Management Information Base (MIB)
MIB is an acronym for Management Information Base. It is a set of Database objects that
contains information about a specific device.
MD5 Message-Digest Algorithm
An algorithm that is used to create digital signatures. It is intended for use with 32 bit
machines and is safer than the MD4 algorithm. MD5 is a one-way hash function. It takes
a message and converts it into a fixed string of digits also called a message digest.
Network Time Protocol (NTP)
NTP provides the mechanisms to synchronize time across the Network. The time
Servers operate in a hierarchical-master-slave configuration in order to synchronize
local clocks within the subnet and to national time standards via wire or radio.
Port Authentication (See IEEE 802.1X)
Port Mirroring
A method whereby Data on a target Port is mirrored to a monitor Port for troubleshoot-
ing with a logic analyzer or RMON probe. This allows Data on the target Port to be
studied.
Port Trunk
Defines a Network link Aggregation and trunking method which specifies how to create
a single high-speed logical link that combines several lower-speed physical links.
Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS)
RADIUS is a logon Authentication protocol that uses software running on a central
Server to control access to RADIUS-compliant devices on the Network.
Remote Monitoring (RMON)
RMON provides comprehensive Network monitoring capabilities. It eliminates the
polling required in standard SNMP, and can set alarms on a variety of traffic conditions,
including specific error types.
Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP)
Reduces the convergence time for Network topology changes to about 10% of that
required by the older IEEE 802.1D STP standard.
