PoE (Power over Ethernet) - PoE Switches can deliver power to PoE-enabled devices like Wireless Access Points or
IP Phones through their Ethernet ports to eliminate the need for power outlets. These switches have built-in safeguards
to poll connected end devices for PoE capability before delivering power. PoE enables companies to position Wireless
Access Points virtually anywhere in their buildings when power outlets are not available or to optimize best possible
wireless signal coverage for employees. PoE also enables phones to be placed or relocated to dierent areas where
power outlets are not available.
Stackable Switches - Stackable switches are switches that can be connected and managed as one switch. For
example, four 24-port stackable switches could be managed as one 96-port switch. This capability helps to simplify
and streamline management workow of the stack.

PoE (Power over Ethernet) - PoE Switches can deliver power to PoE-enabled devices like Wireless Access Points or
IP Phones through their Ethernet ports. These switches have built-in safeguards to poll connected end devices for
PoE capability before delivering power. PoE enables companies to position Wireless Access Points virtually anywhere
in their buildings when power outlets are not available or to achieve best possible wireless signal coverage for
employees. PoE also enables phones to be placed or relocated to dierent Ethernet nodes throughout a building.
SSID (Service Set Identier) - The SSID is the name of a wireless network broadcast by a wireless router or access
point to which wireless clients associate. The WAP200 has the ability to broadcast multiple SSIDs for discrete
networks. One SSID, for example for surveillance, can be a password-protected private network with access rights
to only select users in a business. Another SSID can also be a private company network for employee-only access to
company resources or a public network, so guests of the company can access the Internet and their email.
Once a small business goes wireless, they will wonder how they ever lived without it. Now they can enjoy the
freedom to work anywhere, without cables and get the performance they have come to expect from a robust
business network—wirelessly. Many Linksys Business Series wireless routers, access points and adapters include
features like multiple SSID-to-VLAN mapping, 802.11g or 802.11n with Power over Ethernet, VPN security, Quality
of Service, WPA and WMM and more. At the same time, these devices are designed to be easy to set up, reliable,
and include powerful and intuitive management tools. Going wireless has never been so easy or affordable.

The intelligent chassis design of the Linksys Network Storage System (NSS) series of products gives IT managers,
VARs and integrators the flexibility to configure or reconfigure a storage system for specific business requirements.
A Linksys Business Series NSS product can be optimized for performance, capacity and/or reliability depending on
the size and type of SATA (Serial ATA) drives selected or included. Supporting as many as 15 or 75 concurrent CIFS
4
users, Linksys Business Series NSS products bring robust Network Attached Storage (NAS) within reach of today’s
budget-minded small businesses or workgroups in larger organizations.
Linksys Business Series NSS devices are ideal for storing, backing up, sharing and archiving critical company or
customer information on an on-going basis. The feature set of the rack-mountable Linksys NSS series set it
apart from entry-level, desktop NAS systems. At the same time, its competitive pricing gives small businesses
the opportunity to realize substantial cost savings when compared with more expensive and inflexible storage
systems.
Unlike other NAS systems that need to contain operating system software on one or more hard drives, each
Linksys NSS product features a unique and intelligent chassis that contains the Linux OS that controls the system.
This gives the NSS system the flexibility to be configured without connected drives and reconfigured at any time,
even hot swapping and resorting hard drives to different storage bays.

Now small businesses, instead of piecing together different and sometimes incompatible networking products,
phones and other devices, can have an integrated solution that’s designed to work together. With a Linksys One
solution, small businesses also have a single trusted contact, a Linksys One VAR, who provides quick installation,
training, and remote management, together with an authorized Service Provider that can deliver low cost,
business applications and IP phone service.
Linksys One has powerful security, Quality of Service (QoS) and reliability built right into the solution, so a small
business can focus on their business. This unique technology leverages years of Cisco and Linksys experience in
building secure voice and data networks, and brings that expertise to the Linksys One solution.
As a small business grows, the Linksys One solution can grow with them. New employees can be connected to
computers and phones in minutes. The Linksys One network updates itself and can automatically incorporate
new Linksys One devices and applications to provide smarter ways for companies to transact business. This level
of integration enables small businesses to scale their system cost effectively with simple moves, adds and changes.
Linksys Business Series SFE and SGE Stackable Switches and Network Storage Systems (NSS) are Linksys One Ready
devices. That means they already include the necessary firmware to be integrated into a Linksys One network. All
that a small business needs to do is to supplement their data network with a Linksys One Services Router (and
Linksys One IP Phones if they want voice). The Linksys One Services Router will instantly discover the Linksys One
Ready Switches, IP Cameras and NSS devices and join them to the network.

