SNTP
SNTP is an acronym for Simple Network TimeProtocol, a network protocol for synchronizing the
clocks of computer systems. SNTP uses UDP (datagrams) as transport layer.
SPROUT
Stack Protocol using ROUting Technology. An advanced protocol for almost instantaneous discovery
of topology changes within a stack as well as election of a master switch. SPROUT also calculates
Parameters for setting up each switch to perform shortest path forwarding within the stack.
SSID
Service Set Identifier is a name used to identify the particular 802.11 wireless LANs to which a user
wants to attach. A client device will receive broadcast messages from all access points within range
advertising their SSIDs, and can choose one to connect to based on pre-configuration, or by
displaying a list of SSIDs in range and asking the user to select one (wikipedia).
SSH
SSH is an acronym for Secure SHell. It is a network protocol that allows data to be exchanged using a
secure channel between two networked devices. The encryption used by SSH provides confidentiality
and integrity of data over an insecure network. The goal of SSH was to replace the earlier rlogin,
TELNET and rsh protocols, which did not provide strong authentication or guarantee confidentiality
(Wikipedia).
SSM
SSM In SyncE this is an abbreviation for Synchronization Status Message and is containing a QL
indication.
STP
Spanning Tree Protocol is an OSI layer-2 protocol which ensures a loop free topology for any bridged
LAN. The original STP protocol is now obsolete by RSTP.
Switch ID
Switch IDs (1-16) are used to uniquely identify the switches within a stack. The Switch ID of each
switch is shown on the display on the front of the switch and is used widely in the web pages as well
as in the CLI commands.
SyncE
SyncE Is an abbreviation for Synchronous Ethernet. This functionality is used to make a network 'clock
frequency' synchronized. Not to be confused with real time clock synchronized (IEEE 1588).
sFlow
sFlow is an acronym for sample Flow. This protocol is used to monitor the sampled traffic on the
switch. The sFlow Agent configures the sampling rate at which the samples have to collected. The
sFlow collector is configured to send the sample data to the external traffic monitoring application.
