access control list
An access control list, which is also known as a filter policy, is a template
applied to services or ports to control ingress or egress network traffic on a
SAP or port based on IP and MAC matching criteria. Filters are applied to
services to examine packets that enter or exit a SAP or network interface. An
ACL policy can be used on multiple interfaces. The same filter can be
applied to ingress and egress traffic.
An alarm is a node-generated message created as a result of an event, such
as an interface status change.

application programming interface
An API is a set of programming functions and routines that provides an
interface to the network for application programs. APIs translate high-level
program code into low-level computer instructions that run the network.
Thus, application programs (for example, word processors) can
communicate with low-level programs handling network data traffic.
address resolution protocol
ARP is a protocol in the TCP/IP suite that supplies a host IP address to obtain
the physical address of the host, such as an Ethernet address.
See 5620 SAM auxiliary
