Glossary MAC Media Access Control. Lower of the two sublayers of the data link layer defined by the IEEE. The MAC sublayer handles access to shared media. MAC address Standardized data link layer address that is required for each port or device that connects to a LAN. Other devices in the network use these addresses to locate specific ports in the network, and to create and update routing tables and data structures. MAC addresses are 6 bytes long and are controlled by the IEEE. Also known as a hardware address, MAC-layer address, or physical address. Major alarm One of a group of alarm conditions that are considered the second most severe of all reportable alarms. Major alarms affect several subscribers who connect to the reporting node. You can use the show facility-alarm status IOS command to obtain more information about the problem. See also Critical alarm and Minor alarm. MAN Metropolitan-area network. A network that spans a metropolitan area. Generally, a MAN spans a larger geographic area than a LAN, but a smaller geographic area than a WAN. Compare with LAN and WAN. Management Information Base See MIB. Media Access Control See MAC. Metropolitan-area See MAN. network MIB Management Information Base. Database of network management information that is used and maintained by a network management protocol such as SNMP or CMIP. The value of a MIB object can be changed or retrieved using SNMP or CMIP commands, usually through a GUI-based network management system. MIB objects are organized in a tree structure that includes public (standard) and private (proprietary) branches. Minor alarm One of a group of alarm conditions that are considered the third most severe of all reportable alarms. Minor alarms affect a single or small number of subscribers who connect to the reporting node. You can use the show facility-alarm status IOS command to obtain more information about the problem. See also Critical alarm and Major alarm. MLP Multilink Point-to-Point Protocol. A method of splitting, recombining, and sequencing datagrams across multiple logical data links. MMF Multimode fiber. Optical fiber supporting propagation of multiple frequencies of light. See also Single-mode fiber. MPLS Multiprotocol Label Switching. An emerging industry standard upon which tag switching is based. Multicast Single packets copied by the network and sent to a specific subset of network addresses. These addresses are specified in the Destination Address field. Compare with Broadcast and Unicast. Multilink Point-to-Point See MLP. Multimode fiber See MMF. GL-8 Cisco 10008 Router Hardware Installation Guide OL-0659-13
