The BOOTstrap Protocol, a method network devices can use to obtain TCP/IP configuration information from a central location on startup. A LAN device used to connect two different LANs so that packets can be transmitted from one to the other. A bridge works on a low level, and does not take higher-level protocols into consideration. In this document and the hub management software, switching modules are most often referred to as bridges. The practice of connecting identical or similar LAN devices such as hubs together directly so that they function as one device. A collection of cascaded devices is often called a stack. Communication cabling standards referring to the quality of the transmission medium and whether or not the cable includes transmission leakage shielding. Simultaneous data transmission on a network medium, resulting in a garbled (and unreadable) transmission. See SMA/CD." A section of a network isolated from other sections by a switch, bridge, or hub that detects and resolves collisions locally so that there is less impact on the entire network. Glossary
