A test that is performed by the hardware to ensure the integrity of the
cable. The link test can be disabled to allow old style NICs incapable
of performing a link test to connect to the repeater.
A data communications network consisting of host computers or other
equipment interconnected to terminal devices, such as personal
computers, often via twisted-pair wire or coaxial cable. Typically, the
network is limited to a single premise.
The Ethernet MAC address is a 6-byte node address. All Ethernet node
addresses are unique. The MAC address of a repeater must be known
before the repeater IP address can be set.
A repeater is manageable is it contains an SNMP agent and there is a
data communications path to that agent.
Created by plugging an optional Alternate Media Module into the 16-
port repeater. The MEP (the 17th port) provides an AUI, BNC, or fiber
connection.
Describes an agent's configuration flexibility, diagnostic ability, and
information that can be reported to a network management station.
