A subnet mask is a bit mask that defines which part of an IP address is used
for the network part and which part for a host (computer) number. A subnet
mask is like an IP address represented by four numbers in the range 0 - 255
separated by dots. When the IP address 172.17.23.14 has a subnet mask of
255.255.255.0, the network part is 172.17.23 and the host number is 14.
See also IP address.
Syslog Server receives, logs, displays, and forwards syslog messages from
network devices like routers.
T
When a frame enters the VLAN-aware area of the network, a tag is added to
represent the VLAN membership of the frame's port or the port/protocol
combination. These are called Tagged Frames.
The TCP/IP internet-suite protocol describes a set of general design guidelines
and implementations of specific networking protocols to enable computers to
communicate over a network. TCP/IP provides end-to-end connectivity
specifying how data should be formatted, addressed, transmitted, routed and
received at the destination.
Telnet is a network protocol used on the Internet or local area networks to
access the command-line interface, on a remote host. Most network
equipment and operating systems with a TCP/IP stack support a Telnet service
for remote configuration.
Topology is the physical layout of network components (cable, wireless
clients, gateways, hubs, and so on).
Transmit Power Control value applied by the device to adjust the transmit
power radiated by the radio antenna.
Traps are alert messages sent by the SNMP agent, running within the device,
to report significant events to the SNMP manager or TRAP receiver.
Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is a lightweight protocol for transferring
files that is like a simple form of File Transfer Protocol (FTP). A TFTP client is
implemented on the unit. By using the upload and download commands, the
unit can copy a file to or from a TFTP server.
U
Unicast transmission is the sending of messages to a single network
destination identified by a unique address.
Untagged frames are frames which have no VLAN Id associated to it.
Uploading a file means copying a file from a network device to a remote
server. In case of the unit, uploading means transferring a file from the unit to
a TFTP server. See also download.
Upstream means a data stream from the end users to the central part of the
network. See also Downstream / Downlink.
