IP Multicast Filtering

A process whereby this switch can pass multicast traffic along to participating
hosts.
Layer 2
Data Link layer in the ISO 7-Layer Data Communications Protocol. This is related
directly to the hardware interface for network devices and passes on traffic based
on MAC addresses.
Layer 3
Network layer in the ISO 7-Layer Data Communications Protocol. This layer
handles the routing functions for data moving from one open system to another.

Link Aggregation

See Port Trunk.
Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP)
Allows ports to automatically negotiate a trunked link with LACP-configured ports
on another device.
Media Access Control (MAC)
A portion of the networking protocol that governs access to the transmission
medium, facilitating the exchange of data between network nodes.
Management Information Base (MIB)
