16- and 36-Port Ethernet Switch Module for Cisco 2600 Series, Cisco 3600 Series, and Cisco 3700 Series Glossary DSL-digital subscriber line. Public network technology that delivers high bandwidth over conventional copper wiring at limited distances. There are four types of DSL: ADSL, HDSL, SDSL, and VDSL. All are provisioned via modem pairs, with one modem at a central office and the other at the customer site. Because most DSL technologies do not use the whole bandwidth of the twisted pair, there is room remaining for a voice channel. EAP-Extensible Authentication Protocol. A mechanism (originally designed for PPP in RFC 2284) that provides authentication of hosts requesting access to a network. EAPOL-EAP over LAN. EAP over LAN framing instead of PPP. Frame Relay-The capability to carry normal telephony-style voice over an IP-based network with POTS-like functionality, reliability, and voice quality. VoIP lets a router carry voice traffic (such as telephone calls and faxes) over an IP network. In VoIP, the DSP segments the voice signal into frames, which then are coupled in groups of two and stored in voice packets. These voice packets are transported using IP in compliance with ITU-T specification H.323. FXO-Foreign Exchange Office. An FXO interface connects to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) central office and is the interface offered on a standard telephone. Cisco's FX interface is an RJ-11 connector that allows an analog connection at the PSTN's central office or to a station interface on a PBX. FXS-Foreign Exchange Station. An FXS interface connects directly to a standard telephone and supplies ring, voltage, and dial tone. Cisco's FXS interface is an RJ-11 connector that allows connections to basic telephone service equipment, keysets, and PBXs. HSRP-Hot Standby Router Protocol. Provides high network availability and transparent network topology changes. HSRP creates a hot standby router group with a lead router that services all packets sent to the hot standby address. The lead router is monitored by other routers in the group, and if it fails, one of these standby routers inherits the lead position and the hot standby group address. IGMP-Internet Group Management Protocol. Used by IP hosts to report their multicast group memberships to an adjacent multicast router. ISL-InterSwitch Link, which is used to carry traffic for multiple VLANs. A method of encapsulating tagged LAN frames and transporting them over a full-duplex, point-to-point Ethernet link. The encapsulated frames can be token-ring or Fast Ethernet and are carried unchanged from transmitter to receiver. 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 network management system. MIB objects are organized in a tree structure that includes public (standard) and private (proprietary) branches. policing-Process of ensuring whether a stream of classified incoming packets conforms to a particular traffic profile. An action (drop or remark) is taken based on the rate of arrival of packets. PRI-primary rate interface. ISDN interface to primary rate access. Primary rate access consists of one 64-kbps D channel and 23 (T1) or 30 (E1) B channels for voice or data. Compare with BRI. PSTN-public switched telephone network. General term referring to the variety of telephone networks and services in place worldwide. Also called POTS. PVC-permanent virtual circuit. Virtual circuit that is permanently established. PVCs save bandwidth associated with circuit establishment and tear down in situations where certain virtual circuits must exist all the time. In ATM terminology, called a permanent virtual connection. Compare with SVC. PVST-Per-VLAN spanning tree. Support for dot1q trunks to map multiple spanning trees to a single spanning tree.
