Glossary
This glossary contains key technical words of interest.
A
Auto-negotiation
Allows 10/100 Mpbs or 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports to establish for the following features:
•
Duplex/ Half Duplex Mode
•
Flow Control
•
Speed
B
Back Pressure
A mechanism used with Half Duplex mode that enables a port not to receive a message.
Bandwidth
Bandwidth specifies the amount of data that can be transmitted in a fixed amount of time. For digital switch
modules, bandwidth is defined in Bits per Second (bps) or Bytes per Second.
Bandwidth Assignments
The amount of bandwidth assigned to a specific application, user, or interface.
Best Effort
Traffic is assigned to the lowest priority queue, and packet delivery is not guaranteed.
Boot Version
The boot version.
BootP
Bootstrap Protocol. Enables a workstation to discover its IP address, an IP address of a BootP server on a network,
or a configuration file loaded into the boot of a switch module.
Broadcast Domain
Ethernet switch module sets that receive broadcast frames originating from any Ethernet switch module within a
designated set. Routers bind Broadcast domains, because routers do not forward broadcast frames.
Broadcasting
A method of transmitting packets to all ports on a network.
