Glossary
Autocrossover
Capability of automatically crossing over the send and receive signals at
twisted-pair ports (automatic switchover between MDI and MDI-X pinning at a
port). When, for example, connecting network components, you no longer need
crossover cables.
The autocrossover function is available only when autonegotiation is activated.
Autonegotiation
In the autonegotiation mode, an electrical OSM/ESM port sets itself
automatically to the transmission rate (10/100 Mbps) of the connected partner
device. If the partner device also supports autonegotiation, the devices further
negotiate whether they will exchange data in the half-duplex or full-duplex mode
and full-duplex flow control see Section 2.12.
FDB table
The FDB table contains node addresses (MAC addresses) and the port of the
OSM/ESM over which the node address is obtainable.
Aging
Aging means that a learned entry in the FBD table is cleared when no packet
with a source address corresponding to the entry is received within the aging
time. The OSM/ESM assumes that this node no longer exists.
Back pressure
Flow control for ports operating in the half duplex mode. With this type of flow
control, the OSM/ESM reduces the packet rate received at a port if there is
overload in the network by generating additional collisions.
BOOTP
The Bootstrap protocol is used by the OSM/ESM to download the IP address,
subnet mask and address of the default gateway automatically from a BOOTP
server. It is also possible to send the name of a file containing the firmware on
the TFTP server.