Specifies the max. speed per port at the switch, 100 Mbit is “Fast Ethernet”, 1000 Mbit is Gigabit Ethernet.
Specifies the max. speed per port at the switch, 100 Mbit is “Fast Ethernet”.
An expansion slot that can be populated with a Gigabit module, usually used to connect to the network backbone over Fiber.
Provide both a Mini-GBIC expansion slot and a standard 10/100/1000 port, although only one of the interfaces can be active.
To provide power to devices which are connected to the wired network, e.g. IP Phones, usually used to eliminate the power supply.
Some devices only need half of the maximum power, some switches offer 7.5 Watt at all ports and 15.4 Watt at half of the ports.
For devices that are using the max. power of 15.4 Watt.
Spanning Tree is used in switched networks to prevent loops, and has been standardized by IEEE 802.1D.
Rapid Spanning Tree is an evolution of the Spanning Tree Protocol, and was introduced in IEEE 802.1w, and provides for faster spanning tree convergence after a topology change.
Per-VLAN Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol configures a separate Spanning Tree for each VLAN and blocks the links that are redundant within each Spanning Tree.
Multiple Links are treated as a single connection. This allows to connect backbones or servers at higher data rates using multiple connections which are aggregated
and handled as if they were just one connection.
Number of trunking groups that can be used for aggregation.
Network protocol according to 802.3ad for dynamic bonding of physical network connections.

For example, you can put departments into a VLAN, so bookkeeping has its own Virtual LAN.
Protocol for dynamic propagation VLAN informaiton among networking devices.
IGMP Snooping limits bandwidth-intensive video traffic to only the requestors without flooding to all users.
A port configured to strict priority always gets priority over other ports.
Is a best-effort connection scheduling discipline.
Enables the Administrator to limit the bandwidth on specific ports.
Controls and prevent the negative effects of broadcast, and multicast storms - these storms can reduce the availability and performance of the network.
Traffic is prioritized based on the layer 3 priority. Typically, end-station applications set the priority of the packets sent into the network.
An abstract data type that supports priority within the networks.
Used in bigger installation to have one authentication tool for all users, there is normally one RADIUS Sever in the company, there is also a RADIUS protocol which
provides security and authentication.
Authentication standard for IEEE802 networks.
TACACS+ allows a separate access server (the TACACS+ server) to provide the services of authentication, authorization, and accounting independently. Each service can
be tied into its own database or can use the other services available on that server or on the network.
The switch does not provide any management functions.
The device provides management interfaces in order to setup and maintain the device, VLAN’s, QoS and other features are setup here.
Management of the device using a standard web browser (e.g. IE or Firefox) .
Secure way of managing the switch when connecting over Telnet or the Web GUI.
Used for administration purposes. A text-based interface (Menu-based access) for diagnostic and basic configuration purposes.
The protocol is used by network management systems for monitoring network-attached devices for conditions that warrant administrative attention.
All the traffic of specific port is mirrored to another port, this is useful for maintenance and trouble shooting.
Advanced feature to detect cabling errors.
To get statistical data from network devices and also usable for network management.
Updates time of switches from a central time server.
The unique address associated with each networks device. MAC addresses are usually permanently “burned” into the hardware.
Memory to buffer packets .
Bigger than usual frames, provides better utilization of the network due to reduced transmission overhead, often used for Server to Server communications.
The device can be directly mounted in a standard 19” rack.
No external power supply needed, the device is directly connected with 110 or 230 Volts, usually used for 19” rack mountable devices.
External power supply, usually used for desktop class products.
Used to cool the inside of the device.
No fan is needed in the device, which can reduce the noise emitted by the device.

access and archiving of the data. Different RAID levels have different attributes and performance/functional tradeoffs. Some offer
better methods for data integrity, fault tolerance, throughput or capacity. Based on the specific needs of the users connected to
the storage device some RAID levels may be more suitable than others. Current RAID level schemes include: RAID 0 – Striping; RAID
1 – Mirroring; RAID 4 – Independent Access with Dedicated Parity (not often used); RAID 5 – Independent Access with Distributed
Parity (very popular method). Currently, the NSS device offers the choice of five different RAID levels (including JBOD) with two options for adding a hot spare to an existing RAID level.
RJ-45 (Registered Jack-45) An Ethernet connector that holds up to eight wires.

