  2. Forwarding information base - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forwarding_information_base

    A forwarding information base (FIB), also known as a forwarding table or MAC table, is most commonly used in network bridging, routing, and similar functions to find the proper output network interface controller to which the input interface should forward a packet. It is a dynamic table that maps MAC addresses to ports.

  5. Port Aggregation Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_Aggregation_Protocol

    A limitation of Port Aggregation Protocol is that all the physical ports in the aggregation group must reside on the same switch. Cisco's 6500 and the 4500E platforms, remove this limitation using Virtual Switching System (VSS), [1] which allows port channels to be split between two chassis. PAgP is not supported in Cisco Nexus Switches.

    Cisco's IOS software maintains one IDB for each hardware interface in a particular Cisco switch or router and one IDB for each subinterface. The number of IDBs present in a system varies with the Cisco hardware platform type. Physical and logical interfaces on the switch will be referenced with either expanded or abbreviated port description names.

  7. Port mirroring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_mirroring

    Port mirroring is used on a network switch to send a copy of network packets seen on one switch port (or an entire VLAN) to a network monitoring connection on another switch port. This is commonly used for network appliances that require monitoring of network traffic such as an intrusion detection system, passive probe or real user monitoring ...

  8. Promiscuous mode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Promiscuous_mode

    As promiscuous mode can be used in a malicious way to capture private data in transit on a network, computer security professionals might be interested in detecting network devices that are in promiscuous mode. In promiscuous mode, some software might send responses to frames even though they were addressed to another machine.
