There can be 15 different rate limiters, each ranging from 1-1024K
packets per seconds. Under "Ports" and "Access Control List" web-pages
you can assign a Rate Limiter ID to the ACE(s) or ingress port(s).
AES
AES is an acronym for Advanced Encryption Standard. The encryption
key protocol is applied in 802.1i standard to improve WLAN security. It is
an encryption standard by the U.S. government, which will replace DES
and 3DES. AES has a fixed block size of 128 bits and a key size of 128,
192, or 256 bits.
AMS
AMS is an acronym for Auto Media Select. AMS is used for dual media
ports (ports supporting both copper (cu) and fiber (SFP) cables. AMS
automatically determines if a SFP or a CU cable is inserted and switches
to the corresponding media. If both SFP and cu cables are inserted, the
port will select the prefered media.
APS
APS is an acronym for Automatic Protection Switching. This protocol is
used to secure that switching is done bidirectional in the two ends of a
protection group, as defined in G.8031.
Aggregation
Using multiple ports in parallel to increase the link speed beyond the limits of a port and
to increase the redundancy for higher availability.
(Also Port Aggregation, Link Aggregation).
ARP
ARP is an acronym for Address Resolution Protocol. It is a protocol that
used to convert an IP address into a physical address, such as an
Ethernet address. ARP allows a host to communicate with other hosts
when only the Internet address of its neighbors is known. Before using
IP, the host sends a broadcast ARP request containing the Internet
address of the desired destination system.
ARP Inspection
ARP Inspection is a secure feature. Several types of attacks can be
launched against a host or devices connected to Layer 2 networks by
"poisoning" the ARP caches. This feature is used to block such attacks.
Only valid ARP requests and responses can go through the switch device.
