Glossary
End System
An end user device on a network.
EPG
Exterior Gateway Protocol
. Permits exchanging routing information between two
neighboring gateway hosts in an autonomous systems network.
ESP
Encapsulating Security Payload
. Provides a variety of security services for IPv4 and
IPv6.
Ethernet
Uses a bus or star topology and supports data transfer rates of Mpbs. A newer
version called Fast Ethernet supports 100 Mbps. Ethernet is standardized as per
IEEE 802.3. Ethernet is the most commonly implemented LAN standard.
EWS
Embedded Web Server
. Provides device management via a standard web browser.
Embedded Web Servers are used in addition to or in place of a CLI or NMS.
F
FE
Fast Ethernet
. Fast Ethernet transmits at 100 Mbps rather than 10 Mbps.
FFT
Fast Forward Table.
Provides information about forwarding routes. If a packet
arrives at a device with a known route, the packet is forwarded via a route listed in
the FFT. If there is not a known route, the CPU forwards the packet and updates the
FFT.
FIFO
First In First Out.
A queuing process where the first packet in the queue is the first to
be transmitted.
Flapping
Flapping occurs when an interface’s state is constantly changing. For example, an
STP port constantly changes from listening to learning to forwarding. This may
cause detrimental traffic loss.
Flow Control
Enables lower speed devices to communicate with higher speed devices. This is
implemented by the higher speed device refraining from sending packets.
Fragment
Ethernet packets smaller than 576 bits.
Frame
Packets containing the header and trailer information required by the physical
medium.
FTP
File Transfer Protocol
. Transfers files between network nodes.
G
GARP
General Attributes Registration Protocol.
Registers client stations into a multicast
domain.
GBIC
GigaBit Interface Converter.
A hardware module used to attach network devices to
fiber-based transmission systems. GBIC converts the serial electrical signals to serial
optical signals and vice versa.
