10GbE

10 Gigabit Ethernet.

A

ACL

Access control list.

G

GARP

Generic Attribute Registration Protocol.

GMRP

GARP Multicast Registration Protocol.

GVRP

GARP VLAN Registration Protocol.

L

LA

Link Aggregation protocol.

L2

Layer 2, (Data Link [MAC]) of the OSI model TCP/IP stack.

L3

Layer 3, (Network) of the OSI model TCP/IP stack.

LLA

Logical Link Aggregation protocol.

LR

Long-range. A long-range SFP+ optical tranceiver module.

LR-M

Long-range multi-mode. A long range multi-mode SFP+ optical tranceiver module.

N

NEM

Network express module.

O

Oracle ILOM

Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager. ILOM provides advanced server processor hardware and software to manage and monitor servers.

OSPF

Open Shortest Path First protocol.

P

PVRST

Per-VLAN Rapid Spanning Tree protocol.

Q

QSFP

Quad small form-factor, pluggable. A transceiver specification for 4x 10GbE modules.

R

RIP

Routing Information Protocol.

RSTP

Rapid Spanning tree protocol.

S

SEFOS

Sun Ethernet Fabric Operating System. A full-featured fabric and switch management software package for configuring and monitoring the switches network infrastructure.

SEL

System event log. The switch includes a number of replaceable component sensors that generate entries in the SEL when the sensor crosses a threshold. Many of these readings are used to adjust the fan speeds and perform other actions, such as illuminatiing LEDs and powering off the switch.

SFP+

Small form-factor, pluggable. A transceiver module specification for several physical layer technologies. In this document, SFP+ refers to Gigabit Ethernet, or 10GE, modules.

SR

Short range. A short range SFP+ optical tranceiver module.

SP

Service processor.

STP

Spanning-Tree Protocol.

T

TOR

Top of rack. The Sun Network 10GbE Switch 72p is a TOR switch.
