LACP

LACP is an IEEE 802.3ad standard protocol. The Link Aggregation Control Protocol, allows bundling several

physical ports together to form a single logical port.

address in the frame ). This table contains both static and dynamic entries. The static entries are configured by

ynamic entries are removed from the MAC table if no frame with the corresponding

ddress have been seen after a configurable age time.

Switching of frames is based upon the DMAC address contained in the frame. The switch builds up a table t

maps MAC addresses to switch ports for knowing which ports the frames should go to ( based upon the DMAC

the network administrator if the administrator wants to do a fixed mapping between the DMAC address and

switch ports.

The frames also contain a MAC address ( SMAC address ), which shows the MAC address of the equipment

sending the frame. The SMAC address is used by the switch to automatically update the MAC table with these

dynamic MAC addresses. D

Mirroring

For debugging network problems or monitoring network traffic, the switch system can be configured to mirror

frames from multiple ports to a mirror port. (In this context, mirroring a frame is the same as copying the frame.)

Both incoming (source) and outgoing (destination) frames can be mirrored to the mirror port.

NetBIOS

NetBIOS is an acronym for Network Basic Input/Output System. It is a program that allows applications on

separate computers to communicate within a Local Area Network (LAN), and it is not supported on a Wide Area

Network (WAN).

The NetBIOS giving each computer in the network both a NetBIOS name and an IP address corresponding to a

different host name, provides the session and transport services described in the Open Systems Interconnection

(OSI) model.

NFS

NFS is an acronym for Network File System. It allows hosts to mount partitions on a remote system and use

them as though they are local file systems.
