PVCs are implemented through either a management program termed Omega or a remote management station. With this release, each switch must have a PVC connection between itself and every other switch.

  • Page 18: Ethernet Switching

    Product Description Ethernet Switching There are two popular methods to forward information: store-and-forward and cut-through. Although your switch employs store-and-forward as the default, you can also choose cut-through. Store-and-forward Store-and-forward means that your switch stores the entire packet and then forwards it.
  • Page 19 AT-S7/AT-S9 Operations Manual If a packet’s MAC address is not already stored in the Bridge Address Table, the switch adds the learned address, the associated port number and a timer value that indicates the age of the dynamic Bridge Address Table entry. Consequently, the switch knows the address and associated port number the next time it sees that address.

  • Page 101: Glossary

    Appendix B Glossary 10BASE-T—IEEE 802.3 UTP Ethernet. Low-cost Level 3 or better UTP wiring affords 100 meters (328 ft.) of point-to-point link segments. UTP uses RJ45 connectors and sometimes 50-pin AMP connectors to a patch panel and runs at 10 MHz. ADDRESS RESOLUTION PROTOCOL (ARP)—The procedures and messages in any communications protocol which resolve local addresses to those of the network.
  • Page 102 Glossary CROSSOVER—Wiring used when connecting a 10BASE-T MAU to another 10BASE-T MAU or a 10BASE-T hub to another 10BASE-T hub. For example, one 10BASE-T MAU has the TD pair on the same pins as another 10BASE-T MAU. If pins were wired straight, there would be two transmitters on one pair and no receiver.
  • Page 103 AT-S7/AT-S9 Operations Manual LAN EMULATION CLIENT (LEC)—ATM Forum-defined specifications in support of LAN-to-LAN connectivity, called LAN Emulation. LEC defines that set of functions implemented in a LAN DTE to interface with an ATM network in support of LAN Emulation. LAN EMULATION SERVER (LES)—LES defines that set of functions implemented in an ATM network in support of LAN-to-LAN connection establishment.
  • Page 104 Glossary NETWORK SERVICES ACCESS POINT (NSAP)—OSI generic standard for a network address consisting of 20 octets. ATM has specified E.164 for public network addressing and the NSAP address structure for private network addresses. PATCH PANEL—A 10BASE-T patch panel may be used between a punch-down block and UTP workstation.
  • Page 105 AT-S7/AT-S9 Operations Manual STAND-ALONE—Repeater operating as a hub on its own; i.e., not a module among other modules in a department concentrator chassis. A type of wiring connection where the pins of one STRAIGHT-THROUGH— connector connect to the same pins of another connector. For example, pin 1 of one connector connects to pin 1 of another connector.
  • Page 106 Glossary USER-TO-NETWORK INTERFACE (UNI)—The interface between an end device and a public or private ATM switch. VIRTUAL CIRCUIT (VC)—A connection between end users that has defined end points and route but does not have bandwidth dedicated to it. Bandwidth is allocated on demand by the network as users have traffic to transmit.