Roaming The ability to take a wireless device from one access point’s range to another without losing the connection.
Router A networking device that connects multiple networks together, such as a local network and the Internet.
RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol) A protocol that enables specialized applications, such as Internet phone calls, video, and audio,
to occur in real time.
RTS (Request To Send) A networking method of coordinating large packets through the RTS Threshold setting.
Server Any computer whose function in a network is to provide user access to files, printing, communications, and other services.
Snapshot A copy of a set of files, volumes, or directories as they were at a particular point in the past. The purpose of snapshot,
as utilized by the Linksys NSS devices, is that it provides a way that users can recover their own files without having to ask an IT
person to restore a backup. So for files that are on a volume for which snapshotting is enabled, a snapshot folder will be created
for each share. If the user decides they want to revert to an older version of the file, they can simply browse the snapshot folder
and find a version of the file that meets their needs. The snapshots can be set for hourly, daily and weekly intervals.
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) A widely used network monitoring and control protocol.
Software Instructions for the computer. A series of instructions that performs a particular task is called a “program”.
SOHO (Small Office/Home Office) Market segment of professionals who work at home or in small offices.
SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) Firewall A technology that inspects incoming packets of information before allowing them to
enter the network.
Spread Spectrum Wideband radio frequency technique used for more reliable and secure data transmission.
SSID (Service Set Identifier) Your wireless network’s name.
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) An application layer security protocol used to provide authentication and communication privacy
of data transmitted over the Internet.
Static IP Address A fixed address assigned to a computer or device that is connected to a network.
Static Routing Forwarding data in a network via a fixed path.
Striping A method of concatenating multiple disk drives into one logical storage unit. Striping involves partitioning each drive’s
storage space into stripes which may be as small as one sector (512 bytes) or as large as several megabytes. These stripes are then
interleaved round-robin, so that the combined space is composed alternately of stripes from each drive. In effect, the storage space
of the drives is shuffled like a deck of cards. The type of application environment, I/O or data intensive, determines whether large
or small stripes should be used.
Subnet Mask An address code that determines the size of the network.
Switch 1. A device that that connects computing devices to host computers, allowing a large number of devices to share a
limited number of ports. 2. A device for making, breaking, or changing the connections in an electrical circuit.
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) A network protocol for transmitting data that requires acknowledgement from the
recipient of data sent.
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) A network protocol for transmitting data that requires
acknowledgement from the recipient of data sent.
Telnet A user command and TCP/IP protocol used for accessing remote PCs.
Throughput The amount of data moved successfully from one node to another in a given time period.
TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) A version of the TCP/IP FTP protocol that uses UDP and has no directory or password
capability.
TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) A wireless encryption protocol that periodically changes the encryption key, making
it harder to decode.
TLS (Transport Layer Security) Is a protocol that guarantees privacy and data integrity between client/server applications
communicating over the Internet.
TX Rate Transmission Rate.
UDP (User Datagram Protocol) A network protocol for transmitting data that does not require acknowledgement from the
recipient of the data that is sent.
Unmanaged Switch A basic switch that works right out of the box and does not allow the user remote network administration
capability.
Upload To transmit a file over a network.
VOIP or IP Telephony Voice over Internet Protocol. Technology that enables people to use the Internet to transmit packets of
voice data using IP rather than traditional circuit transmissions. Seen as a more affordable voice solution for businesses.
VLAN (Virtual LAN) A network of computers that behave as if they are connected to the same wire, though they may actually
be physically located on different segments of a LAN.
VPN (Virtual Private Network) A security measure to protect data as it leaves one network and goes to another over the Internet.
WAN (Wide Area Network) A group of networked computers in a large geographical area. The best example of a WAN is the
Internet.
WEP (Wired Equivalency Protocol) WEP is a security protocol for wireless networks. WEP aims to provide security by encrypting
data over radio waves so that it is protected as it is transmitted from one end point to another. A shared key (similar to a password)
is used to allow communication between the computers and the router. WEP offers a basic, but satisfactory level of security for
wireless data transmission.
Wi-Fi A brandname of the Wi-Fi Alliance used to describe wireless LAN (WLAN) technology based on the IEEE 802.11 standards.
Wi-Fi Alliance A trade group that performs testing, develops specifications, certifies interoperability of products, and promotes
wireless networking technology. The Wi-Fi alliance owns the trademark to “Wi-Fi”.
WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) A group of computers and associated devices that communicate with each other wirelessly.
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) A security protocol for wireless networks that builds on the basic foundations of WEP. It secures
wireless data transmission by using a key similar to WEP, but the added strength of WPA is that the key changes dynamically. The
changing key makes it much more difficult for a hacker to learn the key and gain access to the network.
WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2) WPA2 is the second generation of WPA security and provides a stronger encryption mechanism
through Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), which is a requirement for some government users.
WPA-Personal A version of WPA that uses long and constantly changing encryption keys to make them difficult to decode.
WPA-Enterprise A version of WPA that uses the same dynamic keys as WPA-Personal and also requires each wireless device to be
authorized according to a master list held in a special authentication server.
Telnet A user command and TCP/IP protocol used for accessing remote PCs.
