## Glossary

## 10

10GbE

  10 Gigabit Ethernet.

## A

ACL

  Access control list.

## G

GARP

  Generic Attribute Registration Protocol.

GMRP

  GARP Multicast Registration Protocol.

GVRP

  GARP VLAN Registration Protocol.

## L

LA

  Link Aggregation protocol.

L2

  Layer 2, (Data Link [MAC]) of the OSI model TCP/IP stack.

L3

  Layer 3, (Network) of the OSI model TCP/IP stack.

LLA

  Logical Link Aggregation protocol.

LR

  Long-range. A long-range SFP+ optical tranceiver module.

LR-M

  Long-range multi-mode. A long range multi-mode SFP+ optical tranceiver module.

## N

NEM

  Network express module.

## O

Oracle ILOM

  Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager. ILOM provides advanced server processor hardware and software to manage and monitor servers.

OSPF

  Open Shortest Path First protocol.

## P

PVRST

  Per-VLAN Rapid Spanning Tree protocol.

## Q

QSFP

  Quad small form-factor, pluggable. A transceiver specification for 4x 10GbE modules.

## R

RIP

  Routing Information Protocol.

RSTP

  Rapid Spanning tree protocol.

## S

SEFOS

  Sun Ethernet Fabric Operating System. A full-featured fabric and switch management software package for configuring and monitoring the switches network infrastructure.

SEL

  System event log. The switch includes a number of replaceable component sensors that generate entries in the SEL when the sensor crosses a threshold. Many of these readings are used to adjust the fan speeds and perform other actions, such as illuminatiing LEDs and powering off the switch.

SFP+

  Small form-factor, pluggable. A transceiver module specification for several physical layer technologies. In this document, SFP+ refers to Gigabit Ethernet, or 10GE, modules.

SR

  Short range. A short range SFP+ optical tranceiver module.

SP

  Service processor.

STP

  Spanning-Tree Protocol.

## T

TOR

  Top of rack. The Sun Network 10GbE Switch 72p is a TOR switch.
