  2. Forwarding information base - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forwarding_information_base

    The label edge routers at the edges of an MPLS cloud map between the end-to-end identifier, such as an IP address, and a link-local label. At each MPLS hop, there is a forwarding table that tells the label-switched router which outgoing interface is to receive the MPLS packet, and what label to use when sending the packet out that interface.

  3. MAC address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC_address

    Label of a UMTS router with MAC addresses for LAN and WLAN modules. A MAC address (short for medium access control address or media access control address) is a unique identifier assigned to a network interface controller (NIC) for use as a network address in communications within a network segment.

  4. Cisco Express Forwarding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cisco_Express_Forwarding

    Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) is an advanced layer 3 switching technology used mainly in large core networks or the Internet to enhance the overall network performance. . Although CEF is a Cisco proprietary protocol other vendors of multi-layer switches or high-capacity routers offer a similar functionality where layer-3 switching or routing is done in hardware (in an ASIC) instead of by ...

  5. Data plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Plane

    Cisco VIP 2-40, from an older generation of routers. Performance Route Processor, from the high-end Cisco 12000 series.. In routing, the data plane, sometimes called the forwarding plane or user plane, defines the part of the router architecture that decides what to do with packets arriving on an inbound interface.

    The Cisco multicast router AUTO-RP-ANNOUNCE address is used by RP mapping agents to listen for candidate announcements. Yes 224.0.1.40 The Cisco multicast router AUTO-RP-DISCOVERY address is the destination address for messages from the RP mapping agent to discover candidates. Yes 224.0.1.41 H.323 Gatekeeper discovery address Yes 224.0.1.129–132

  7. MAC-Forced Forwarding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC-Forced_Forwarding

    When a host tries to access the network through a switch port, DHCP snooping checks the host’s IP address against the database to ensure that the host is valid. MACFF then uses DHCP snooping to check whether the host has a gateway Access Router. If it does, MACFF uses a form of Proxy ARP to reply to any ARP requests, giving the router's MAC ...

  8. Cisco Discovery Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cisco_Discovery_Protocol

    Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) is a proprietary data link layer protocol developed by Cisco Systems in 1994 [1] by Keith McCloghrie and Dino Farinacci. It is used to share information about other directly connected Cisco equipment, such as the operating system version and IP address .

  9. Medium access control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medium_access_control

    The local network addresses used in IEEE 802 networks and FDDI networks are called MAC addresses; they are based on the addressing scheme that was used in early Ethernet implementations. A MAC address is intended as a unique serial number. MAC addresses are typically assigned to network interface hardware at the time of manufacture.
