3170-A2-GB20-10
A switching interface that is designed to get frames from one part of the network to
another as quickly as possible.
A technique that separates bits into identifiable groups.
An extension to MIB II that defines additional objects for control of generic
interfaces in MIB II.
Read-only access to SNMP MIB objects.
A physical connection to earth or other reference point.
High Density Bipolar Three Zeros Substitution. A line coding technique used to
accommodate the ones density requirements of E1 lines.
High-level Data Link Control. A communications protocol defined by the
International Standards Organization (ISO).
A computer system used for application processing on a network.
Hertz. A unit of frequency that equals one cycle per second.
Internet Control Management Protocol. The protocol that enables in-band control,
diagnostic, and error messages to be passed between nodes in an IP internetwork.
Identity branch of the E1 DSU/CSU menu tree.
A shared boundary between functional units.
The worldwide interconnected collection of networks that predominantly use the
TCP/IP protocol.

device.
International Standards Organization.
Kilobits per second (thousand bits per second).
Local Area Network. A network that spans a small geographic area (e.g., a
building).
Liquid Crystal Display. Sealed glass plates containing liquid crystal material. When
voltage is applied, the amount of light passing through the plates is altered so that
messages may be displayed.
Link Control Protocol.
Light-Emitting Diode. A status indicator that glows in response to the application of
a voltage.
A communication path between two network nodes.
The protocol that regulates the communication between two network nodes.
A trap that identifies the condition of the communications interface (linkDown or
linkUp traps).
Line Loopback. Loops the received signal on the network interface back to the
network without change.
Loss Of Frame. The inability to maintain frame synchronization.
Loss Of Frame Count. A count of the number of LOFs declared.
A test that verifies a device's operation by connecting the device's output to the
device's input.
Loss Of Signal. The E1 line condition where there are no pulses.
