Local Area Network
(LAN)
A data communications system that lies within a limited spatial area, uses a
specific user group and topology, and can connect to a public switched
telecommunications network (but is not one).
management
information base
(MIB)
The MIB defines system operations and parameters used for the Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
mask A bit string that the device uses along with an IP address to indicate the
number of leading bits in the address that correspond with the network part.
maximum
transmission unit
(MTU)
The largest number of bytes in a packet—the maximum transmission unit of
the port.
media A substance that transmits data between ports; usually fiber optic cables or
category 5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) copper wires.
Media Access
Control (MAC)
Arbitrates access to and from a shared medium.
Message Digest 5
(MD5)
A one-way hash function that creates a message digest for digital
signatures.
multicast group ID
(MGID)
The multicast group ID (MGID) is a hardware mechanism the switch uses to
send data to several ports simultaneously. Instead of sending the data to a
specific port number, the switch directs the data to an MGID. The switch
maintains a table that maps MGIDs to their member ports. Both virtual LAN
(VLAN) and IP multicast (IPMC) use MGIDs.
MultiLink Trunking
(MLT)
A method of link aggregation that uses multiple Ethernet trunks aggregated
to provide a single logical trunk. A multilink trunk provides the combined
bandwidth of multiple links and the physical layer protection against the
failure of a single link.
multimode fiber
(MMF)
A fiber with a core diameter larger than the wavelength of light transmitted
that you can use to propagate many modes of light. Commonly used with
LED sources for low speed and short distance lengths. Typical core sizes
(measured in microns) are 50/125, 62.5/125 and 100/140.
nanometer (nm)
One billionth of a meter (10
-9
meter). A unit of measure commonly used to
express the wavelengths of light.
Network Time
Protocol (NTP)
A protocol that works with TCP that assures accurate local time keeping
with reference to radio and atomic clocks located on the Internet. NTP
synchronizes distributed clocks within milliseconds over long time periods.
