Glossary

Maps an IP address to a physical machine address, for example, maps
an IP address to an Ethernet media access control (MAC) address.
An inter-domain routing protocol that provides loop-free inter-domain
routing between Autonomous Systems (AS) or within an AS.
A point-to-point connection that aggregates similar ports from different
modules to logically act like a single port, but with the aggregated
bandwidth.
The technology foundation for audio and video streaming, push
applications, software distribution, multipoint conferencing, and proxy
and caching solutions.
The Data Link Layer of the OSI model. Examples of Layer 2 protocols
are Ethernet and Frame Relay.
A protocol that exists between two endpoints to bundle links into an
aggregated link group for bandwidth increase and link redundancy.
Link aggregation control protocol data unit (LACPDU) is used for
exchanging information among LACP-enabled devices.
A group that increases the link speed beyond the limits of one single
cable or port, and also increases the redundancy for higher availability.
Arbitrates access to and from a shared medium.
A method of link aggregation that uses multiple Ethernet trunks
aggregated to provide a single logical trunk. A multilink trunk provides
the combined bandwidth of multiple links and the physical layer
protection against the failure of a single link.
Configures multiple instances of the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol
(RSTP) on the switch.
