Glossary RIP Routing Information Protocol. Stipulates how routing table information is exchanged between routers. RJ-11 Connector Grips up to four wires. RJ-11 connector plugs the handset into the telephone, and the telephone into the wall. RJ-45 Connector Grips up to eight copper wires and resembles a standard RJ-11 telephone connector. RJ-45 connectors are commonly used with Ethernet devices. RMON Remote Monitoring on Network. Provides network information to be collected from a single workstation. ROS Real Time Operating System. An operating system designed for use in a real time computer system. Router A device that connects to separate networks. Routers forward packets between two or more networks. Routers operate at a Layer 3 level. RSTP Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol. Detects and uses network topologies that allow a faster convergence of the spanning tree, without creating forwarding loops. Running Configuration File Contains all Startup file commands, as well as all commands entered during the current session. After the device is powered down or rebooted, all commands stored in the Running Configuration file are lost. RVSP Resource Reservation Protocol. Enables Internet applications to obtain differing service resources for traffic flows. S Segmentation Divides LANs into separate LAN segments for bridging and routing. Segmentation eliminates LAN bandwidth limitations. Server A central computer that provides services to other computers on a network. Services may include file storage and access to applications. SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol. Manages LANs. SNMP-based software communicates with network devices with embedded SNMP agents. SNMP agents gather network activity and device status information and send the information back to a workstation. SoC System on a Chip. An ASIC that contains an entire system. For example, a telecom SoC application can contain a microprocessor, digital signal processor, RAM, and ROM. Spanning Tree Protocol Prevents loops in network traffic. The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) provides tree topography for any arrangement of bridges. STP provides one path between end stations on a network, eliminating loops.
