S
seed
A CDP-enabled device used as a starting point for discovery. For example, by
adding a seed device (or set of seed devices), the neighbors of the seed device
are discovered using CDP.
SMTP
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. Internet protocol providing e-mail services.
SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol. Network management protocol used
almost exclusively in TCP/IP networks. SNMP provides a means to monitor and
control network devices, and to manage configurations, statistics collection,
performance, and security.
SSH
Secure Shell. Provides a secure Telnet connection, encrypting all traffic,
including passwords
SSID
Service Set ID. It is a unique identifier that client devices use to associate with
the access point. The SSID helps client devices distinguish between multiple
wireless networks in the same vicinity. The SSID can be any alphanumeric entry
up to 32 characters long.
SSL
Secure Socket Layer. Proves a secure connection between the WLSE and Web
clients.
STP
Spanning-Tree Protocol. Bridge protocol that uses the spanning-tree algorithm,
enabling a learning bridge to dynamically work around loops in a network
topology by creating a spanning tree. Bridges exchange BPDU messages with
other bridges to detect loops, and then remove the loops by shutting down
selected bridge interfaces. Refers to both the IEEE 802.1 Spanning-Tree
Protocol standard and the earlier Digital Equipment Corporation Spanning-Tree
Protocol upon which it is based. The IEEE version supports bridge domains and
allows the bridge to construct a loop-free topology across an extended LAN. The
IEEE version generally is preferred over the Digital version.
