Defines a network link aggregation and trunking method which specifies
how to create a single high-speed logical link that combines several lower-
speed physical links.
Private VLANs provide port-based security and isolation between ports
within the assigned VLAN. Data traffic on downlink ports can only be
forwarded to, and from, uplink ports.
QinQ tunneling is designed for service providers carrying traffic for multiple
customers across their networks. It is used to maintain customer-specific
VLAN and Layer 2 protocol configurations even when different customers
use the same internal VLAN IDs.
Quality of Service. QoS refers to the capability of a network to provide
better service to selected traffic flows using features such as data
prioritization, queuing, congestion avoidance and traffic shaping. These
features effectively provide preferential treatment to specific flows either
by raising the priority of one flow or limiting the priority of another flow.
Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service. RA
authentication protocol that uses software running on a central server to
control access to RADIUS-compliant devices on the network.
Remote Monitoring. RMON provides comprehensive network monitoring
capabilities. It eliminates the polling required in standard SNMP, and can
set alarms on a variety of traffic conditions, including specific error types.
Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol. RSTP reduces the convergence time for
network topology changes to about 10% of that required by the older IEEE
802.1D STP standard.
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol is a standard host-to-host mail transport
protocol that operates over TCP, port 25.
Simple Network Management Protocol. The application protocol in the
Internet suite of protocols which offers network management services.
Simple Network Time Protocol allows a device to set its internal clock based
on periodic updates from a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server. Updates
can be requested from a specific NTP server, or can be received via
broadcasts sent by NTP servers.
