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 end station to which data is being sent, as well as the address of the destination network. traffic monitoring Enables the monitoring of port traffic by attaching a network analyzer to one switch port, in order to monitor the traffic of other ports on the Switch. trunking A method which specifies how to create a single high-speed logical link that combines several lower-speed physical links. VLAN Virtual LAN. 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. GLOSSARY 75

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 end
station to which data is being sent, as well as the
address of the destination network.
traffic monitoring
Enables the monitoring of port traffic by attaching a
network analyzer to one switch port, in order to
monitor the traffic of other ports on the Switch.
trunking
A method which specifies how to create a single
high-speed logical link that combines several
lower-speed physical links.
VLAN
Virtual LAN. 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.
