A system which allows data that has been assigned a high priority to be forwarded through a switch without being obstructed by other data. unicast A packet sent to a single endstation on a network. VLAN Virtual LAN. A group of location- and topology-independent devices that communicate as if they are on the same physical LAN. VLAN tagging A system that allows traffic for multiple VLANs to be carried on a single link. WAN Wide Area Network. A communications network that covers a wide area. A WAN can cover a large geographic area, and may contain several LANs within it.

Switch Database
A database that is stored by a switch to determine if a packet should
be forwarded, and which port should forward the packet if it is to be
forwarded. Also known as Forwarding Database.
TCP/IP
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. This is the name for
two of the most well-known protocols developed for the
interconnection of networks. Originally a UNIX standard, TCP/IP is now
supported on almost all platforms, and is the protocol of the Internet.
TCP relates to the content of the data travelling through a network —
ensuring that the information sent arrives in one piece when it reaches
its destination. IP relates to the address of the endstation to which data
is being sent, as well as the address of the destination network.
Telnet
A TCP/IP application protocol that provides a virtual terminal service,
letting a user log into another computer system and access a device as
if the user were connected directly to the device.
TFTP
Trivial File Transfer Protocol. Allows you to transfer files (such as
software upgrades) from a remote device using the local management
capabilities of the Switch.
traffic classification
Traffic can be classified using one or more of types of traffic classifiers. A
classifier detects the packet attributes and classifies the traffic
accordingly.
traffic prioritization
A system which allows data that has been assigned a high priority to
be forwarded through a switch without being obstructed by other data.
unicast
A packet sent to a single endstation on a network.
VLAN
Virtual LAN. A group of location- and topology-independent devices
that communicate as if they are on the same physical LAN.
VLAN tagging
A system that allows traffic for multiple VLANs to be carried on a single
link.
WAN
Wide Area Network. A communications network that covers a wide
area. A WAN can cover a large geographic area, and may contain
several LANs within it.
