Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a protocol used to synchronize the clocks of network devices, ensuring accurate and consistent timekeeping across a network. It is essential for activities such as logging, security, and coordinated operations.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) facilitates the monitoring and management of network devices. SNMP allows network administrators to collect information about device performance, detect issues, and remotely configure devices.
IP Service Level Agreements (IP-SLA) is a Cisco technology that measures network performance by generating synthetic traffic, such as ping or HTTP requests, to assess the quality of service. IP-SLA helps diagnose and troubleshoot network performance issues.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) automates the assignment of IP addresses and network configuration information to devices in a network. It streamlines the network administration process by dynamically allocating and managing IP addresses.
Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) is a feature that enables the monitoring of network traffic by copying packets from one or more ports to another designated monitoring port. SPAN is valuable for network analysis, troubleshooting, and security monitoring.
