IP
IP
is an acronym for Internet Protocol. It is a protocol used for communicating data across a
internet network.
IP is a "best effort" system, which means that no packet of information sent over it is assured
to reach its destination in the same condition it was sent. Each device connected to a Local
Area Network (LAN) or Wide Area Network (WAN) is given an Internet Protocol address, and
this IP address is used to identify the device uniquely among all other devices connected to the
extended network.
The current version of the Internet protocol is IPv4, which has 32-bits Internet Protocol
addresses allowing for in excess of four billion unique addresses. This number is reduced
drastically by the practice of webmasters taking addresses in large blocks, the bulk of which
remain unused. There is a rather substantial movement to adopt a new version of the Internet
Protocol, IPv6, which would have 128-bits Internet Protocol addresses. This number can be
represented roughly by a three with thirty-nine zeroes after it. However, IPv4 is still the
protocol of choice for most of the Internet.

ports by filtering traffic based on the DHCP Snooping Table or manually configured IP Source
Bindings. It helps prevent IP spoofing attacks when a host tries to spoof and use the IP address
of another host.
L
LACP
LACP is an IEEE 802.3ad standard protocol. The Link Aggregation Control Protocol, allows
bundling several physical ports together to form a single logical port.
LLDP
LLDP is an IEEE 802.1ab standard protocol. The Link Layer Discovery Protocol, is used for
network discovery, and works by having the units in the network exchanging information with
their neighbors using LLDP frames.

LOC
is an acronym for Loss Of Connectivity and is detected by a
connectivity in the network. Can be used as a switch criteria by
