FTP
FTP is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol. It is a transfer protocol that uses the
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and provides file writing and reading. It also
provides directory service and security features.
Fast Leave
Multicast snooping Fast Leave processing allows the switch to remove an interface from
the forwarding-table entry without first sending out group specific queries to the interface.
The VLAN interface is pruned from the multicast tree for the multicast group specified in
the original leave message. Fast-leave processing ensures optimal bandwidth
management for all hosts on a switched network, even when multiple multicast groups
are in use simultaneously. This processing applies to IGMP and MLD.
