service-level agreement
An SLA is a service contract between a network service provider and a
subscriber that guarantees a particular QoS. SLAs are used for providing
network availability and data-delivery reliability.
Simple Network Management Protocol
A protocol used for the transport of network management information
between a network manager and a network element. SNMP is the most
commonly used standard for most interworking devices.
An SNMP trap is an unsolicited notification that indicates that the SNMP
agent on the node has detected a node event, and that the network
management domain should be aware of the event. SNMP trap information
typically includes alarm and status information, and standard SNMP
messages.
SNMP trap log ID is the ID of a log. A valid log ID must exist for alarms and
traps to be sent to the trap receiver.
The name for the UNIX operating system variant developed by SUN
Microsystems.
secure shell
The SSH protocol is used to protect communications between two hosts by
encrypting a Telnet or FTP connection between the 5620 SAM and some
nodes. 5620 SAM uses SSH version 1.5. Both ends of the client/server
connection are authenticated, and passwords are protected by being
encrypted.

transmission control protocol
TCP is a protocol used, along with the Internet Protocol (IP), to send data in
the form of message units between computers over the Internet. While IP
takes care of handling the actual delivery of the data, TCP takes care of
keeping track of the individual units of data (called packets) that a message
is divided into for efficient routing through the Internet.
Telnet is the Internet-standard TCP/IP protocol for remote terminal
connection service. It allows a user at one site to interact with a remote
timesharing system at another site as if the user's terminal connected directly
to the remote machine.
