MTU (Maximum Transfer Unit)
The maximum size of a packet payload (not including headers) that can be
sent /received from a port
Network Adapter
A hardware device that allows for communication between computers in a
network
PFC/FC
Priority Based Flow Control applies pause functionality to traffic classes OR
classes of service on the Ethernet link.
RADIUS
Remote Authentication Dial In User Service. A networking protocol that
enables AAA centralized management for computers to connect and use a net-
work service.
RDMA (Remote Direct Memory
Access)
Accessing memory in a remote side without involvement of the remote CPU
RSTP
Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol. A spanning-tree protocol used to prevent loops
in bridge configurations. RSTP is not aware of VLANs and blocks ports at the
physical level.
SA (Subnet Administrator)
The interface for querying and manipulating subnet management data
SCP
Secure Copy or SCP is a means of securely transferring computer files
between a local and a remote host or between two remote hosts. It is based on
the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol.
SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol. A network protocol for the manage-
ment of a network and the monitoring of network devices and their functions
NTP
Network Time Protocol. A protocol for synchronizing computer clocks in a
network
SSH
Secure Shell. A protocol (program) for securely logging in to and running pro-
grams on remote machines across a network. The program authenticates
access to the remote machine and encrypts the transferred information through
the connection.
syslog
A standard for forwarding log messages in an IP network
TACACS+
Terminal Access Controller Access-Control System Plus. A networking proto-
col that enables access to a network of devices via one or more centralized
servers. TACACS+ provides separate AAA services.
XML Gateway
Extensible Markup Language Gateway. Provides an XML request-response
protocol for setting and retrieving HW management information.
