NMS, Novell Novell's NMS (NetWare Management System) is an
integrated network management system that provides a
platform for managing a multivendor, heterogeneous
network environment. NMS can autodiscover network
services by monitoring transmitted SAP IDs. NMS is part
of ManageWise.
Nonvolatile Random
Access Memory
Electronic circuitry that provides back-up operation of
CMOS RAM and/or Flash PROM in case of a
power failure.
NVRAM See Nonvolatile Random Access Memory.
Octet An octet consists of 8 bits (that is, a byte).
Octets received OK The number of octets (bytes) received without error.
Partition The electrical disconnecting of a node from a LAN at its
point of connection to a hub. The node remains physically
attached. A node can be autopartitioned by the hardware
based on network errors.
PDU See Protocol Data Unit.
Port An external connector in which a cable is plugged and to
which PCs and other node devices on the network connect.
POST Power On Self Test
Protocol Data Unit A packet that contains control information and
optional data.
RIP Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is the routing protocol
used by IPX routers. It optimizes the routing between
source and destination addresses by minimizing the “hop”
count. The firmware supports RIP to allow NMS to
ascertain the 2724/2824 hub’s MAC address, thus allowing
NMS to initiate SNMP over IPX communications.
